Arkansas Constitutional Convention Bill Sparks Senate Debate
The Senate backed a constitutional convention plan referencing the 1965 House apportionment, a move opponents say risks one person one vote. The bill requires the convention finish by July 1970 with a 1970 general election vote. Sen. Guy Jones of Conway criticized timing and press pressure, while Sen. Robert Harvey defended the measure. House action approved 93-0, moving to inform Rep. Virgil Butler, who was hospitalized with chest pains. A second set of measures created a temporary Arkansas Constitutional Advisory Commission with $15,000 for operations.
