Legislative Sidelights From Arkansas Session
The Arkansas legislature nears adjournment with prospects of a summer or fall special session. With no permanent school funding agreement, a commission will study needs and report to a possible special session before the next term. Governor Parnell warned of a crisis unless schools gain relief, while lawmakers authorized school district notes to pay teachers owed for months, backed by the state equalization fund. The week saw confirmations of several gubernatorial appointments, including Walter Taylor as banking commissioner amid criticism over the American Exchange Trust and bank failures. J Lan Williams was reappointed to the highway commission. A bill to curb chain banking passed the senate, and an attempt to raise the state income tax failed. Continued coverage notes this item on page three.
