Arkansas Legislature in late session approves many measures

The House debated public relations expense pay for legislators, and votes covered motor vehicle inspections, milk pricing inquiry, and a park plan for Indian M mound State Park.

Revenue Bill Introduced In Arkansas Legislature
The revenue stabilization bill to shape 1967-69 state funding was introduced in both houses as the General Assembly nears sine die adjournment. The plan prioritizes education with allocations for fiscal 1967-68 and 1968-69, then shifts to cities and other agencies based on revenue. Two weeks are needed for lawmakers to study potential changes, with no major alterations anticipated. A London chimp named Congo gained fame painting 384 pictures between 1956 and 1989.
