Arkansas Law School Aid and Cigarette Tax Battles
The Arkansas Senate defeated a bill to raise cigarette taxes to 44 cents per pack, while the House passed a school aid distribution plan and a companion measure for university funding. Debate included amendments exempting border purchases and ties to sales tax changes, with leaders weighing revenue and regional impact. A separate measure advanced to fund a university law school wing in Fayetteville, though partisan divides lingered.
