Scions Probe State Budget Session Political Meeting Claim
In a heated Arkansas senate debate on a highway maintenance bill an accusation arose that the current special session was a political meeting between factions. Henry Hardy claimed lawmakers are jockeying for the governor's race while arguing for delays on amendments and calls to overhaul welfare, with no definite policy outlined yet. The house rejected a proposal to create a Jonesboro tuberculosis sanatorium branch and, on a toll bridge bill, minor appropriations were removed. A joint session plan to present a bridge-freeing program was urged, and a study commission was authorized to review future funding terms.
