Rozzell Blasts Arkansas Legislature As Appalling
Forrest Rozzell executive secretary of the Arkansas Education Association called the current legislative session truly appalling in Little Rock. He said the Senate yielded to county officials and special interests while failing to raise teacher salaries and boosting officials’ pay by 18.5 percent. He noted funds shifting from county collectors to general use in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling and criticized use of tax funds to finance lobbying. He warned cigarette tax plans hinge on vending machine operators paying more, while legislators awarded themselves a $1,200 pay increase for the first 60 days with most representatives and senators taking part.
