Water loans aim to ease drought across states
The article reports a federal bill allowing loans up to 250000 to individuals or 100000 to corporations to fund water projects across all states, led by Senator Fulbright and Arkansas official Melton. It argues for dams and reservoirs to regulate rainfall, conserve water, and shift from well to river water. Public works in Hope would require infrastructure changes to access Little River resources.

Tax Change to Help Parents Favored by Senate Panel
A provision in the administration’s tax revision bill, aimed at fathers with college-bound children, won tentative approval from the Senate Finance Committee. It would let a parent continue claiming a $400 exemption for a child under 19 or a student if the child earns more than $1,000, provided the parent supplies at least half the child’s support. The change would benefit about 1.9 million taxpayers and save roughly $74 million annually, part of a wage measure already passed by the House that would reduce overall taxes by about $1.9 billion in the first year. The committee continued executive session work on the bill today.
