Picketing by Van Buren Subscribers at PSC Protest
Six people from Van Buren picketed the Justice Building in rain to protest the state Public Service Commission. They identified as Arkansas State Telephone Co. subscribers serving about half their area while the rest are served by Southwestern Bell. Toll charges were mentioned for calls on the Bell system. The dispute ties into the broader fight over decentralizing Arkansas public schools and potential state aid. The school board did not reveal specific charges or file complaints as per standard procedure.
