Defense of Act 1 Draws Arkansas Education Chief
Forrest Rozzell of the Arkansas Education Association defended Initiated Act 1 after the Commission on Coordination of Higher Education Finance opposed it. He argued Act 1 would guarantee 50 percent of general revenues to public schools and 3 percent to constitutional offices, leaving 47 percent for other agencies, countering a 44 percent figure cited by critics. He noted the state board’s recommendation of a $128.3 million biennial budget supports the act, as it would spend $4 to $5 million yearly less than requested.
