County Judges to Fight Plan for Schools
The Arkansas Association of County Judges planned an all-out fight against a proposed constitutional amendment No. 4. If adopted, it would guarantee public schools at least one month for each school-age child from the first allotment of general state revenues each year. Judges fear the cost would reduce county services and back-burner burnbacks. State Comptroller Lea Roy Beasley warned passage would cut county turnbacks by 1.6 million yearly unless taxes rise and could deprive the state of about 8 million annually in alcoholic beverage taxes.
