Cocktails in public? Say it isn't so!

This senate "oversight" committee of Arkansas Game and Fish is meeting there on Thursday at 3:PM. AGFC is to show the members of the committee a slide show entitled "Fueling the Future of Arkansas Wildlife"

I wish I was kidding.

Perhaps someone from the media can drop in for this "oversight" meeting.

Is anybody else concerned that the Nature Center looks a little cheesy? Hardi-board siding? Crappy dull mustard color in the midst of old brick warehouses? Muddy runoff paths into the AR river... I think it is poorly sited and a dull design.
