The District 57 race heats up over ED
The debate between Jerry Brown and Carol Hess seems to be about--hold onto your hats--economic development. Hess, a Republican, wants to "work closely with the Arkansas Department of Economic Development and any other state and local organization to recruit new factories to the area by offering to repeal the sales tax on manufacturers," (Don't we already have this? I could be wrong.) And Brown, the Democrat, says this about Cross and Woodruff counties: "[w]e're largely agriculture and that's good, but I want to work to attract different kinds of jobs to the area. We all know that as farms get larger there are fewer farmers, and that means fewer jobs in that industry."

Economic development --- sort of. At least they're talking about something that could be considered an issue, rather than what those poor folks over in District 90 have to contend with.
Hunt & Fish vs. Farm & Cows
Sounds like these two candidates are actually two halves of the same person.
