Gun beat

Posted By Max Brantley on Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 4:38 PM

With House approval today, you'll get to vote on a constitutional amendment making hunting, fishing, trapping, etc. a state constitutional "right" -- subject to limitation by the state Game and Fish Commission.

And, if you choose to do your hunting with a weapon you otherwise keep concealed, be aware that your permit to carry same in concealment will remain a matter of public record. The Senate today voted 34-0 in favor of the bill to release only names and ZIP codes. Full addresses are currently public information.

Who you gonna trust? Not GOP politicans on health care

Gov. Asa Hutchinson keeps insisting that the Graham-Cassidy Obamacare repeal will be great for Arkansas. Evidence keeps mounting that it will strike the state (meaning Arkansas human beings) a devasting blow.

Auditor Lea caught not telling the truth

State Auditor Andrea Lea, who began her tenure in statewide office with a degree of competence unseen in some other Republican counterparts (think Treasurer Dennis Milligan particularly), is becoming more deeply mired in a political scandal.

Sabin's subterfuge in the race for mayor has roots in rigged city government

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that an ethics complaint has been filed saying that the exploratory committee Rep. Warwick Sabin created to prepare for a run for Little Rock mayor was a subterfuge to avoid the city ordinance that doesn't allow campaign fundraising to begin until five months before the November 2018 election.Of course it is.

Another Republican miracle-working governor

Great piece in Washington Post on the budget crisis in Louisiana. Big tax cuts and corporate welfare will do that to a state, particularly to a state whose previous governor, Republican Bobby Jindal, refused to join the Obamacare-funded Medicaid expansion. There's a lesson there for Arkansas.

ASU to reap $3.69 million from estate of Jim and Wanda Lee Vaughn

Arkansas State University announced today plans for spending an expected $3.69 million gift in the final distribution of the estate of Jim and Wanda Lee Vaughn, who died in 2013 and 2015 respectively.
Bad health care bill, again

Wait! Postpone tax reform and everything else for a while longer because the Senate is going to try to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act one more time before September ends and while it can do it with the votes of only 50 senators.
Sex on campus

Look, the Great Campus Rape Crisis was mainly hype all along. What Vice President Joe Biden described as an epidemic of sexual violence sweeping American college campuses in 2011 was vastly overstated.
