Arkansas Media If not us, who?

Posted By Max Brantley on Wed, Apr 27, 2011 at 8:19 AM

The Democrat-Gazette today reported that University of Arkansas trustees had romanced University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton for the job of president of the UA System and that former Board chair John Ed Anthony had met individually with board members on the presidential search during the UA's trip to the Sugar Bowl. (These meetings were of dubious legality under most interpretations of the Freedom of Information Act, except that of UA counsel. Board members David Pryor and Carl Johnson, now leading a more open search for president, were not in New Orleans then.)

This was April 8's news on the Arkansas Blog. Toot toot.

The Little Rock Board of Directors voted tonight to table for eight weeks an ordinance that homeless advocates say would severely limit the ability of charities to feed homeless people in city parks. Before the ordinance was punted, Vice Mayor Kathy Webb proposed a nine-member commission to study the issue and make recommendations to the board.

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.
