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.

It has supposedly deteriorated under four years of state operation. Pine Bluff, recently taken over by the state, also has a waiver request on Thursday's board agenda.

The LR chamber does the public's business. Is it accountable? Blue Hog on the case.
Matt Campbell, lawyer and Blue Hog Report blogger, has sent a Freedom of Information Act request to Jay Chessir, director of the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor Mark Stodola related to the publicity stunt yesterday built around withdrawing from the mayor's rash pronouncement that the city would seek an Amazon HQ2 project even though the city didn't meet the company's criteria.
