Little Rock has announced public hearings on the budget beginning next week. Since we’ll be deficit spending again (based on regular revenue, not one-time money), I’d suggest saving the $200,000 subsidy Mayor Mark Stodola continues to insist on giving to his traveling buddies/political supporters at the Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce — at a minimum until they comply with the FOI provision in the sham city “services contract.” The Chamber welfare could hire 5-6 police officers.
Should the city give 4 percent raises at every level of employment, including for elected officials and $100,000-plus employees?
What’s being done to get the adult center on 12th Street reopened?
