Wait. What? Huckafuck’s education guru was caught up in a bidding scandal in Florida before coming to Arkansas. And now Arkansas has a voucher vendor bidding scandal. Weird.

Current happenings at the Capitol are a splendid example of why government should conduct public business in public and not try to spring things on people. Clearly the FOI Bill had the votes to pass — until the public got a look at it.

Without further adieu, here's the full video of Sen. Bart Hester melting down on members of the public b/c they had the audacity to participate in their democracy. #arpx #arleg #FOIA youtube.com/watch?v=SAI-qKgk…

Have you contacted your senator and representative yet? Made plans to testify at the Capitol? Read the anti FOI bill we’re alerting people about: arkleg.state.ar.us/Bills/Det… The bill would add the following exemptions:

The #Arkansas #FOIA law is one of the strongest in the country. It is one of the things we do better than almost any other state. We may disagree on a lot of things, but Arkansans, across the political spectrum, care about gov’t transparency. I love that about this state. #arleg – at Johnson, AR

Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller signing the Arkansas FOIA into law on February 14, 1967. A historic day that brought sunshine to Arkansas government. Let’s not change that today. ☀️#56yearsofsunshine

Watch this segment by @AliVelshi! He does an excellent job linking the racist segregation the Little Rock Nine faced under Governor Faubus to the shameful education policies of Sarah Sanders. She’s recreating the very history she doesn’t want your children to learn in school.

#Arkansas With all the love in my heart, I want to point something out: We only win against authoritarian rule and oppression from leaders trying to attack educators, public education, our students, and our community if we stand STRONG together in the face of adversity. 1/

As mom to a child w/ 22q deletion who has lost her ARKids insurance, i beg to differ. I got warning letters for a year, but I followed procedure. My daughter is in bad need of glasses & we've had to cancel her yearly physical. I emailed an appeal, but have heard NOTHING. #arpx
Replying to @alexahenning
DHS has spent more than a year messaging to beneficiaries about these redeterminations with a special emphasis on reaching families with children covered by Medicaid. This process is continuing to ensure that those who are eligible and truly need Medicaid remain covered by it.
