Quick thread:.
Please stop comparing #AlligatorAlcatraz to Nazi concentration camps when the U.S. gov has built concentration camps before.🧵. When Cherokees refused to leave our homeland, the army built 25 open air stockades. On May 23, 1838, 7,000 soldiers and militiamen rounded every one up.

The 2013 Regular Sessions is most often remembered as the session when Arkansas lawmakers voted to extend Medicaid—but they also signed off on issuing bonds to help Big River Steel, a massive economic development project at the time.

In a county dubbed the “land of steel,” residents face poverty and housing woes.

Grant also furthered the work of reducing the party's filing fees, something I pushed for years (which is also a bit of a sore point with many in the party). I'm thankful for that, too. I hope the party professionalizes the role. Ain't nobody oughta be doing it for free. (3/3).

Grant helped the party get its house in order, and he oversaw the first election in two decades that saw Democrats add to their numbers in the legislature. I'm forever grateful he did the hard work and hung in there for so long. (2/3).

I've never been the best Democrat when it comes to the party itself (just ask most any former chair who served during my time in politics), but we're gonna miss Grant. He's worked himself to the bone to put the party in its best post-majority shape. (1/3).

True, but only because I didn’t want to say Northwest Arkansas Republicans wanted to deny a first-term Democrat a win on a good bill because she beat a Republican incumbent and serves a competitive district. So I thought I’d just blame Kenny.
Giving the chamber to much credit bro.

Honestly, my last-ever bill dying on the House floor at the hands of the state chamber is probably how my legislative career should end. Feels right.

There have been longer and crazier. But yes.
@GregLeding I don’t know if I’m just following more closely this year, but this has been endless and crazy!.

The fact that House State Agencies is meeting at almost 9:00p on the very last night of session is a great reason to bring back the bill-filing deadline.

People keep asking what I’m gonna do once my term ends, and I’m pretty sure I’ll still be just standing in House Public Health, waiting to run a bill.

if we moved the candidate filing period to the week the legislature leaves town we’d never have a single lawmaker file for re-election what do you say should we try it.

Here’s how to look up the status of a bill:. – Go to – Type the bill number (eg, SB209) in the “Search for bills” search bar.
