Legislators call for delaying request for $629,000 in federal funds to 8 area agencies on aging

After a handful of Arkansas state lawmakers complained about receiving what they consider to be unfair complaints about cutting funding to area agencies on aging in the state, a legislative panel on Tuesday called for delaying until next month the fate of the state Department of Human Services' request to provide nearly $629,000 in federal American Rescue Plan funds to eight area agencies on aging for the cost of covid-related employees.
