March 13, 20219:51 am
Arkansas is going to receive $4 billion-plus from the Biden American Rescue plan $1.7 billion for the state; $1 billion for local governments; $1.2 billion for schools, and billions more in direct payments to individuals, child tax credits in the form of cash and added unemployment benefits for nearly 3 million Arkansans.
The individual payments could run the benefits over $7 billion in Arkansas, a state with a $6 billion general revenue budget.

Q: So, when you have been focused on COVID, the Republicans have been talking about immigration. When you were focused on the Voting Rights Act, they were talking about immigration. Today, you are talking about Fight for 15; today, they’re talking about immigration. I m wondering if House Democrats, if you guys why are we not seeing the same thing? Is this a distraction on their part? Is it a mistake for House Democrats to not include immigration elements earlier in the agenda? I m just trying to square how these two parties are talking about such different things as the key issue right now.
