Meeting will come to order. Today we will consider we will continue our consideration of the chairmans mark for the tax cuts and jobs act. Last night, as promised, we delivered to members a modification that we will incorporate into the mark this morning.

I want to thank my fellow committee members. We were able to include a number of their amendments in the modification and the mark, and well be i think the mark will be better for it. From the out set of this process, producing this legislation has been a group effort, as i have been joined and more than ably assisted by the majority members of the committee. I want to thank them and their staffs for the hours, days, and weeks of hard
JONESBORO â After city engineers made revisions to reduce the cost, the Jonesboro City Council on Tuesday approved a change in a construction contract for the cityâs shooting sports complex.
Bill Campbell, the cityâs communications director, said the engineers eliminated an attached pavilion between the two restroom buildings, used a less expensive air cooling system and made other cost-cutting measures, to match the quality of similar buildings at Joe Mack Campbell Park.
