As the nation and the world marks one year since the COVID-19 pandemic officially began, Arkansans are remembering the nearly 5,400 residents who have died from the disease since the state saw its first coronavirus case one year ago Thursday.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson joined staff at Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Pine Bluff, where the state’s first coronavirus patient was hospitalized.
“We’ve seen the resilience of Arkansans, we’ve seen the magnitude of the capability of our pharmaceutical industry in being able to produce a vaccine that can… immunize people from this deadly disease,” Hutchinson said.

GOSHEN TOWNSHIP – Trustees Monday night expressed support for a proposed additional sales tax to generate funds for road maintenance.
Trustees passed a resolution in support of the proposed .25 percent additional sales tax for the Mahoning County Engineer’s Office that would generate $8 million. That money would be split evenly between the county and the townships, with $4 million going to the engineer’s office to fix county roadways and $4 million shared among the townships based on road mileage.
Trustee Shawn Mesler said under the proposal, Goshen Township would receive $147,000.
“I think this is a good thing,” Mesler said. “I believe the residents should have a say (in how their tax dollars are spent), and this gives them the vote. If approved, it would allow money for the county to fix county roads in the township and the township to fix our own roads.”
