Hutchinson: Corporations ‘Worried About The Image Of Our State’
A National Review story published Wednesday highlighted Hutchinson’s late March remark that “major global corporations” in Arkansas are “worried about the image of our state.” Hutchinson made the comments as he discussed Arkansas’ Fairness in Women’s Sports Act, which he signed into law.
“We’re the home of some major global corporations here in Arkansas, they’re certainly worried about the image of our state,” he said. “But we’re trying to send the signal that you can protect conscience, you can protect girls in sports, without being discriminatory, and trying to say ‘we’re not diverse and tolerant of different lifestyles.’ That’s important for us, as a state, and what we have to achieve as a nation.”
Gov Ron DeSantis says people are flocking to Florida because they re sick of draconian lockdowns - as he boasts that home sales are up 22%, taxes are low and schools are open (but ignores fact state has fourth worst COVID death toll in America)
DeSantis told Fox News Tucker Carlson Tonight Tuesday night that Americans are turning to the Sunshine State as a landing pad amid the pandemic
He said it is because Florida does not have draconian lockdowns
His comments come the same day 15,431 new cases of COVID-19 were recorded in the state - marking the second highest day on record for new infections
