Summers. I've never been to Benton County but I read the paper. I know that the voters of Benton County have voted down local tax increases 3 times in the last 5 years. Those increases were for things like local schools and roads. If the voters up there won't approve taxes for local roads and schools why would they approve taxes for the bureaucracy in Little Rock? Rep. Summers, it looks like you're only going to get to serve one term. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. I’m with Bryce on this one, Rep. Summers.

Sadly, there is no such thing as a fiscally conservative Democrat in Arkansas. In just a little over 2 years Beebe and the Democrats have raised the severance tax, raised the tobacco tax and now they've raised the milk tax. The truth of the matter is that the Democrats simply believe they ought to be able to take as much of your money as they want whenever they want it. I'm ashamed of our government today.
