Maybe it is time for Arkansas to raise taxes just a little bit to cover these emergencies instead of having the rest of the nation bail them out?

Gov. Sanders wants to know how much you like her before you can be on a state board or commission

Looking to serve your state in some official capacity? First, kiss the ring.

The application form you must fill out to be considered for a post on state boards and commissions includes this question: “What is an accomplishment of the Governor’s that you admire the most?”

You get 500 words to drone on about that, but only 250 words to describe the book that defines your life.

Sarah Sanders Asks Applicants What Accomplishment They Admire Most About Her
Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is asking applicants to serve on state boards and commissions to write explanations of what they admire about her leadership most, reported the Arkansas Times on Tuesday.

"Looking to serve your state in some official capacity? First, kiss the ring," wrote Austin Bailey. "The application form you must fill out to be considered for a post on state boards and commissions includes this question: 'What is an accomplishment of the Governor’s that you admire the most?'"

As Bailey noted, this portion of the questionnaire allows a full 500 words — which is twice the length of the question, "What book have you read that would best define your life and why?"

This questionnaire was first flagged by Nate Bell, a former Republican member of the Arkansas Legislature who now characterizes himself as a "politically homeless conservatarian" and compared Sanders' hiring practices to that of a "banana republic."

Sanders, who previously served as former President Donald Trump's White House Press Secretary and emerged back onto the national stage with a response to President Joe Biden's State of the Union Address described by one analyst as "dystopian," has been a frequent source of controversy.

She recently signed a measure in Arkansas to turbocharge school privatization while imposing a version of Florida's infamous "Don't Say Gay" law in classrooms.

Good thing Huckabee has the feds to pay for Arkansas' disaster relief.

Arkansas Gov. Sanders signs $124 million tax cut into law
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Monday signed into law a measure cutting individual and corporate income taxes in Arkansas by $124 million a year.

Sanders signed the bill she and legislative leaders backed that will cut the top individual income tax rate to 4.7% from 4.9%. The law also cuts the top corporate income tax rate to 5.1% from 5.3%.

State finance officials said that under the proposal, 1.1 million taxpayers who make more than $24,300 a year will receive a cut. Sanders, who took office in January, has called for phasing out the state’s income tax. Over the past several years, Sanders’ Republican predecessor, former Gov. Asa Hutchinson, and the majority-GOP Legislature enacted a series of cuts.

Lawmakers last week sent Sanders the tax cut legislation, one of the last remaining items before they wrapped up this year’s legislative session on Friday. The tax cut is projected to cost $186 million in its first year because it will take effect this year, the Department of Finance and Administration said.

Sanders also signed another bill that will cut income taxes for multi-state corporations by phasing out over seven years the “throwback rule.” That rule considers sales of tangible property as being within the state for tax purposes if they’re sold to the federal government or to other states that don’t collect the tax. The legislation will cost $10.6 million in the coming fiscal year and $74 million a year once fully implemented, according to the Department of Finance and Administration.

Politicians should offer to take a similar pay cut to lower their burden upon the tax payers. But, that would just open them to *more* corruption.

First they have to prove there was no consent. The tornado may have assumed Arkansas wanted it to visit because of state's location. After all, it is in Tornado Alley. Huckabee needs to prove this was an attack and that no prior consent was given or inferred to the tornado.

They are being tested, doncha know? I am always stunned that it has never apparently crossed their minds that so much stuff going on could be a punishment.

Honey, you single-handedly give me hope for Arkansas. Just as Sugar does for Mississippi. If there are good women like y’all involved in the affairs of your state, hope endures.
