• Arkansas Advocate: Arkansas House Speaker -- fight over Franklin County prison unlikely to come up during fiscal session (magnoliareporter.com) — Cabot residents may want to watch how their hometown lawmaker, House Speaker Brian Evans, is approaching big statewide decisions on prisons, taxes, schools, and Medicaid in the upcoming fiscal and likely special sessions. He says a new Franklin County prison is needed but unlikely to dominate the agenda, while tax cuts, LEARNS Act funding, Medicaid oversight, and changes at Arkansas public television are all on the table.
