Roby Brock discusses the president's business to Arkansas, Verizon bringing jobs to the state, and more in his weekly business and political news recap.
After Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Chris Piazza overturned the state’s constitutional ban on same-sex marriage late Friday, dozens of couples rushed to the only courthouse open in the state on Saturday to obtain licenses—in the “Wedding Capital of the South”--Eureka Springs. Jacqueline Froelich was there. (UPDATE: As of 10:45am May 12th, the Carroll County Clerk's office stopped issuing licenses to same-sex couples, until further notice.)
Ahead on this edition of Weekend Ozarks, the duo Still on the Hill talks about their new album, and how Beaver Lake inspired the songs.

Still on the Hill's latest album aims to help educate northwest Arkansas residents about the history of Beaver Lake, and to promote a greater stewardship of the region's largest drinking water reservoir.
