Ozarks At Large


Senator Pryor and Congressman Cotton visited acres of idle pipeline in Central Arkansas yesterday, and they both issued renewed calls to approve the Keystone XL. Plus, several roadways in the area are closed, either for bridge inspection or condemnation.


Governor Mike Beebe has joined other governors in a call on Congress to forgo certain cuts to the National Guard. And although three Arkansas counties were issuing marriage certificates this morning to same-sex couples, others were not and instead are waiting on a ruling from the state Supreme Court.
