Arkansas residents across the state continue to recover from last weekend’s massive winter storm. But did you know that during a declared emergency, certain state laws go into effect, to protect you from crooks? The Economic Policy Institute and the AFSCME release a report, Greenwood residents approve a sales tax increase, and more.
On this edition of Ozarks, what happens when snow and ice force a college to re-schedule finals…including putting finals after commencement? We'll talk to Ray Wallace with the University of Arkansas Fort Smith about how an ice storm can create problems with an academic calendar. And coffee isn't just for breakfast anymore…it's also for a canvas. We'll talk to some people making art out of coffee. And a conversation with Devon Powers. She's written about communication, social media and the commentary economy. She spoke on the University of Arkansas campus recently.
