Ozarks At Large

A proposed bill by a local state lawmaker would allow certain people to carry concealed firearms on the state’s college campuses. That bill heads to the House Committee on Education in the Arkansas legislature. But, as Timothy Dennis reports, proponents and opponents of the issue have plenty to say about the bill.

A recent bill in the Arkansas legislature would reward state employees who report waste or inefficiency with state money, and lawmakers speak out on a recently released audit of the state's Medicaid system. And, smaller beef cattle herds in the state caused by last year's drought may result in higher beef prices at the grocery store.
