If a young man with a beard, wearing a t-shirt and blue plastic glasses approaches you on the street and asks “hey, do you like hip hop?’, don’t brush him off, chances are good that it is SmaR-T-Jones, and he’ll probably offer to rap for you.
The Arkansas Senate followed the House's lead in passing a federally backed expansion of the state's Medicaid system, and all that remains is final approval from Washington. The Arkansas Governor's race gets a little more crowded with an official announcement by former Congressman Mike Ross. Arkansas' two Senators give their thoughts on the Gang of Eight proposed immigration reform package. A hearing is held today in Nebraska regarding the Keystone XL pipeline, and a Bentonville group wants to turn Fridays into bike days.
