Constitutional Resolution Passed in Newton County, Ark. Unanimously against Trash Tax 4/2/18!
Congratulations, NEWTON COUNTY!
ALL of your Justices of the Peace (JPs) UNANIMOUSLY voted to pass the Constitutional Resolution tonight! This is WONDERFUL news!
We sincerely thank the Justices of the Peace (JPs) in Newton County for their GOOD VOTES and for supporting this wonderful Constitutional Resolution. You are honorable people of integrity.
Here is the Newton County Resolution as a PDF for you all to read.
This resolution will be up for other counties in northern Arkansas to be voted on SOON!
If you’re not up to speed on this subject, BE SURE to read all 6 parts of the NABORS Landfill boondoggle and the terrible trash tax/”service fee” that was forced upon the residents in Baxter, Boone, Carroll, Marion, Newton, and Searcy Counties in Northern Arkansas (see the links below)… BUT the resolution that was passed in Newton County tonight stands as a Constitutional reminder that Justices of the Peace (JPs) in the quorum (county) courts here in Arkansas have “exclusive original jurisdiction” over those types of matters, according to Article 7, Section 28 of our Arkansas State Constitution:
Article 7, Section 28. County courts – Jurisdiction – Single judge holding court. The County Courts shall have exclusive original jurisdiction in all matters relating to county taxes, roads, bridges, ferries, paupers, bastardy, vagrants, the apprenticeship of minors, the disbursement of money for county purposes, and in every other case that may be necessary to the internal improvement and local concerns of the respective counties. The County Court shall be held by one judge, except in cases otherwise herein provided.
The hyperlinks below will bring you to each of the trash tax/”service fee” articles so far.
