Committee action on HB1292, “To Prohibit Illegal Aliens From Receiving Any State Benefit Except In Instances Of Emergency Or When Life-Saving Measures Are Required” has been postponed until February 23, 10 a.m., in the House State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee, Room 151.
Recently, Secure Arkansas has been under siege from local Arkansas newspapers. I use the term “newspaper” loosely, as apparently real journalism no longer exists in the State. Perhaps instead of “newspaper,” they should be referred to as the “Arkansas leader in yellow-journalism,” since they seem to enjoy stating opinion as fact so much. This past week, the Arkansas Times proved they earned the above title when they published an article written by Gerard Mathews titled, “The political fringe finds a voice in Arkansas.” [1] If this is the best writer the Arkansas Times has on staff, then they have more important issues to deal with than the “political fringe.”
