The Arkansas House convenes this morning to select the House speaker for the 87th General Assembly. Rep. Robbie Wills of Conway is the only candidate on the ballot.
I voted absentee last week so that I can speak to the Texarkana Retired Federal Employees Association this morning. I haven't addressed this group in three years, and I'm looking forward to visiting with them again. Of course, they're much more interested in federal legislation, but a lot of changes have taken place in the last three years locally, including the implementation of the Streamlined Sales Tax, so it ought to be a lively event. If you're interested, here are some recent bills they've supported at the federal level:
S. 773: Extend the Premium Conversion Tax Benefit (Warner)
S. 206: Repeal the Government Pension Offset & Windfall Elimination (Feinstein)
H.R. 1110: Extend the Premium Conversion Tax Benefit (Davis)
H.R. 82: Repeal the Government Pension Offset & Windfall Elimination (Berman)
