FOR Referred Question No. 1

Arkansas voters have the decision in November on whether to give the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission the authority to issue up to $300 million in bonds for a variety of water, sewer, and waste disposal projects. Its passage will give local governments readily available money without raising taxes to fund projects that accompany every expansion project. Its failure would mean that we would lose roughly $14-$20 million per year in federal matching dollars from the Clean Water and Drinking Water Revolving Loan Funds. Voting for this will give all of us access to safe, clean drinking water. The governor is supportive of the measure and will soon be encouraging Arkansans to support this effort.
