Halter to China via El Dorado

Lieutenant Governor Bill Halter will represent Arkansas at a global economic summit in Tianjin, China beginning Sunday. First, though, he'll be the guest speaker when the El Dorado Lions Club meets at noon tomorrow. Halter has criss-crossed the state advocating his Hope for Arkansas lottery plan, and tomorrow will mark his first public event since a lawsuit was filed on Friday seeking to remove the lottery proposal from the November ballot.
