Texarkana Chamber hosts legislative forum

The Texarkana Chamber of Commerce hosted a legisltive forum this morning for both Arkansas and Texas legislators. Like Arkansas, Texas is one of the few states currently enjoying a budget surplus, and they're tackling many of the same issues we're facing. Arkansas-specific issues that were discussed include the grocery tax, tort reform, immigration, and infrastructure needs in this area of the Ark-La-Tex.

Update: Here's Wednesday's article in the Texarkana Gazette.

Also in Texarkana today: DPA Chairman David Pryor will hold an early vote rally this afternoon at the Miller County Democratic Party HQ. The event will take place at 5:00 p.m. at 300 State Line Avenue in downtown Texarkana.
