Protecting Arkansas Seniors

The AARP and representatives from the Attorney General's office, the Arkansas Securities Department, the Arkansas State Bank Department, DHS, and the Arkansas Insurance Department held a town hall meeting down here today. Even with the weather, around 100 showed to ask questions and to learn about consumer alerts, securities fraud, medicare and insurance issues, and a discussion on "making good financial decisions." Most of the questions I fielded were on concerns of Medicare/Medicaid cuts and the grocery tax.
