Weekend politicking

I left my Nikon at the Capitol in Little Rock, so my iPhone camera will have to suffice for now. Weekends are the time to catch back up in the district during session*, and last night's venue was the Bradley Elementary cafeteria, where we gathered to eat catfish and raise money for the River Bend Volunteer Fire Department. Former Rep. Bruce Maloch auctioneered the event.

The newly released census data shows that Lafayette County lost the equivalent of the town of Bradley (pop. 550) over the last decade.

*- Disclosure: For the first four weeks of the session, I traveled back and forth to my district in an effort to be home at night to attend events. Well, four hours on the road daily became quite an undertaking, and an apartment came open in Capitol Hill, so I have a new address in LR where I spend three nights a week.
