Arkansas Attorney General Files Motion to End Racially Segregated Judicial Districts

Arkansas Attorney General Files Motion to End Racially Segregated Judicial Districts

Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin has filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas to terminate a consent decree in the case of Hunt v. Arkansas. This decree, established over 35 years ago when Bill Clinton was Governor, created judicial districts based on race. Attorney General Griffin argues that this decree unconstitutionally segregates Arkansas voters by race, asserting that such divisions are wrong, premised on racial stereotypes, and violate equal protection mandates. He stated that recent Supreme Court cases have clarified the unconstitutional nature of this consent decree, prompting his office to seek its prompt termination. Griffin emphasized that government institutions, whether judicial districts or schools, should not categorize individuals based on their skin color.

Fort Smith Officials Break Ground on $23.2 Million Water Transmission Line Expansion

Fort Smith Officials Break Ground on $23.2 Million Water Transmission Line Expansion

State and local officials in Fort Smith, Arkansas, including Mayor George McGill and U.S. Sen. John Boozman, have broken ground on the second phase of a five-phase water transmission line project. This phase, costing $23.2 million, will add six miles of 48-inch water lines, continuing the construction toward Fort Smith from the Lake Fort Smith Water Treatment Plant in Mountainburg. U.S. Sen. John Boozman played a crucial role in securing $12 million in federal funding for this initiative, with Fort Smith contributing the remaining $11.2 million in matching funds. The overall project aims to enhance water service reliability and increase delivery capacity by up to 30 million gallons per day once completed. Officials present, such as Curry Jones, deputy director of the Environmental Protection Agency's water division of Region 6, emphasized the importance of robust water infrastructure, especially given the age of Fort Smith's current system.
