State Capitol Week in Review from Senator Terry Rice

LITTLE ROCK – The 2025 legislative session got off to a fast start. By the end of the session’s third day more than 200 bills had been introduced.

In November the governor presented a balanced budget plan for the upcoming fiscal year. The legislature’s Joint Budget Committee has already begun working on a detailed review of every spending request by state agencies, and on a comprehensive new pay plan for state employees proposed by the governor.

During opening ceremonies, the governor outlined a list of legislative priorities that are not budget bills.

She proposed improving access to state-supported institutions of higher education, through a plan called Arkansas ACCESS. If adopted, students will fill out one application and pay a single fee. The student will be able to send that application to every four-year university and two-year college in the state.

Another priority of the governor’s will be to make it easier to fired tenured professors who indoctrinate students instead of educating them. Also, in order to make higher education more affordable, the governor proposes “funding college credits while students are still in high school.” More scholarships will be available for students earning associate’s degrees and certificates that are not designated as a degree.

At the request of the governor, legislators will work on changes to the higher education funding formula.

The governor proposed using revenue from taxes on medical marijuana to pay for a summer program that will help families with children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. Those families typically struggle during summer months because the children are not getting lunch at school.

The governor told legislators that the same source of revenue could be used to make school breakfast completely free.

A related proposal would protect people and businesses from liability if they donate food to hunger relief programs. Restaurants should not have to worry about ending up in court if they donate excess food to a food pantry, she said. Her proposed legislation will be called the Good Neighbor Act.

The governor mentioned her proposal to seek authority from the federal government to require that food stamps be used only for healthy and nutritious food, rather than junk food. Another proposal would encourage schools to purchase food from local farmers and businesses.

Legislators will consider a proposal to ban cell phones in schools throughout the day. Suicide rates among teenagers have risen dramatically and the culprit is clear, the governor said. It is unrestricted access to phones and social media.

A related bill, titled the Social Media Safety Act, would enable parents to sue social media companies in state court.

The governor proposed legislation allowing property owners to more easily evict squatters from their land, by calling their local sheriff.

Expanding access to Medicaid for pregnant women will be considered this year, as will legislation to pay for an additional prison unit.

Timepiece: Replaced by Johnny Cash

By Dr. Curtis Varnell

One of Arkansas’s natives’ sons, Johnny Cash, had his statue placed in the rotunda of the National Capitol in Washington, D.C. From my earliest memories, I can remember his deep voice resonating as he sang about love, prisons, and railroads. World famous, his life resonates with our history and with the state of Arkansas.

Each state is allowed only two statues, the other being the statue of civil rights leader Daisy Bates. Two older statues were removed, those of James Clarke and the statue of U.M. Rose. Relatively unknown today, both of these men played important roles in Arkansas history. James Clarke, a populist Senator and former governor of Arkansas, is best known for his stand on the use of silver currency, his violent temper, support of “white supremacy”, and for wishing to liberate the Philippines from American control. One wonders how and why his statue was ever erected. The other statue, that of U.M. Rose, is an entirely different story. Rose was born in Bradfordsville, Kentucky, on a farm of 300 or 400 acres,[9]: 8 on March 5, 1834, son of Joseph and Nancy Rose. Taught by a tutor, he learned Latin by age five, once stating, “I cannot remember a time I could not read.” His mother died in 1848 and his father a year later. The estate was worth less than the debts so the children were thrown out into the world. Rose survived by taking a job as a clerk at a nearby store. The clerk position did not allow him time to study so he resigned and worked on a farm as a field hand for board and $5 per month. From these humble beginning came one of the foremost and greatest lawyers of the century. Rose eventually was admitted to Transylvania University in Lexington, Kentucky where he was able to complete studies and graduate in six-months-time. In 1853, he moved to Batesville and then into Pulaski County. He was opposed to the succession of Arkansas from the U.S., he took an oath to support the Confederacy and was named state historian. During the war, he was sent to Richmond, Virginia where he copied all names and information about Arkansas Confederate soldiers. Unfortunately, these records were lost in a warehouse file. After the war, he moved into Little Rock and set up what is now known as the Rose Law Firm. He was once offered a position as U.S. Senator but declined stating, “I have no love of political life. I have seen much of it at a distance. I regard it for the most part as a sham and a delusion, and often it is a shame and a disgrace.”

In 1872, he was one of the 75 lawyers who formed the American Bar Association and was president of the organization in 1901-02. He also was active in the formation of the Arkansas state bar association and was chairman of that group. He presented a number of cases before the supreme court of both Arkansas and of the United States. A friend of President Theodore Roosevelt, the president once described him as “the brainiest man I have ever met.” Roosevelt appointed Rose as a delegate to the Second Hague Peace Conference and gave him the status of ambassador of the United States.

In 1913, Rose took a fall in his office and died a few days later. All the state and county offices were closed for the day of his funeral, held at Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock. An extraordinary man, Rose overcame many obstacles including early death of this parents, lack of extensive formal education, and poverty to become one of the foremost legal minds of the 19th century. His legacy, the Rose Law Firm, is one of the most recognized and respected law firm

in the country. In 1915, the Arkansas General Assembly voted to place a marble statue of Rose in Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol. Replacing and updating our state monument is a way of demonstrating change and honoring those of a newer generation but let us not forget the contributions of our ancestors.

“Just Roll with It” Serving up Recipes and Humor

By Sheri Hopkins

Hello everyone! I survived the snow and cooked the whole time I was stuck at home. We had chicken pot pie, roast, carrots, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, mac n’ cheese, breakfast food, popcorn and last but not least, we had snow ice cream.

I talked to my loving son, Jacob, the one that wants me to find a cemetery closer to him, so he doesn’t have to drive all the way out by Jack Creek to the cemetery when they bury me. We talked a while and he said, I can’t believe you didn’t fall in the snow, because every time we have a snow, you fall. I said, “well believe it or not I did not fall.” I am not going to lie, I believe this is the first time I haven’t fell in the snow.

I know I have told y’all about the times I have fell. This particular time it was a big snow and Doug Graves would always pick me up and Janie and I would work at the Mansfield branch, because my boss, Gina, couldn’t make it down her driveway. When it was time for us to get off, Doug’s sister, Glenda, and their daughter, Megan, picked us up from work and it had just snowed, similar to the snow we just had. We all pile in this truck and I am in the front seat. We went to the CV’s and here and there and they took me home. I went to get out of the truck and that was it. One foot down and I slid under the truck and was gone. I could hear them talking, saying, “where is Sheri?…Where could she be?” They finally got out of the truck and were hollering for me and I yelled, “I’m down here!” I was up under that truck. I couldn’t get up and they couldn’t help me up because they were all laughing too hard. It took all of them to finally get me up and on my feet. We have laughed and laughed about that for years.

It doesn’t even have to be snowing for me to fall. I can fall on level ground. One time we were at Silver Dollar City and walking back to the car and we were going across the parking lot and down I went. I mean skinned my knee all. Some nice man that didn’t look like he could lift much, hurried over to held Jacob, help me. Jacob says, “Why did you fall? It was a flat surface!” I said, “I think there was a little lip in the concrete.” He says, “mom there was not a lip in the concrete.” It was worth a shot. I have broken a record not falling in the snow for the first time.

The recipe this week is for comfort food. Good Ole potato soup for these cold days we have to look forward to.

CROCK POT POTATO SOUP
6 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 8 oz. block of cream cheese (softented)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (little extra for the top)
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Add the diced potatoes, onion, chicken broth, garlic powder, black pepper to your crock pot. Stir to combine. Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours or on low 6-7 hours until potatoes are tender. I take the potato masher and mash up some of the potatoes, that’s just how I like it. Add in the cream cheese, shredded cheese, sour cream and bacon. Stir well and let it cook enough till the cream cheese is melted good. Mix well. I always add salt, but I like salt. Dip up a bowl and add some more bacon and green onions on top. You can also serve with cornbread! Enjoy, and have a blessed week, stay warm!

Monday, January 13, kicked off the 2025 Legislative session. Elected lawmakers from every county and district in Arkansas will be at the state Capitol for several weeks working on our behalf.

The following day, Tuesday, January 14, was Meet the Legislators Day, sponsored by Gun Owners of Arkansas. Thanks to the efforts of Gary Epperson, President of Gun Owners of Arkansas (GO-AR), attendees were privileged to see and hear from several lawmakers. Many representatives from different districts around the state took time to stop and answer constituents’ questions.

All of them agree that the 2nd Amendment of the constitution is one of, if not THE most important Amendment. They also promised to fight to uphold the right to defend ourselves and make sure our “right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”.

Gun Owners of Arkansas is an organization that has been fighting tirelessly for several years to keep Arkansas lawmakers aware of pending bills involving gun laws. Epperson vets any bills that may have a negative impact on gun rights and is quick call attention to them. Most of the time they are amended or thrown out before they are even filed.

GO-AR sponsors the Meet the Legislators Day periodically, and it is an excellent opportunity to tour the Capitol and visit elected officials. The public, however, is welcome to visit the Capitol at any time. For information on tours visit Arkansas Secretary of State https://search.app/aMZuPsGKhgBdCw3LA
