  1. @ArkansasBlog I probably should have made clearer that casino canvassers are getting the $1; they're not paying signers.
  2. Paid canvassers at Riverfest for the Poker Palace casino amendment. $1 per signature, they say. bit.ly/KIOVIg
  3. The Riverfest line — Sign the ethics petition bit.ly/KIyWdd
  4. @RepMikeRoss I think it's better for congressmen not to negotiate lobbying jobs for themselves while they are representing the public.
  5. @arachels @AJisTweeting You ever eaten out in Benton? Waffle House is up there.
  6. Surgeon General Thompson happy LRPD case settled. NO lawsuit planned. Originally tweet had typo. bit.ly/LzRRuR
  7. Big City Wire scoop. NWA newspapers not making enough money. Expert hired to find "efficiencies." Here comes meat axe. bit.ly/Jw5rNw
  8. @ArkansasBlog It was inaccurate to call deal to end Surgeon General Thompson charges a "plea" bargain. Bargain included no plea.
  9. @lefty_ar good point
  10. Two LR police officers busted in federal pot sting. bit.ly/Lw9hIX
  11. Plea bargain ends case against Surgeon General Joe Thompson. Dismissal in six months if no furher problems. bit.ly/Lw4Duz
  12. @SenatorJKey @duncanbaird Yes, but the commissions shouldn't have been created. Businesses demanded them. Try to end them and see.
  13. @DuncanBaird Amen. And the over-licensing in Arkansas is not a pro-govt. condition. It's a pro-business, anti-competitive condition.
  14. Judge orders new trial in $1 million dollar lottery ticket dispute bit.ly/Lvn8iI
  15. LR bikers do a 'ride-in' to question city priorities on spending projects. bit.ly/Lvn5Dq
  16. Bill Kristol touts Tom Cotton for president. Really? Cotton makes Mitt Romney look charismatic. bit.ly/LvmSQL
  17. @JonathanAthens Ask GOP candidates why Keystone should run roughshod over landowners in Neb. Also where refined oil to be shipped.
  18. @johnbrummett Yes, one "extreme" Democrat -- w/ideology irrelevant to victory -- and lots of xtrem GOPs does not a comparison make,
