| Thank you for allowing me to serve you!!! |
| here that will help you. Please look around and feel free to make any suggestions to make the site better or on what you might like to see here. I try to blog every day - be sure and check it out. It is www.TeagueSenate.blogspot.com. Click one of the links or there is a button across the top to access the blog. The 87th Arkansas General Assembly will convene on January 12th, 2008. There will be much on the table for discussion in this session. The current economic downturn has not yet impacted Arkansas to the extent that it has most of the country but if it continues nationally it is likely the impact here will worsen. The amendments to our state constitution, especially annual legislative sessions and the lottery will require a lot of careful thought on how they should be implemented. We need to help our teachers and our school districts with additional dollars for health insurance and transportation. The Medicaid program has to have a lot of additional revenues just to continue the benefits currently provided for those already in the program, prisons need more money to open the new facility in Malvern, our senior citizen programs are desperately underfunded and I am committed to helping them find additional funding. The ArKids program needs to be expanded to further reduce the number of uninsured children in the state. Roads, particularly I-49, are an important priority as well as jobs here in Senate District 20. If we can bring in more jobs then our school populations can stop decreasing and can start increasing. I could go on and on but that is enough to demonstrate some of the needs we have in our great state. The above list is not all inclusive but it includes a lot of areas of concern. Please contact me with issues or concerns that are important to you. Many of you have already been in touch with me and I appreciate your emails, letters and calls. I make every effort to answer your contacts the same day. In many ways email is probably the best way to contact me, Larry@TeagueSenate.com. It is very efficient, no “phone tag”. Phone calls and mail are great also - I always enjoy visiting with you. I am very thankful that you have allowed me the opportunity to serve you. Debbie, Larry, Jr, Shelly and I truly appreciate your friendship and support. I am not sure how much time I will have to keep this up to date during the session but I expect to at least keep the blog current. Thank you for visiting – please check back again. |
