Today I’d like to talk about the excellent position our state is in to provide additional financial relief for Arkansans. In December, we cut nearly $500 million in taxes which was the largest tax cut in Arkansas history.
Regarding consequences Aesop has a fable that tells the story of two frogs that lived in the same pool of water. During the hot summer, the pool dried up. The frogs who need water to thrive, set out to find another place to live. They passed a deep well full of water. One frog said to the other that they should make this well their new home. The other frog erring on the side of caution, questioned his friend about what they would do if the deep water failed them, and they couldn’t get out of the cavernous well. The moral: Do nothing without a regard to the consequences or as my parents taught me as a child, “Think before you act.”

Today is the first day back to school for some. For our family, our eldest is having her first day of Middle School/High School. That one is hard for me. It is also makes me happy.

Ozark-St. Francis National Forests’ officials are pleased to announce the reopening of Blanchard Springs Caverns on August 18, 2022, after a two-year closure. Blanchard Springs Caverns is an Arkansas treasure and often considered the premier guided “living” cave system open for public tour in the National Forest System. Multiple factors contributed to the lengthy closure of the Caverns, including ongoing facility repairs and safety mitigation measures related to the pandemic. Safety and the desire to provide a quality visitor experience remain the top priorities for Forests and Caverns staff. Ozark-St. Francis National Forests’ Recreation Staff Officer, Amy Burt, offers information on some of the changes visitors can expect upon reopening. “Tickets must be prepurchased through www.recreation.gov. Advanced ticketing for tours will allow the Caverns to adequately staff guided tours on the Dripstone Trail and provide a more enhanced visitor experience. Tours will be available Thursdays-Mondays and closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.”
