I joined the panel on AETN’s Arkansas Week today with the key topic being the proposed budget from Gov. Asa Hutchinson which will be considered by legislators in the session that begins in January. In includes tax cuts that will largely benefit the state’s top earners, but Hutchinson said would also help the state as a whole by drawing more businesses, residents and investments. We also discussed the rising number of people being dropped from the state’s Medicaid expansion program for not meeting the recently-enacted work requirement.
