Talk about spin masters galore... This entire week thus far has been filled with "double speak," misunderstandings and "what you heard is not exactly what I meant." However, we will deal with trying to sort it all out over the next few post, but for now let's catch up with what' really going on here, there and a bit of everywhere...
Capitol
Watch: Earlier this year, while the brouhaha over Senate Bill 959 was taking center stage, there was another bill (HB 2615) that was passed instituting the Arkansas HIV-AIDS Minority Task force sponsored by Willie Hardy (District 5). This legislature was created to address issues of the disease within the minority community with a board to be appointed by Gov. Beebe. After contacting the Gov's office and a lengthy wait for the info, we were contacted (9/12) by "Paco" an aide whom informed us that nominees were being sought and would be announced soon. However, to submit an online application it would have to be filed by, 9/14/07. More info can be found at http://www.arkansas.gov/ Hopefully, when the appointments are ready, maybe we can get them to you hot off the presss.
