Arkansas requires 75 percent to pass Appropriation Bills. Republicans blocking spending bills Posted by Max Brantley on Tue, Mar 1, 2011 at 3:50 PM I have some calls out, but many House Republicans mounted something of a concerted effort today to stop some spending bills. At least three bills were defeated for failure to achieve the 75 percent vote required for passage of appropriation bills. They provided money for the Crime Lab, the Arkansas History Commission and the Ethics Commission. Needing 75 votes, the bills got, respectively, 65, 53 and 67 votes. Only 53 votes for the History Commission? Nearly all the no votes are Republicans. Not all Republicans are voting no. Six to eight didn't vote, which has the same effect, however. There are a scattering of crossovers. Republican Rep. Davy Carter, for example, voted for the bill. arktimes.com * * *
