>> the citizens of AR are some of the poorest, unhealthiest and least educated people in this country. Why that doesn't give you pause is the million dollar question.

It is true, Arkansas has 16% living below the poverty level, and WA has "only" 11%. Of course, the average poor person in Washington has about 5K more debt than an average Arkansan, due to your state's uncontrolled spending (it is far worse if you count unfunded pension liabilities). So, you tell me who is poor?

I could go on but this is getting embarrassing. The truth is AR is penny wise and pound foolish...........it refuses to invest in its people and the above stats show that truth.
