Arkansas House and Senate Democrats have filed a bill that would raise Arkansas's pitiful starting salary for public school teachers and give all teachers a $10,000 raise.
“It has taken only one week for the Republican Party to show their priorities are not on improving teacher pay, addressing criminal justice, or restoring reproductive choice for Arkansans, but on juvenile, divisive bills about drag shows that will do absolutely nothing to improve the quality of life for Arkansans,” DPA Chair Grant Tennille said.
Pressure on Monte Hodges to drop his congressional bid over a decades-old abuse allegation that never resulted in any charges raises tough questions for Arkansas Democrats.
