During a press conference on the House steps on Wednesday, February 8, Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders revealed her LEARNS initiative while surrounded by Republican lawmakers. It was the first public look at the governor’s planned reforms for public education, which include a dramatic expansion of the state’s limited voucher program and a repeal of the Teacher Fair Dismissal Act. The press and public were provided a onepage overview of the highlights but no legislation—because there was no legislation filed. And as of this writing Tuesday morning, there’s still no legislation filed. Opponents of vouchers did find things they could support among the reforms, including increases in teacher pay and efforts to improve literacy, but diving into the few details provided, it seems like a number of the components touted at the governor’s press conference already exist in state code. One thing of note about the teacher- pay portion: Republicans bumped their minimum teacher salary to $50,000 to match the minimum pitched by Democratic lawmakers in the RAISE Act (HB1268), legislation Democrats filed more than three weeks ago that’s yet to receive a hearing—and it likely won’t at this point. The appropriation got assigned to the Joint Budget Committee’s Special Language Subcommittee, which has met just once this session. Another thing about pay: We hadn’t heard anything about a raise for classified staff until Democratic lawmakers presented SB149 before the Senate Committee on Education last Wednesday.

A bit about the timeline here: As of this morning, the Senate Education committee is set to hear the legislation at 9:00 AM Wednesday, potentially setting up a vote of the full Senate as early as this Thursday. That puts the bill in the House Committee on Education as early as next Tuesday, with a vote of the f

Celebrating 150 Years of the City of Corning & Clay County in 2023 Early citizens of Corning spoke affectionately of “The Dinkey.” It ran from Corning to the Ferguson and Wheeler Sawmill on Black River original site of Hecht City, later Corning, and shunted box cars in the mill yard for loading to bring the Iron Mountain Mail Line. The Dinkey Depot was at the foot of East Second at the intersection with East Elm.
The relationship between public notices and newspapers goes hand-in hand to protect and inform citizens about changes in their communities and inform them of government actions. Publishing legals in newspapers that are delivered to subscribers and available around cities in news racks makes important information readily available. There are some who would like to end that practice and lessen the likelihood that the public will be notified of important information.
