LITTLE ROCK – The state Department of Finance and Administration has published new income tax withholding tables. That’s good news for 1.1 million Arkansas taxpayers, because it means they will take home more money on their next paycheck.
I said it before, and I’ll say it again…An extremist plan has been released and it is catching a lot of attention: Project 2025. Rural Arkansans’ rights are certainly on the chopping block with Project 2025.
Events change, sometimes quickly, others take a bit of time. I remember a certain day that my youngest son, Chris, went up to our mountain property when he was about 6 years old. I had an old Caterpillar up there and I worked on it most of the day, while he played midst the boulders and rocks with his X-Men. As we returned home that afternoon coming down off the very steep four-wheel drive section of the road, a herd of deer came out of the forest and casually worked their way by us. We finished our descent and went home. I had worked the entire day in early March in a t-shirt, it was so very warm. About 9 P.M. our local Denver station announced that there was a high chance of snow for the evening. I stepped outside, and big white flakes were coming down in bucketfuls (we were about 70 miles north of Denver)! In the next 36 hours we received 48” of snow, taking out whole sections of power poles, closing highways for miles and snowing people into their cabins. Certainly not what the morning would have made you think.

Applying for a job can be simultaneously nerve-racking and exciting. If you’re lucky enough to be called in for an interview, you want to put your best foot forward. You want to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise concerning the position to the best of your ability. Your resume should detail your accomplishments. Charm is a good instrument to have in your toolbelt of skills to open the door, but after 10-15 minutes you better know a little something about the position and be able to express your abilities. You have to be able to answer hard hitting questions asked during an interview. And while you don’t have to possess 100% of the job’s requirements in order to apply, you should have 75% at the very minimum, especially if the job you’re applying for is President of the United States.
