Natalie Kengla @nataliek47.bsky.social · 03/02/2025 Senator King is working hard to get the message to every Arkansan that his public safety plan is bettern than a mega prison that will burden taxpayers. Tell your legislators you want his common sense approach to public safety. 030

When reminded they agreed to be transparent, Thomas Burns, inside counsel for the BOC, said "While we do, (want to be transparent), this isn't a public meeting today". In a government building. 020

Reposted by Natalie KenglaGreg Leding @gregleding.bsky.social · 07/12/2024This is important: Franklin County folks aren’t necessarily opposed to building a new prison or even building it in Franklin County; they’re upset over the state selecting a site without any local input. #ARpx (1/2) 1174
Reposted by Natalie KenglaGreg Leding @gregleding.bsky.social · 07/12/2024As I said during Friday’s hearing, it was one thing for our state not to seek input from local residents in Franklin County and another thing entirely for the state to not even consult the elected officials who serve Franklin County. Senator Stubblefield called it “un-American.” #ARpx (2/2) 062

Natalie Kengla @nataliek47.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Something doesn't add up. The site selection for the proposed prison continues to baffle me. We know the growth is following I-49. Why would they not logically consider that area for this? There is literally nothing ideal about Mill Creek Mountain for this prison. #FranklinCountyStrong 020
