$9 million remaining in alternative fuels fund draws a crowd
When the governor announced yesterday that $9 million remaining in an unspent fund designated for an alternative fuels program should be used for the dairy stabilization fund, folks started coming out of the woodwork to look for crumbs. That alternative fuels fund was transferred in the last session from the Real Estate Transfer Tax (NCRC), which traditionally funds projects dealing with natural and cultural resources.

The vulture photo is a nice touch! Thanks for remembering where this money came from - here's hoping some of it get to the arts organizations who contribute so much to the quality of life in AR, and to the artists and musicians who comprise the core of Arkansas's Creative work force!
I'm with you. I think NCRC money should be (at least partially) restored and spent on our underfunded natural and cultural resources.
