rkansas’ 91st General Assembly will convene in early January, and the hallways of the state Capitol will soon house frenzied legislative activity. As this edition of County Lines was planned, it was decided to request opinion columns from leg- islative leadership to give readers a preliminary perspective from senate and house leadership. AAC reached out to Senate Pro Tempore Jonathan Dis- mang, Speaker of the House Jeremy Gillam, Senate
A
and House Majority Leaders Sen. Jim Hendren and Rep. Matthew Pitsch, and Senate and House Minority Leaders Sen. Keith Ingram and Rep. Mi- chael John Gray.
