Asa Hutchinson Moving GOP to left; Donald Trump Moving It To The Right
No wonder "Talk Business" survey indicates our governor is polling well among Democrats.
by Debbie Pelley, Contributing Author: While the national GOP is moving to the right with Trump, GOP Governor Asa Hutchinson is moving Arkansas GOP to the left. The latest good Gun Rights bill, HB1249, that Governor Hutchinson is trying to kill by a hostile amendment, was originally supported by the NRA. But Senator Jeremy Hutchinson, the governor's nephew, proposed a hostile amendment that required at least 16 hours of additional active shooter training, as well as numerous added restrictions. NRA is now asking Arkansans to "Urge Your Lawmakers to Fix Flawed Campus carry Bill," HB1249.
Governor Hutchinson is also sending warnings about another conservative bill filed last week addressing "gender identity and bathroom privileges" which a lawmaker said would require people to use public restrooms consistent with the gender on their birth certificates. According to Talk Business, Hutchinson is warning that "such a measure isn't needed and could subject the state to widespread backlash and boycotts."
Recently, the Arkansas Times, that bastion of liberalism, gleefully reported Governor Hutchinson's quotes in their article entitled, "Governor says bills targeting Sharia law and sanctuary campuses are unnecessary." That article was written in regard to HB1041and HB1042 and included quotes by the Governor that supported their statement.
The governor's two nephews, Senators Jeremy Hutchinson and Jim Hendren, are great assets for accomplishing the governor's agenda. Most of the time, noting the way these nephews vote indicates whether the governor is for a bill or opposed to it.
No wonder Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College survey says our governor is polling well among Democrats.
Documentation:
1.HB1249 history: listing amendments.
2. NRA message to Arkansas voters. and a description of the amendments, etc.
3. AP DeMillo article on the bathroom bill Jonesboro Sun Feb. 20, 2017 A-4 Andrew DeMillo "'Bathroom bill' could upend Arkansas session"
4. Arkansas Times article "Governor says bills targeting Sharia law and 'sanctuary campuses' are unnecessary."
5. Talk Business & Politics-Hendrix College survey saying Hutchinson is polling well with Democrats. "Poll: Trump popularity unchanged with Arkansas voters, Hutchinson job approval solid"
