KUAR's Week-In-Review: Faith Summit, Clean Power, Ben Carson & New Supreme Court Justice

Michael Hibblen

On this week's podcast, we discuss Governor Asa Hutchinson's Summit calling on the faithful to help address a lack of foster care beds and the difficulties parolees face in the state. We look at the strategy of state regulators tasked with implementing the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan. We talk about the visit to Little Rock of Dr. Ben Carson, the fourth Republican Presidential candidate to come through Arkansas. And there's a new state Supreme Court Justice in town, who is he? All that and reaction on the state's failure to lure a multi-billion dollar military contract.
