Local 4-H H Attend Teen Leadership /Citizenship Workshop With Arkansas Farm Bureau

With the help of Arkansas Farm Bureau and UACES Development Associate, Jackson Alexander, Lonoke and Prairie County 4-H members discovered what it means to be good citizens during a recent T e e n Leadership/Citizenship workshop.

4-H'ers learned about the legislative process, experienced what it's like to participate in a federal election, developed their own definition of citizenship, and participated in candid discussions about politics, policy, and public influence.

Arkansas Farm Bureau guided the 4-

H’ers through the Congressional Insight simulation activity, where teens divided into two teams, and each team was assigned a freshman congressman or congresswomen in the U.S. House of Representatives. Teens learned the importance of setting goals, listening to staff members, staying in touch with their constituencies, planning a budget, working with the media, and what affects the legislative decisions made by our lawmakers. At the end of the simulation, each team ran for re-election with one team winning their race and the

other losing by a small margin.

“This Congressional Insight simulation really taught our teens, through hands-on experience, what affects the legislative decisions our congressmen make.

It was a very effective process that provided them with a better understanding of the environment in which legislators work.

Special thanks to Prairie County Farm Bureau for sponsoring this workshop,” said Shea Wilson,County Extension AgentFCS/4-H. For more information about how you can get involved in 4-H, con-

U.S. Senator John Boozman Protecting the Second Amendment Ensuring Military Readiness Arkansas has a proud history of supporting our military. From the brave men and women who serve to the companies in our state that contribute to our nation’s defense, as well as the military installations that are part of our communities, Arkansas will continue to play a vital role in our national security.

For eight years, Congress has funded the government by passing continuing resolutions instead of approving the 12 appropriations bills. This eliminates our ability to rein in spending because it maintains current funding levels for inefficient programs. This chronic budget uncertainty makes it difficult on military planning and purchases.

In December, Congress approved the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which included modernizing the C-130 aircraft fleet. Little Rock Air Force Base (LRAFB) is home to the C-130 training unit and this modernization ensures the mission at LRAFB will continue to support our defense.

In recent days, we’ve seen news reports of billions of dollars in wasteful spending by the Pentagon. The ongoing funding failures and the impact of using continuing resolutions as a regular part of the appropriations process contributes to the misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Passage of NDAA is vital to ensuring that our men and women in uniform have the tools they need to protect our national security. That’s only a first step. Congress must also do a better job of deciding how taxpayer dollars are spent so our military leaders can plan for the future. This begins with returning to regular order and passing individual appropriations bills.

The 2017 Regular Session begins in less than a month. An effective legislative session depends on much more than the context of the bills.

A great deal depends upon all members understanding the legislative rules, procedures, traditions, and resources.

This is why for last 80 years, the House has hosted and conducted a legislative institute. We have just completed the five day program.

The institute is an effort

by House leadership and staff to help ensure that new members can more quickly become effective participants in the legislative process and returning members may broaden their knowledge of procedure.

Programs on the agenda include everything from parliamentary procedure to how to be prepared for emergencies in our

As a leader of the Senate Air Force Caucus, I recently met with General David Goldfein, Chief of Staff of the Air Force. He discussed the trouble continuing resolutions create for our military’s preparation efforts.

Enduring budget uncertainties makes it difficult for the military to plan and inevitably leads to inefficient spending.

on military readiness.

The most b a s i c responsibility of Congress is to determine how we spend hardearned taxpayer dollars.

This is a responsibility that my colleagues and I on the Senate Appropriations Committee take seriously.

Debating and passing these annual bills provides accountability. It’s an important part of setting priorities, making choices and reducing waste. This year the committee passed all of the appropriations bills.

Unfortunately Senate Democrats prevented my colleagues and me from considering most of these bills on the Senate floor.

The recent trend of continuing resolutions must stop. Approving appropriations bills would return the Senate to regular order and provide a framework for spending so the American people can see where their hardearned money is going. I look forward to hitting the ground with my appropriations committee colleagues next Congress to accomplish this task.

I am concerned about the adverse impact this has

districts. This week has also served as a time to personally know more about our colleagues who will be serving with us for the next two years.

After learning more about every member this week, we now know the 91st General Assembly represents a broad spectrum of ages, careers, and life experiences.

As with years past, several of our members have a background in agriculture. There are 14 members of the 91st who are either retired farmers or currently farming.

This General Assembly will include 11 attorneys, 7 engineers, and 7 members who are either teaching now or are retired educators.

The body also includes real estate agents, general contractors, auto dealers, medical profes-

sionals, and pastors, just to name a few.

Ages of the 91st General Assembly range from 25 to 79. We have 5 members who are considered Millennials.

A large portion of the body has had previous experience in public service with 10 members having served on a school board, 12 serving on a municipal or city board, and 17 previously serving terms in county government.

And 16% of the upcoming membership has served in the armed forces.

The one thing every member will have in common is that they represent an equal number of Arkansans. The training this week will help to ensure you are represented well over the next 2 years.

From Attorney General Leslie Rutledge LITTLE ROCK – It is exciting to purchase that new toy a child in your life wants or give that perfect gift a relative needs, but sometimes it can be difficult to settle on the right gift. Many Arkansans turn to gift cards as the perfect item for the Christmas season, and it is important to know that gift card recipients have certain protections that have been put in place by both the federal government and the State of Arkansas.

Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge issued today’s consumer alert to ensure gift card recipients know the protections that are currently in place to guard them from being taken advantage of and to ensure they are able to use the gift card for its intended purpose.

“Gift cards are popular because they allow recipients to get exactly what they want from a retailer or restaurant,” said Attorney General Rutledge. “It is important for all Arkansans to know and understand the protections they are granted when they receive a gift card this holiday season.”

Attorney General Rutledge released the following list of State and federal protections under State law and federal rules.

A gift card cannot expire for at least five years from the date the card was purchased or from the last date any additional money was loaded onto the card. If the expiration dates listed on the card is earlier than these dates, the money can be transferred to a replacement card at no cost.

Inactivity fees can be charged only when a card has not been used for at least one year.

The expiration date must be clearly disclosed on the card.

Fees must be clearly disclosed on the card or its packaging.

The Arkansas Fair Gift Card Act applies not only to gift cards but also gift certificates and prepaid cards but does not apply to loyalty reward program gift cards. The federal rules only apply to the plastic swipe cards, which usually contain a magnetic strip and look

similar to a credit or debit card.

If there is a problem with a gift card, contact the company that issued the card. If the problem cannot be resolved at that level, file a complaint with the Attorney General’s office or the Federal Trade Commission.

For more information about consumer-related issues, contact the Arkansas Attorney General’s office at (800) 482-8982 or consumer@ArkansasAG.g ov or visit ArkansasAG.gov or facebook.com/AGLeslieRutled ge.
