Room 272, State Capitol Senate Committee on City, County, and Local Affairs
Little Rock, Arkansas

I asked the chair of Senate Education Committee for when In-state Tuition for illegal aliens to come by and speak and was never told when that bill was being heard. In-state Tuition for illegal aliens was passed without any opposition testimony. Pro amnesty activists were given advance notice of the bill.

We need people to show up at these events or at least contact their legislators. Here is a list of Senators in that committee.

Sen. Gary Stubblefield, Chair
