LITTLE ROCK (KATV) Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson on Thursday declared a public health emergency amid a surge in COVID-19 cases and announced a special legislative session to change a law that prevents public schools from requiring masks.
Hutchinson said the declaration will allow the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management to seek staffing assistance from health workers outside the state. It also eases the process for retired health workers to re-enter the workforce and for medical students to become licensed.

Yep. Dominoes are going to fall. My bet is full lockdown for more than half of the country by next Friday (6 Aug)
UGH, hopefully Charmin factories are geared up.
Say no to RINO Asa on Emergency powers.
I wonder how many illegals from the border were secretly bussed and or flown into AK. Red states are getting more than there share.
Sounds like a deal with the devil to me.
Asa Hutchinson is a truly mediocre human being and a RINO, but then I repeat myself.
Are people from outside spreading COVID is certainly something that people in Australia have asked with certain situations like thousands being allowed into their country from outside for business, pleasure even Caitlyn Jenner to do a reality tv show.
Covid Deaths are at an all-time low
Time to panic
It looks like the GOPe Republicans in Arkansas are tired of being in public office.
Bear Staters need to rise up and put pressure on their legislators to reject the proposed amendment.
Fortunately Asa is term limited next election.
Shutting down California for another year would be great for me, it was great last year. I’m selfish and my business requires a lot of driving throughout SoCAl and traffic is back to about 80-85% of what it was, which was Terrible, just in the Last Month!
Dammmm! If only there were some sort of, you know, vaccine or something. Sighhhh.
Hopefully lots of them were sent there and dropped off in the tundra. But we are talking about AR and they are unfortunately getting hit with them.
My daughter works in an ER department. There were only a couple weeks where they were full of Covid. 1 week in April and 1 week in November. The rest of the time they were overstaffed, or treating mentally ill people. We are being played…
More than their share of COVID infected illegals - is there a (D) in there someplace causing this?
You bet. No amount of emails or phone calls to reps are going to fix it either.
So he’s basically a lame duck, no he is vying like one. What a disappointment. I recall when he was a rising star in the gop.
