Pine Street gets new name - Arkadelphia, AR - Arkadelphia Siftings Herald

In regards to naming something in Arkadelphia after Dr. Martin Luther King it has always been my personal opinion that naming an overpass after Dr. King was lame. I think he deserved more than that, but for the board of directors to pass this without input from the citizens of Arkadelphia, as well as the business owners located on Pine Street is unacceptable. It appears there are some members of the Arkadelphia Board of Directors that have forgotten that they answer to the citizens of Arkadelpia, not the other way around.

Below the link to the Siftings Herald article is a link containing contact and term of office information for the Arkadelphia Board of Directors. For those who live in Ward 1 (Brenda Hagerich's ward) and Ward 4 (Anne Sanders' ward) the terms for these directors ends on December 31, 2010. I would encourage those who live in these wards to locate someone to replace these two directors. For those who live in Ward 2 and Ward 3 I encourage you to contact Mr. Harris and Mrs. Baldwin and remind them that they serve you and their only purpose on the board is to reflect your voice. Unfortunately their terms do not end until 12/31/2012. We should thank Mr. Hollingshead and Mr. Calhoun the only directors on the board that seem to value the voice of the people.
