Local Notes
The most popular status update we saw on Facebook last night was, “OK, I felt that one.” And no, it wasn’t national “That’s what she said day.” It was another Oklahoma earthquake that was again felt in Northwest Arkansas.
The polls opened this morning for Arkansas voters to decide whether to renew a $575 million bond program to repair more than 400 miles of interstate highways. Voting continues through 7:30 p.m. tonight.
Who needs 20 kids? The Duggars, duh.
