On December 1, 2017, at 5 p.m., Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families and KABF 88.3 aired the thirty-sixth episode of “Speak Up Arkansas,” a talk radio show dedicated to covering issues like health care, education, juvenile justice, the state budget, family and economic security, and more.
Our December show focused on a little known task force that could have a big impact on the state- Arkansas Tax Reform and Relief Task Force. Guests Ellie Wheeler, Senior Policy Analyst at Arkansas Advocates, Neil Sealy, Arkansas Community Organization, and Rev. Steve Copley, Faith Voices Arkansas discussed the potential tax policy changes the group of state legislators could propose and the impact those proposals could have. We also got an update of the federal tax reform debate.
