Governor plans to decline $89 million in federal rental help funds

by Steve Brawner (BRAWNERSTEVE@MAC.COM)

Gov. Asa Hutchinson said Friday (April 22) that he will seek to decline roughly $89 million in federal rental assistance funds.

In other business, he said the Department of Finance and Administration has officially determined the state will have a $1 billion surplus by June 30. That’s up from the previous estimate of $600 million.

Instead, Arkansas is requesting 39% of that amount, or about $57 million.
