The Arkansas State Senate drew committee assignments, revised a rule, punished a member, and officially selected its new leader on Thursday.
Sen. Bart Hester, R-Cave Springs, who will be a guest on this week’s edition of Talk Business & Politics, was voted in as Senate President Pro Tempore for the 94th Arkansas General Assembly, which begins in January.
“It feels really good to get a vote of confidence from your colleagues. And now it feels pretty heavy to represent them, and hopefully, the Senate will do a great job these next two years,” Hester told TB&P.
