     An Arkansas State Senator will be the guest speaker at a local women’s club.

     State Senator Jon Woods (R) will meet with the Twin Lakes Republican Women’s Club to discuss issue 3. The issue encourages businesses to come to Arkansas while removing some of the current regulations which have hampered growth in the past.

     Issue 3 considers, removing the cap of state-issued bonds for economic super projects, which is currently 5 percent of the state’s revenue; allowing communities to borrow money for economic development through voter-approved bonds; and allowing cities to pay chambers of commerce for economic development services.

     Supporters say, the provisions will give economic developers the tools they need to attract or retain businesses in Arkansas.

     Opposition says, by removing the limit on bonds, Arkansas could find itself holding some bad debt.

     The Twin Lakes Republican Women’s Club will host Senator Woods at the Mountain Home Elks Club, located at 101 Elks Way in Mountain Home, Thursday at noon.

     The Twin Lakes Republican Women’s Club asks those who plan to attend to RSVP Edna Fusco, program chairman, at 421-6368.
