LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – Divisions within the Republican Party over tax cuts

and questions about the launch of the Bible Belt’s first medical marijuana

program are expected to dominate the agenda when Arkansas lawmakers convene at

the Capitol this week for the 2017 session. When the 91st General Assembly

convenes at noon on Monday, Republicans will hold their largest majority in the

Legislature since Reconstruction after gaining seats in the November election

and the defection of three Democratic lawmakers.
