NORTH LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) _ Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has offered
tickets for any of the NFL team’s five remaining home games, including travel
and hotel costs, to North Little Rock uniformed police officers and their
families as a gesture of gratitude.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette (http://bit.ly/2e1mGyf ) reports that Jones grew
up in North Little Rock. A city spokesman says a little more than 100 of the
department’s 179 uniformed officers plan to attend one of the remaining games
with family members.
Mayor Joe Smith says this was a way to say thank you to the officers and their
families.
City attorney Jason Carter says that because of state ethics laws regarding
gifts valued at more than $100, the North Little Rock City Council had to
approve a resolution for the city to accept Jones’ gift.
