Pope County casino voting record | VERIFY
SUMMARY: The Arkansas election’s Issue Two concerns casino licensing, particularly affecting Pope County. If approved, it would eliminate the Cherokee Nation’s Legends Casino plans in the county. Ads claim Pope County has historically opposed casinos, highlighting a local ordinance favoring local votes on casino matters. In the 2018 election, while the statewide vote favored casino establishment, Pope County voters opposed it 60% to 39%. However, opinions have shifted. Since then, local leaders, including County Judge Ben Cross, have become advocates for the proposed casino, prompting voters to reconsider their stance on this contentious issue as the election approaches.
As many Arkansans prepare to vote, many have probably heard of Issue 2 regarding casino licenses. Here’s a breakdown of exactly how it works.

Burn bans continue through the weekend in Northwest Arkansas
SUMMARY: Due to ongoing dry conditions, almost all counties in Arkansas, including Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, are under a burn ban. The Springdale Fire Department emphasizes caution with any burning activities, highlighting that open burning, like bonfires, is prohibited. While contained burns, such as grilling, are technically allowed, they are not recommended due to elevated fire risks. The department is increasing staffing on brush trucks to respond to potential fires. They advise ensuring grilling equipment is on pavement and away from grass or structures, as even minor sparks can lead to significant fires under these dry conditions.
