Little Rock police, fire unions support mayor's sales tax increase
SUMMARY: Little Rock’s Mayor Frank Scott Jr. secured support from police and firefighter unions for his proposed 1% sales tax increase, aimed at generating $65 million for public safety, economic development, infrastructure, and parks.

While the city‘s board of directors backs the tax, some residents, including Christian Olen, express concerns about the timing of the increase amid inflation.
