Minority Party Restrictions VOSOT
SUMMARY: The Arkansas State Senate has passed a rule change that prevents leaders of the minority party from serving as vice chairs of standing committees. The change, introduced by Senate Majority Leader Blake Johnson, passed with a 20-9 vote. Senate Republicans argued that since they hold a majority due to voters’ support, they should control committee leadership roles. Democrats opposed the change, calling it unnecessary and unfair, asserting they should represent their districts. The rule change has sparked criticism, with some questioning its legitimacy, while Republicans defended their actions as a rightful use of power given their electoral mandate.

Why November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month
SUMMARY: November is Lung Cancer Awareness Month, and Arkansas has one of the highest lung cancer incident rates in the U.S., partly due to a higher-than-average smoking rate. Lung cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, making treatment less effective. Dr. Don Norwood, medical director of radiology at CAI, emphasizes that quitting smoking and early detection through low-dose CT screening can improve outcomes. People ages 50-80 with a history of 20 pack-years or more are at higher risk. Currently, only 3% of those eligible for screening in Arkansas are being screened, and the goal is to increase that number to 50%.
Arkansas has one of the highest lung cancer incidence rates in the U.S., and according to local doctors, quitting smoking is the key.
