In the inaugural edition of a Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette podcast called "Speaking of Arkansas," Greg Harton, editorial page editor, and Editor Rusty Turner are joined in our podcast studio by Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who is about to have his own inauguration into a second four-year term as Arkansas' chief executive. The governor speaks to the upcoming legislative session, the allocation of funding for an underground fire fouling the air in Bella Vista, the hiring of two former state legislators from Northwest Arkansas into full-time jobs with the state and his just-named pick to fill a vacancy on the Arkansas Highway Commission, among other topics. More episodes to come, so stay tuned.
