As we comb through the last 13 weeks, this is what materialized: the new governor and 2023 General Assembly squandered their chance to help regular Arkansans. 

By focusing on performative, extremist policy that doesn't actually solve problems, and by intentionally killing good bills that would have helped Arkansans, the supermajority chose scoring political points over fixing our state. In this recap, we look at what the #arleg focused on: government overreach, marginalizing groups, owning the libs, and punishing public schools.
