Governor Mike Beebe is calling upon the 86th General Assembly today to take a step that 24 legislatures before it could not take: to pass a fair and sensible natural gas severance tax.

Opportunities such as this one appear very infrequently, so when they do arrive, it is best to make the most of them.

Governor Beebe, with help from the legislators, has already made historic strides toward excellence in education for our children and tax relief on the necessities of life for everyday Arkansans.
