Lake Zurich Area Chamber of Commerce 2014 Excellence Awards and Installation of 2015 Board of Directors
Northwest Arkansas legislators gave bipartisan praise to the tax and health care proposals of newly elected Gov. Asa Hutchinson at a Friday afternoon forum hosted by the Fayetteville Chamber of Commerce.
"The governor, I think, has his act together," said Sen. Uvalde Lindsey, D-Fayetteville, a former budget director for then-Gov. Bill Clinton. Hutchinson's tax cut proposals are well thought out and realistic, Lindsey said.
Hutchinson, a Republican, also announced Thursday he supports a two-year renewal of the state's private option health care plan. That decision was realistic, Lindsey and others said.
"I'm very impressed with the way he handled that," said Rep. Charlie Collins, R-Fayetteville, about the private option announcement. The plan has Democratic support but there's opposition among Republicans, the majority party. Hutchinson's handling of what could have been a divisive issue in his own party has been first-rate, Collins said, with no angry breaches. "I'm in awe of how he handled that," Collins said.
Hutchinson proposed a $100 million cut in the state income tax, a cut modified down to an overall impact of $80 million on the state budget by a Senate amendment that would forego a planned $20 million cut in the capital gains tax approved in the last regular legislative session.
