Mon Aug 5 – 6:00 pm – Omni Center
Last night the Quorum Court adopted a suggestion People Power and the Arkansas Justice Network have been pushing for over several months. That’s a study by a neutral outside party of our county criminal justice system that could assess current policies and practices, and suggest efficient. just and humane ways to improve our operations. They approved $100,000 for the study, with the understanding that they may need to approve more when a group is identified.
We want a community that’s safe, welcoming and prosperous for everyone who lives here. That’s getting harder to imagine now days. We need to work together to have the kind of community we want to live in, so come over and help us build it. This study will give us and our Quorum Court Justices the confidence that we are doing this in the best way we can.
People Power meets the first and third Mondays. This week we’ll talk about the sanctuary collaboration emerging in Fayetteville and update on the jail expansion and Quorum Court. Yes… lots to talk about.
