This week's column is about our very own corrupt state rep now running for state senate. He is one hot mess!

Bob Ballinger has been in our statehouse for six years and all he has done is vote for a 100% increase in his salary, earn $25,000 for pretend notarizing a deed in the Ecclesia College swindle and in a gesture of cold Christian charity, voted to take healthcare away from needy adults in our state.
Bob has only introduced one piece of legislation and that is to strip citizens rights for a jury trial in civil litigation. Bob thinks corporations need to be protected against the people, not the other way around. Bobs bill is so unconstitutional that it will immediately be struck down in any court.
Bob Ballinger, like Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of the Federalist Society, a group of far right-wing lawyers who want to nullify our Constitution and replace it with one that will be Of, By, For the Corporation. Now Bob is taking outside, special interest, dark money to achieve that end. He does not care about us, the citizens of Arkansas 5th Senate District.
I am grateful that this election we have real choice and chance. Jim Wallace believes that our state government should work for the people, not the corporations. In contrast to what Ballinger hasnt done, Jim Wallace plans to bring high speed Internet to all the rural areas in Arkansas. If we had decent rural Internet access, many of those people thrown off healthcare rolls would be able to comply with the new restrictive laws Ballinger helped put in place.
