Proponents and foes of a proposed constitutional amendment aimed at removing Pope County as a state-licensed casino site are at odds about whether the state Board of Election Commissioners should certify the proposed name and ballot title for the proposed amendment.
The state board is scheduled to meet Wednesday to consider certifying the popular name and ballot title of the Fair Play for Arkansas 2022 committee’s proposed constitutional amendment aimed at axing Pope County as a state-licensed casino site, and the popular name and ballot title of the Responsible Growth Arkansas committee’s proposed constitutional amendment that would legalize recreational marijuana, said board Director Daniel Shults.
