A group supporting a proposed state
constitutional amendment that they say would boost economic
development in Arkansas plan to announce a campaign to get it
passed this morning.
Amendment Two is on the November ballot. It would give
legislators the power to use millions of dollars of state money to
attract super projects, such as an automobile plant, without
requiring a popular vote. The projects would have to create at
least 500 jobs and bring at least 500 million dollars to the
state economy.
Former state economic development director Jim Pickens is
leading the push for the amendment.
