Suspensions of Metro Housing Alliance Heads To Be Discussed Today
The fate of the head of the Metropolitan Housing Alliance could be decided in a matter of hours.
The agency, formerly known as the Little Rock Housing Authority, suspended Director Shelly Ehenger and Human Resources Director Kim Travis nearly two weeks ago over a, quote, "personnel issue."
The leadership shakeup comes as the commission attempts to makeover its image, changing its name and opening a new green living facility for senior citizens.
The commission called a special meeting to discuss both suspensions today at 11:30.
Judge To Rule On SAU Horse Theft Charges
A judge in Oklahoma is expected to make a ruling today on weather or not a woman accused of stealing horses from Southern Arkansas University can be charged.
Authorities say Jaci Rae Jackson stole several rodeo horses from the University last year and took them across the border to Oklahoma.
The judge will decide if prosecutors have enough evidence to charge her with animal cruelty, concealing stolen property and knowingly bringing stolen property in the state
The cruelty charge stems from the severe malnutrition and death of one of the horses named Credit Card.
Hiring our Heroes Job Fair
Startling statistics show while the national unemployment rate is 8.3%, the rate for post 9-11 veterans is 12.1%, and vets under 25 is an alarming 29.1%.
An NBC News initiative called "Hiring our Heroes" is here in central Arkansas this morning.
It's a job fair for veterans and military spouses today in Sherwood.
It'll be from 9am to 1 pm at Sherwood Forest at 1111 West Maryland Avenue.
