LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Arkansas lawmakers are eyeing a special session in June to address an appropriation for the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission and to address possible tax cuts.

Capitol View host Roby Brock talked with Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families Executive Director Keesa Smith about the possibility of pausing tax cuts with questions over big expenses coming toward the state soon.

Roby then talks with Arkansas Democrat-Gazette columnist John Brummett about the recent passing of national political commentator and former KARK weekend anchor Alice Stewart and former Arkansas House Speaker Benny Petrus.

Capitol View airs on Sundays at 8:30 a.m.
