CONWAY — Selectmen last Tuesday said don’t let tariffs influence your vote on the $9 million police station bond and other articles. The next day, President Donald Trump unleashed a tariff plan that sent the stock market tumbling.
According to Market Watch, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said the announced tariffs were “worse than the worst-case scenario.” News sources said the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1,400 points Thursday and then 2,200 points Friday.
