HART'S LOCATION — Local Democratic state representatives denounced libertarian Republicans and their "wackadoodle bills" during a virtual forum that drew about 40 people on April 1.
Thursday's Zoom-based event was called "Ask Your State Reps anything." Hosted by former state rep. Ed Butler (D-Harts Location), it featured representatives Anita Burroughs (D-Bartlett) Jerry Knirk (D-Freedom), Chris McAleer (D-Jackson) and Steve Woodcock (D-Conway).
