January 4th, 2007
By Kim Betton // KARK Channel 4 


Mike Leach, Director of Southern Good Faith Fund’s Public Policy Program, during a news conference at the state Capitol in January 2007 explains a report by the Policy Program that proposes creation of an Arkansas Higher Education Trust Fund to make college possible for every Arkansan. The report proposes that the Higher Education Trust Fund be financed from revenues generated by increasing Arkansas’ severance tax on natural gas production, which is the lowest in the nation and was last increased in 1957.
