Folks still talk about farming in East Arkansas.
They worry about taxes, of all things, especially the kind that can wipe out a tradition of family farming. Unemployment is still very much a concern in the First District, which seems sadly exempt from the New Economy. Even the candidates are a different breed. Ain't anything dull about the Republican primary for Congress in the First District. They are Susan Myshka of Jonesboro and Jason Sutfin of Piggott.
