Todd Arkansas Governor ASA
Hutchison joins us now to
discuss
governor thanks so much for
being here.
How did you make this call for
five day a week in person
school?
Well, the school environment
is so important for our young
people.
You cant have the same level of
education.
You cant have the same
consistency without the Inn
classroom instruction.
She t is very challenging,
because teachers want to make
sure its safe as they go back.
You want to make sure that the
students take the precautions,
wear masks and do social
distancing, which theyre not
accustomed
to say. We have a lot of work in
Arkansas and couple weeks left
until we actually start our in
classroom instruction.
We are committed to that
thats very important for us.
We know its going to be
challenging, but it just makes
all the difference in the world
for the young people, and that
includes the sports side of
things that is important part

going to be in sports or going
to be in their bedroom.

the NRA, as New York tries to
dissolve them with that new
lawsuit.
Why should they move to
Arkansas?

startling attack and a
coordinated attack from the left
on an organization that defends
the assessment.
Have you got both the lawsuit in
the District of Columbia against
the foundation?
Have you got the attack in New
York by the attorney general
against the NRA?
It doesnt take anyone that is
too astute to observe that they
are simply trying to destroy an
organization that supports the
second amendment
and whether you are a firearm
manufacturer, an ammunition
manufacturer or you are an
organization that supports the
second amendment.
If you are in a state that
doesnt appreciate that and
value that come south
come to Arkansas, we value the
second amendment and we
understand the NRA is not
perfect, and if there is
accountable issues there ought
to pursue those but dont
destroy an organization because
it supports the second
amendment,
Emily thats, exactly right.
New York attorney general
allegation goes back at least
three years, and certainly this
investigation has been ongoing
for quite some time.
Revelation get us election year
days before hand
seeking complete dissolution.
When allegations are for
corporate fraud and the part of
redirecting finance
part of incredible remedy, they
are seeking and incredible
solution to something we usually
actually dont see in law,
so foreign poor, the public to
understand that an action that says we want to
an action that says we want to make.
