Our Fourth NLAN Meeting Was A Knockout!

If you have a chance to read this week's edition of 'The North Little Rock Times' you will find front & center on the first page an article by Jeremy Peppas titled: 'Mayor makes pitch to homeowners group', with "the Mayor was there, and so were (Ward 4) Aldermen Murry Witcher & Charlie Hight, with Ward 3 Aldermen Debi Ross & Neil Bryant. "All were gathered at Lakewood Elementary School for the monthly meeting of the Northeast Lakewood Associated Neighborhoods, a relatively recent addition to the North Little Rock scene, and on the agenda was a discussion of the proposed sales tax."

We want to thank Mayor Hays for taking time out of his busy schedule to honor our invitation to come and speak on his proposed additional sales tax issue. Details of his presentation on taxes are covered in the 'Times' article. Additionally he addressed many of our neighborhood issues that were brought up and his comments will be illustrated in our May NLAN Newsletter.

Last Monday's meeting had a very full agenda for NLAN issues, plus we had Aldermen Hight & Witcher joining the Mayor in addressing our questions. If you did not attend this meeting, NLANanders, be sure to try and make our next regularly scheduled meeting in August - we promise to have a humdinger!
