This afternoon the Democrat-Gazette reported finding internal emails stating the Franklin county
Mega prison disaster has been cancelled. Now the state is looking into expanding other facilities.
This is exactly what I have been saying for decades. Unfortunately for the citizens of Arkansas, Gov. Sanders and Senator Bart Hester mislead the people of Arkansas by pushing a financial disaster and a disaster plan that would not make Arkansans safer.
As President Truman said the buck stops here. Governor Sanders and Senator Hester are woefully incompetent.
I already have a financially responsible plan that benefit all Arkansans not just political profiteers.

A judge ruled that Arkansas’s delayed special election for Senate District 26 violates constitutional rights. Gov. Sanders and AG Griffin say they’ll appeal the decision, defending the June 2026 date as cost-effective and lawful.
“Governor Sanders is confident that on appeal, the law clearly giving the Governor the authority to set special elections will be upheld and ultimately save taxpayer dollars and ensure the election is free, fair, and secure,” Sanders’ spokesperson Sam Dubke said in a statement.
“I am disappointed by the ruling and plan to appeal,” Griffin said via a spokesperson.

Whatever our attorney general’s opinion, the dates set for these special elections are unacceptable. The general rule for any governor, any party, any district, should be, “How quickly can we restore representation?”
If the AG needs to weigh in, you probably did it wrong.
#ARPX 🚨 Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin’s office has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit challenging the timing of the Senate District 26 special election.
The state argues Gov. Sanders acted within her legal authority in setting the June 6, 2026 date, calling claims of wrongdoing “unsupported.”
The brief also cites sovereign immunity, saying courts can’t overrule the Governor’s discretion on election timing.
Shelby's attorney, Jennifer Sanderfer stated in response: "I'm reviewing the Governor’s filings, and will respond in due time directly to the Court.”

@barthesters @lbengilmore @BryanBKing @KATVNews @ArkansasOnline Anne emails Shelby saying access to the site makes Franklin County NOT a viable option. Really? Time to ask about the minor detail of road & infrastructure costs. Read it in her words below. #standwith_fcrvc

@SarahHuckabee Board of Corrections approved spending FIFTY. THOUSAND. DOLLARS to find out two test wells can give them 21 gallons per minute combined. That’s the big result. You can’t make this stuff up, but you sure are paying for it, ARKANSAS!

A new water well might test at 16 GPM — but that doesn’t mean it’ll produce 24/7! If the aquifer can’t recharge, flow rates drop fast. Overpumping also risks drying up nearby wells! I hope @ShelbyDJohnson can help! 😂

A water well testing at 16 GPM may drop to 5… or dry up. That’s what happens when you overpump a weak aquifer. It’s not just reckless — it threatens nearby wells! This isn’t planning. It’s gambling with rural families’ water. 💧

State’s spending all this taxpayer money on a site with no public water source. How do you spell stupid?

Chicken farm very near the prison site drilled 4 250 ft. wells. All dry. Water utility said no water for farm. Now they pray for rain. But sure—let’s build a MEGA prison!
Millions being committed. No water secured.

@ArkansasHouse @SarahHuckabee Why should we be surprised they want to pipe all the mega prison wastewater to Fort Smith? It’s NOT Fort Smith’s doodoo to deal with! Put the money back into the prison,” they say. “Nothing is off the table” said California dudes!

@ArkansasOnline Would you spend $2.95 million on a property not knowing if there is enough public water to meet the demand? Nope you would not! But @SarahHuckabee did! Sadly, she did!

The public water infrastructure isn’t adequate. Now they say: We’ll drill water wells for the mega prison. What about the families who rely on well water?
FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION retweeted
So in 2022 @BartHester miraculously planned this exact amount, yet no land, no surveys, definitely no expert, no research, but he just knew. What a very smart guy, nothing at all fishy about this. Buttttt fortunate for us we know with tariffs and lack of infrastructure that’s well over 1 billion dollars. @ARGOP @ArkDems @dismang @arhousedems @JustinBoydAR @SarahHuckabee @PrisonPolicy @VanirCM @lbengilmore

Sanders administration is planning to supply water to its new Franklin Co. mega-prison with a pipeline from Ft. Smith. But city leaders say they do not have the capacity to serve the prison. Is there a Plan B?

@KATVNews If Governor Sanders wants this prison on this Franklin County site so badly that she’s willing to sacrifice local family’s household wells, then this has gone beyond reckless—it’s insanity!

Oh, so the state’s representative said the mega prison may get water from Fort Smith—yet Fort Smith has zero records of that. No emails. No docs.
Translation: no water plan! #standwith_FCRVC
