LPP 57 w Nic Horton | Why Arkansas Could Be the BEST State

Today, I'm grateful to be joined by Nic Horton, founder and CEO of Opportunity Arkansas. We discuss: 1) How Arkansas continues to grapple with the same issues decade after decade, including a broken foster care system, high poverty rates, and poor K-12 reading scores; 2) Why safety net reforms are key to Arkansas' flourishing, specifically concerning Medicaid; and 3) How more school choice would put Arkansas on the map, and why Arkansas has the potential to be the next go-to state like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. If you enjoyed the show, please consider rating it 5 stars, leaving a review, and sharing it on social media.
