What’s the one thing that is needed for @SarahHuckabee new mega prison? WATER! @ShelbyDJohnson if this wasn’t so important, your 3M number would be the JOKE OF THE YEAR. @SarahHuckabee, you yourself might want to look at the water data.

$4M spent, ZERO prison beds built, and a plan on "pause" (or canceled).
What’s the next move, Governor?

[Bryan B. King @BryanBKing]

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.

Special thanks to Senator King who worked so hard and faithfully fought for the truth regarding the governor’s poorly conceived mega prison! Forever grateful!!

@ShelbyDJohnson Did you and your staff omit a tidbit of information? Ozark Water Dept. is operating at 85% without a prison. We thought we’d share the real, engineering report information. If you need any more assistance from us local, please feel free to reach out!

[FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION @StandWith_FCRVC]

@ArkansasSenate @ArkansasHouse
@SarahHuckabee, Are you all still satisfied with the site assessment completed by @ShelbyDJohnson? It’s no surprise to us locals. When we said treated water isn’t adequate, it’s the truth @ShelbyDJohnson omitted. Ozark’s engineers have confirmed!

[FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION @StandWith_FCRVC]

@ArkansasSenate @ArkansasHouse , Are you all wondering why Ozark’s engineer’s report is coming out one year later? After millions spent, @SarahHuckabee and @ShelbyDJohnson were hell bent on keeping it a BIG SECRET! Blindsiding the people is stinking bad politics!

[FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION @StandWith_FCRVC]

@ArkansasSenate @ArkansasHouse
Let’s talk honestly about the annual cost to operate @SarahHuckabee’s mega prison. Arkansas CANNOT afford it—plain and simple fact!

This is how money pit disasters get built!

@ArkansasSenate @ArkansasHouse
The governor tasked a “buildings lady” & “map guy” to find and buy a prison site—with no corrections experience. According to their emails, A. Laidlaw knew the roads weren’t viable & @ShelbyDJohnson knew workforce numbers were low.

@ArkansasSenate @ArkansasHouse @ShelbyDJohnson @SarahHuckabee Engineering & test data raise serious red flags about Duran’s & Johnson’s ability to prepare an accurate prison site assessment. Their grievous error leads Arkansas to waste millions on a site without adequate water. Asking about water should have been their first phone call!

@SarahHuckabee Arkansans—including Franklin County & River Valley—can read and do math. Maybe it’s the decision-makers who didn’t!

[FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION @StandWith_FCRVC]

Will picking—and sticking—to the Franklin County site detour her mega-political dreams & path back to Washington….she created a public relations nightmare! No water first. And now she is stealing our election! Good luck getting back to D.C. But it will be best for Arkansas!

[FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION @StandWith_FCRVC]

@ShelbyDJohnson , Are you still feeling important and happy about helping @SarahHuckabee pick and buy land with no current municipal water supply for her new mega prison and barely enough well water to flush ten toilets? Or did you lead her into a big ol’ pile of💩?

[FRANKLIN COUNTY AND RIVER VALLEY COALITION @StandWith_FCRVC]

@ArkansasSenate @ArkansasHouse @SarahHuckabee, Stop kicking that can down the road! Senate District 26 and House District 70 deserve representation—hold the special election without delay! We know you can do it!!

[Conduit News @ConduitNews]

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.

Governor Sanders Steps in a Big Ol’ 💩 Pile When Judge Rules Against Her! She’s delaying the District 26 Senate election “to save costs”? Absurd. Now she’s appealing, wasting time & resources to manipulate the election process. We see through her political shit show!

Huge win for District 26 and the citizens of Franklin County! This is a prime example of what people can accomplish when they come together for the good of our state. Yet another black mark on the governor and her team. Thank you, @Colt_Shelby!
