FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, November 1, 2024
Little Rock, AR – On Friday, Family Council Director Jerry Cox issued a statement clarifying how the passage of Issue 2 would impact Arkansas.
Cox said, “The advertising surrounding Issue 2 has been the most confusing I’ve seen in years. Even members of the Arkansas Legislature have asked us for help understanding the issue. The ads are confusing, but the measure itself is pretty simple.
“A vote for Issue 2 prevents the State of Arkansas from licensing a casino out of Russellville, and it prevents any additional casinos from being opened in Arkansas without a new constitutional amendment and without local voter approval at a special election.
“A vote against Issue 2 means the State of Arkansas will license a casino in Russellville.”
Cox concluded his remarks by saying, “We believe it is important for Arkansans to vote wisely, and we want to help them understand the issues. When Arkansas voters understand the issues, they do what’s right.”
