Cigarettes are a lot more expensive for Arkansans since the 56-cent-per-pack state tobacco tax increase became law in March, except for residents of border cities like Texarkana and Fort Smith, whose residents pay the tax rate of the neighboring states under Arkansas' border city exemption law.

I grew up in West Memphis and I don't believe that I would ever say that "Ingram Boulevard is the main drag through West Memphis" as the reporter does in this article. The main drag through West Memphis is either Broadway or Missouri depending on whether you want to go east/west or north/south. Ingram Boulevard is a four lane thoroughfare, but it is on one side of town and doesn't have many businesses on it.

If Marion is not going to pay for their fair share of funding the Trauma system, why should they be able to particpate in it?
