Republicans in Arkansas' House are criticizing Speaker Robbie Wills' firing of the chamber's information director and his push to revamp its communications office.
House Republican Leader Bryan King and Republican Rep. Dan Greenberg said Wednesday they're worried that Wills is trying to politicize the House information office. Wills, a Democrat, announced this week that the House signed a contract with a Little Rock public relations firm to set up a new communications office.
Stephen Steed, who had been the information director for more than 10 years, said he was fired on Monday.
King and Greenberg said they're worried the communications office will be used to only advocate for Wills and other Democrats.
