Beebe, lawmakers to preview legislative session

— Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe and legislative leaders are previewing the top issues at this year’s legislative session in a forum with editors and reporters from around the state.

Beebe, incoming House Speaker Davy Carter and incoming Senate President Michael Lamoureux plan to discuss the session in a forum Monday at the state Capitol.

The forum is hosted by the Arkansas Associated Press Managing Editors Association.

Carter and Lamoureux are both Republicans and will lead the chambers after an election where the GOP won control of the Legislature for the first time since Reconstruction.

Beebe is a Democrat serving his second term.

Lawmakers convene for the legislative session Jan. 14.
