Darr serves final day; formal resignation expected

Lt. Gov. Mark Darr, who announced on Jan. 10 that he's resigning effective Saturday, is expected to formally tender his resignation soon.

And if the Springdale Republican follows what then Lt. Gov. Jim Guy Tucker did when he resigned in 1996, he'll submit a resignation letter to the secretary of state's office.

Senate President Pro Tempore Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, says he expects Darr's four staff members to continue to work in the office.

"They are there to serve to the people of Arkansas. They aren't there to serve Mark Darr," Lamoureux says. "They get requests and constituent calls."
