  • Testimony by Congressman Mike Ross Fourth Congressional District of Arkansas
    Testimony by Congressman Mike Ross Fourth Congressional District of Arkansas United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Field Hearing “FEMA’s Manufactured Housing Program: Haste Makes Waste” April 21, 2006 Thank you for having me here today, and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the manufactured homes at the Municipal Airport here in Hope, Arkansas. I would like to thank Chairwoman Susan Collins and Senator Mark Pryor for inviting me to join you today. Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast on August 29th, 2005. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the people that were drastically impacted as a result of this storm, who lost their home and literally everything they owned. I grew up in this area in Prescott, Emmet and Hope, and graduated in this very city from Hope High School in 1979. It is with great disappointment that I remind you it has been almost eight months since Hurricane Katrina, yet over 10,000 brand-new, fully furnished manufactured homes remain parked in a hay meadow at the Hope Municipal Airport, over 450 miles from the eye of the storm while thousands remain homeless. The situation at the Hope Airport is a symbol of the mishandlings of this disaster by this Administration and by FEMA Shortly after Hurricane Katrina, FEMA selected the Hope Airport because of the old World War II Army airport facility at this location. They wanted to use the inactive runways, taxiways, and tarmacs as a FEMA staging area. The original purpose was to store manufactured homes purchased as temporary housing for displaced families before they were sent to the devastated area.

  • Creating the Schools Our Students Deserve
    EDUCATOR’S GUIDE TO THE 92ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY: CREATING THE SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS DESERVE The Arkansas Education Association is a professional organization for teachers, ed- ucation support professionals, students and advocates. Our fundamental objective is to work for quality and equitable public education for all of Arkansas students, the betterment of the Arkansas state education system and quality working condi- tions for educators. WHY DOES POLITICAL ACTION MATTER? Almost every aspect of a school employee’s job is determined by appointed or elected officials. • School funding/resources for students • Class sizes • How student test scores are used • Privatizing services • Due process rights • Retirement and health benefits • Wages If we want to exert some control over the issues that are important to us, our family, our profession, and our community, we need to know: Who are the appointed and elected decision makers? What information do they have BEFORE they make their decisions? As AEA members, our job is to be sure that the policymakers at the local, state and federal levels hear directly from us on education issues. We know what students need to succeed. If we are absent from the process, we will allow import- ant decisions about education to be determined by people who may have never set foot into a classroom or worked with a student. This guide will provide you with information about Arkansas legislators, how to contact them, how the state legislative process works and how to help them make the right decisions for your students and your profession. It will also serve as a guide for educators to find your way around the Capitol.
