    Senator Sanders gets major shout out from liberal media

    One of the state senators representing the Maumelle area, Sen. David

    Sanders, received quite a bit of recognition from the liberal media this

    past week. Sanders is a Republican and an on-the-record conservative.

    First theArkansas Times, probably the most liberal-leaning publication

    in the state, called him one of Arkansas 25 Creative Thinkers for his

    work on parole and healthcare reform. Max Brantley, often a critic of

    Sanders, wrote the profile of Sanders, also noting that Sanders would

    probably run for higher office. I would agree with him on that.

    And in the same week, John Brummett, a liberal columnist for the

    Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, gave Sanders one of his upwardly

    pointing arrows, meaning he received Mr. Brummetts approval.Brummett says of Senator Sanders: He wasnt much of a newspaper

    columnist, but hes a solid state legislator. Its an entirely different skill

    set. It turns out he is a policy wonk. He has superior command of those

    three aforementioned main issues the private option, parole and

    teachers health insurance.

    Before entering politics, Sanders wrote a syndicated newspaper

    column, which appeared in this newspaper. Ill be talking to him soon

    for a column.

    From what I hear, the primary issue is an office-type building in the

    backyard, although you cant see it because they have built a

    compound-type fence around the backyard. Seems there has also been

    concern that there are often 10 or more cars parked at the house. The

    meeting is set for Tuesday, September 24, 6:30 p.m. in the council

    chambers if youre interested.
