The first signs were quiet. In fact, only a mother’s intuition could hear them. Long before there was a diagnosis, before therapy sessions and evaluations and unfamiliar medical terms, Jasmine Wilson simply noticed that her daughter experienced the world differently. … While other babies reached for cuddles or rocked peacefully to sleep, Kylee pulled away from touch.

The Business of the Budget

Every year, Arkansans expect their state government to handle taxpayer dollars the same way families handle their household budgets: thoughtfully, carefully, and with clear priorities. Think about how you manage your own finances. You do not just spend without a plan. You look at what is coming in, your fixed expenses, and what needs attention in the months ahead. You may even set aside time each year to review everything, adjust for changes in income, rising costs, or new priorities.
