KUAR Week-In-Review Podcast.

The KUAR News team took a look back at the week's top news in the latest installment of the Week In Review Podcast.

  • The State Supreme Court looks at the future of LGBTQ rights as a Fayetteville ordinance is challenged by the state.
     
  • In the Legislature: a deadline for Constitutional Amendments; abortion rights; and  sanctuary campuses.
     
  • Legislation in Arkansas to require online retailers to collect sales tax is moving forward, but a separate effort in Washington D.C. has a tougher road. Update: Amazon voluntarily said it will begin collecting sales tax in Arkansas starting in March.
     
  • Plus a centennial voting anniversary for Arkansas women and a poetry slam at the state Legislature.
