As the Arkansas Legislature prepares to adjourn the fiscal session on Monday, the KUAR news staff looks at this week's passage of a state budget for the coming year. 

We also share the governor's concerns about non-budgetary items being taken up and plans for a special session later in the month on highway funding.

Also, Republicans in Arkansas are deciding whether to back the last remaining candidate in the party's presidential primary. While many, including Gov. Asa Hutchinson and state Sen. Jason Rapert, have concerns about Donald Trump, they say they'll support whoever whens the GOP nomination.
