AR: State GOP Sues over use of Vehicles

From Times Record Online:

As promised, the Republican Party of Arkansas filed a lawsuit Wednesday over elected state officials’ personal use of state vehicles.

State GOP Chairman Doyle Webb, a lawyer, filed the lawsuit in Pulaski County Circuit Court, alleging officials’ personal use of state vehicles violates Amendment 70 of the Arkansas Constitution, which prohibits constitutional and legislative officers from receiving income for their services beyond their salaries and work-related expenses.

Webb said he asked the court to expedite the case in an effort to get at least an injunction prohibiting further use of the vehicles before the Nov. 2 general election.

Aaron Sadler, spokesman for Attorney General Dustin McDaniel, said Wednesday afternoon that the lawsuit is similar to one filed in June against several state officials and that it will be defended by the attorney general’s office.
