First of all, LR does not OWN the art center just like it didn't OWN the Travelers or The Razorbacks. Two organizations with past affiliations with the city that have left or have reduced their ties to the capital city. With regards to the Art Center, If this institution has found a public/private method to improve upon its current situation and provide greater exposure for the "arts" in the LR area who loses?? Who loses.... are the idiots in LR that are so territorial about keeping everything on their side of the playground that they would rather have an inferior product as long as they keep these venues within it's boundaries. Let's face it.....LR's current form of government and its current residential make up is typically incapable of coordinating anything "grand" for the betterment of greater LR. The recent exception being the expansion of the Robinson Auditorium. Furthermore, LRU1967, if you have a problem with NLR trying to help improve central arkansas' quality of life through urban development than I suggest you post it on a LR thread and quit trolling the NLR thread. However, feel free to contact your "strong" mayor and CoC and maybe you guys can derail an real opportunity to improve our state's flagship art institution.

Even after the 38% increase my electric bill from NLR is cheaper than it was from Entergy when I lived in LR. I would like to see a direct comparison on electric rates between to two providers mathematically broken down by usage. That said, I agree with aporkalypse that people don't care that electric rates basically remained steady for 10 years prior to the increase. This is simply because it is easier to raise rates yearly by small increments than to slam a person on a fixed income with a large correction.
