In an interview on the campus of Hendrix College, Alderman Adam Weeks told Profile reporter, Mark Hengel, that he would "bend over backwards" for developers looking to locate a business in downtown Conway.
Hengel caught up with Alderman Weeks at the Burrow on Nov. 13 while he was campaigning for the upcoming vote on a tax rededication that will cost Conway shoppers around $2 million per year for the next 10 years. The redirected tax revenue has been reported to fund a new police station east, to improve the city’s fire stations, and to improve the city roads.
The Log Cabin recently printed a small note that says Conway Fire Fighters Local 4016 support the rededication saying, “This sales tax rededication truly is the capital improvement workhorse for the Conway Fire Department.” No one can doubt that these departments do need the money and Conway’s roads could also benefit from additional revenue but do the shoppers and storeowners need to foot the bill when Conway has seen record increases in revenue the past two years?
Isn’t it time for Conway Mayor Tab Townsell and the City Council to stop the practice of “bending over backwards” for developers and focus the increased revenue already available to the needs of the CPD, CFD, and the city’s roads?
On Dec 13 lets send a message to the city leaders and vote to keep $14 million dollars in sales taxes for your future purchases from Conway merchants.

"WTF is homey doing at the hendrix campus anyway? I thought he was prohibited by his restraining order?
Awfully white of Adam to be fighting for the womans shelter as we know his victims need it."
You are correct, Weeks is still court ordered not to go on the campus of Hendrix. We plan on posting a follow up story on that issue tomorrow.
Waits patiently for the results of this ongoing investigation?
