Very Successful

New Year

D. B. Hill, III, Executive Directorand AGRTC Board Members

It is an honor to greet you as the new Director ofthe Arkansas State Highway and TransportationDepartment. I appreciate the opportunity to fol-

low in the footsteps of former Director Dan Flowers.In his 17 years as Director of the Department, Danworked hand in hand with the Arkansas GoodRoads/ Transportation Council with the commongoal of providing motorists with the best transporta-tion system possible for Arkansas. I am committed tocontinuing our partnership as we look to the future.

A perfect example of the success we have enjoyed isthe 1999 Interstate Rehabilitation Program thatrebuilt 356 miles of Arkansas Interstate over a fiveyear period. With that program, Arkansas’ Interstateswent from being some of the worst in the UnitedStates to being some of the best. Just last month,with the help of the Good Roads/TransportationCouncil and many others, Arkansas voters gave theDepartment the opportunity to continue the rehabili-tation of our Interstates. Planning has already begunon the new program under which we expect theDepartment will be able to rehabilitate over 400miles of Interstate. The Depart ment has hired afinancial advisor, identified the types of work thatwill be done on the Interstates and is in the finalstages of assigning work to design consultants. Wehope to begin awarding contracts in late 2012.

We still have many challenges ahead of us as welook to the future of transportation in Arkansas. Ourmost immediate goal is to educate the voters of thisstate on the benefits of passing the proposedConstitutional Amendment that would raise the salestax by one-half percent for ten years. The proposalwill appear on the November 2012 election ballot. Itwould authorize the Highway Commission to issue

up to $1.3 billion in general obligation bonds. Therevenue derived from this program would be used forfour-lane highway or adding capacity to existingfour-lane highways. If all bonds are issued, a pro-gram totaling approximately $1.8 billion could beundertaken over a ten-year period. It will take hardwork by all of us to be successful but the effort willbenefit our highways and our state for years to come.

The next major legislative session will follow in2013 and I look forward to a successful relationshipwith the members of the House and Senate as weseek more long-term solutions to our funding challenges.

As we look at the job that lies ahead, I can say thatI am thankful to have so many friends and partnerswho share the common goal of providing a goodtransportation system here in Arkansas. I look forward to working with the Council and continuingthe successful partnership we have enjoyed over theyears.

Harrison Daily Times Our Viewpoint

Arkansas voters took a huge step forward last week inefforts to improve the image our state projects toprospective new business and residents.

Yes, Arkansas can convey a progressive image wheneveryone gets behind a project, and this project was ano-brainer, since we won’t see money coming out ofour pockets.

The plan revolves around a $575 million bond issueto fix highways. Although we may see few improve-ments on roads in the Heart of the Ozarks, we knowthis will improve major traffic arteries through thestate.

That promise was enough to persuade more thanthree-out-of-four voters to say yes at the ballot box inthe state-wide election.

The state Highway and TransportationCommission is authorized to borrow the money,then repay the bonds with federal transportationfunds and proceeds from the state’s current 4-cent tax on each gallon ofdiesel fuel sold in Arkansas for highwayuse.

The tax currently generates about $13.5 million ayear, according to officials.

Governor Mike Beebe said in his weekly newspapercolumn that the project would create about 28,000construction jobs. The money would be used toimprove more than 300 miles of highway. He said better roads will help the economy and make it morecompetitive with its neighbors in attracting and retaining business.

The measure was supported by the Move ArkansasForward Committee, whose members include the state’sChamber of Commerce, Municipal League, theTrucking Association and other groups.

Let’s keep the progress.Maybe if we build it, businesses and residents willcome. And more importantly, businesses and residents we currently have will dig their roots in

deeper.

federal money theHighway Commissionwould go forth with theoverpass.

“When I was firstelected to representStuttgart, there were twothings that people askedmy support for, that was abypass and overpass,”Glover said, at thegroundbreaking ceremony

in 2009.The City of Stuttgart took over

control of Main Street and federalfunds, one of the first steps to makethe overpass a reality. Berry securedfunds on that project.

Berry was supported by thecongressional delegation and thebypass was completed, Glover said.Then came the work on theoverpass. Other sacrifices weremade with farmland rights given upalong with other land within thecity by Producers Rice Mill andRiceland Foods

The U. S. Highway 79overpass was officiallydedicated as theCongressman Marion Berryand State Sen. BobbyGlover Overpass Thursdaymorning.

“These are plain spokenindividuals [Berry andGlover]— great leaders ofour state. CongressmanMarion Berry, what ablessing Arkansas has had while(he) represented the state. We knowyou brought a lot of dollars toStuttgart for this project,” JohnBurkhalter, P.E. Arkansas StateHighway Commissioner, said.

The overpass cost approximately$18 million while the bypass costnearly $4 million.

“The bypass I thought wasfeasible,” Jack Jacobs, member ofthe Stuttgart TransportationAdvisory Commission, said. “Butthe overpass, I thought I would begone before it got here. But due todiligent work of CongressmanMarion Berry and Sen. BobbyGlover and others it’s here and it’sin front of us.”

The overpass was opened totraffic in August. Recently the ramptie-ins were finished and the projectwas deemed complete.

“He (Glover) never would giveup,” Berry said. “I have gotten a lotof credit, but Bobby is the one thatstayed behind this and made itwork and got it done. When theytake me to the hospital now I don’thave to wait on that train,” Berrysaid.

Berry had surgery in June for abrain tumor, after which he wasdiagnosed with lymphoma. Berry’s

AGRTC Celebrates Victory — Plans For Rough Road AheadBy Deborah Horn

Commission Chairman Madison Murphy took themicrophone, ARGTC President Jim Wooten took care ofseveral pieces of business, including the approval ofARGTC’s financial statement and their 2012 budget.

“We’re in the black,” said Secretary/Treasurer BobCrafton in reference to the 2011 financial statement inlarge part because two successful fundraisers, including areception at the Arkansas Governor’s Mansion and a golftournament.

(continued on next page)

Governor Mike Beebe Robert Moore Madison Murphy Mark Lamberth


AGRTC Celebrates Victory (continued)

Crafton said the 2012 budget looks just like last year’s.“We need to hold fundraisers again in 2012, as well aswork toward increasing membership,” he said.

“We need as broad a base as we can get. We needmore corporate members. Of course our current mem-bers are important to us,” Wooten said.

Both items were unanimously approved.Executive Council Member Preston Scroggin made a

number of recommendations for 2012 board membersand officers, including retention of Wooten as president;D.B. Hill as Vice President, as well as filling in as inter-im Executive Director; Bob Crafton to continue to serveas Secretary/Treasurer; and Mark Lamberth, ClayMcGeorge and Scroggin serve as Executive CouncilMembers.

Board members who stepped down are: LamontCornwell, Bobby Edmonds, Cliff Gibson, Bill Lynch,Judge Jimmy Hart, Wayne Nichols, and TommyRoebuck.

New members are: Johnnie Bolin; Sandra Burke, JoeFakouri, Dan Flowers, Nick Haynes, Michael Lincoln,Jeff Lynch, Steve Thweatt, and Ed Way.

All nominations were unanimously approved.As Bolin moved from the nonprofit’s executive direc-

tor to the position of board member, Hill asked thecouncil to consider allowing him to continue filling in asinterim executive director, a position he assumed onBolin’s departure.

By allowing him to fill the position, AGRTC quicklycould put together and implement a strategic plan tocontinue an effort to educate the public about theupcoming half-cent November 2012 sales tax vote.

The money would fund the state’s four-lane roadways.While the council unanimously agreed to allow Hill to

serve for another six months, at that moment he wasinterrupted by the arrival of the Arkansas Governor.

As part of Beebe’s introduction, Board Member MarkLamberth said he wanted to thank the Governor andHouse Speaker Robert Moore for their support of theGARVEE bonds.

This support was echoed by Arkansas voters.With the issuance of $575 million in bonds, the

Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Departmentwill be able to repair and upgrade about 400 miles ofinterstate roads and bridges around the state.

“It was a watershed moment and an overwhelmingvote of confidence in your (Beebe) leadership and thesupport of this issue,” Lamberth said about the

November vote that passed by more than 80 percent.While Lamberth touted the Governor’s support, Beebe

replied by thanking AGRTC members for their hardwork.

“I want to say a thank you to you all. You’re a tough,influential group,” he said.

Beebe also praised Moore for his stance that wasn’tpopular in what turned out to be a conservativeLegislative Session.

Also, it was a hard measure to pass during rough eco-nomic times.

“Robert Moore was not afraid to tackle a challenge.He deserves the credit for our inspiration and the guywho didn’t want to quit,” Beebe said.

Beebe also thanked AGRTC guest Madison Murphyfor his work on the Arkansas Blue Ribbon Committeeon Highway Finance and the bond issue passage.

Before wrapping up his short speech, Beebe said,“One other thing, I was charged with asking JohnnieBolin to come up here.”

The Governor presented Bolin with a plaque from theAGRTC, thanking him for five years of service.





Bolin, who is leaving AGRTC to run for the StateSenate, thanked a number of people, including Gov.Beebe, former AHTD Director Dan Flowers, Bill Lynch,Preston Bynum; former Arkansas Asphalt PavementAssociation Executive Director John Suskie, Moore,Wooten, Murphy and Lamberth.

He also thanked Georgia-Pacific, the Association ofArkansas Counties, the Arkansas Farm Bureau, the BlueRibbon Commission, the Arkansas Municipal Leagueand others.

“I believe in a place called Arkansas and I believe wecan do better,” Bolin ended.

Wooten ended by saying, “If not for the willingness ofBolin to work hard, I’m not sure we’d be here today. Ibelieve he’s a difference-maker and we’re all indebted toyou.”

Following Bolin, Wooten introduced Moore.“Our next speaker had the intestinal fortitude and, at

his own political peril, supported the GARVEE bonds.He stood up and said this needs to be done.”

Wooten also mentioned his “great family,” includinghis father, Desha County Sheriff Robert, and his motherDorothy Moore of Arkansas City. Dorothy Moore alsobriefly held the position of sheriff and later worked forthen Gov. Bill Clinton.

“I’m deeply humbled by your kind words.” Moore continued by thanking AGRTC members and

others for their hard work. “We’ve taken a huge step, andthis will make a tremendous difference in the state,” hesaid.

The bonds will go a long way in making the state’s

roads safer and will spur economic development.“Our work’s not done, we need a (highway mainte-

nance) funding mechanism in place but with hard workand dedication we can get it,” he said.

Murphy followed Moore, and he too thanked theCouncil for its recent efforts.

“Thank you for all your hard work, without it wewouldn’t have gotten the bonds,” he said.

He also thanked a number of members and groupslike Move Arkansas Forward; the Arkansas StateChamber of Commerce; Craig DouglassCommunications; Board Member Ann Cash; and Hill.

Like Beebe and Moore, he said, “It’s time to getorganized. We still need a per-gallon flat tax. It’s a bigpiece of the long-term funding puzzle.”

Frank Vozel, AHTD Deputy Director and ChiefEngineer, echoed the sentiments of the morning’s otherspeakers.

“On behalf of the (Arkansas) highway department, wethank you,” he said to AGRTC.

He also outlined the actions of his department justprior to and following the recent passage of theGARVEE Bonds, including the formation of a financialplan developed by Stephens Inc.; locating qualified jobconsultants; classifying the type of project that each ofthe approximately 80 road construction jobs that fallunder the 2011 Interstate Rehabilitation Program; aswell as the bidding and construction timeframes.

“We can’t do all the work ourselves so we need con-sultants to help with design. We’re almost ready to startthe design process,” he said. With about 10 consultantsin place, AHTD expects to assign the first road construc-

tion jobs by the end of 2012.Beyond this program, Vozel said, “We need to educate

the voters of the benefits of the 1/2-cent sales tax,”which if passed by the voters in November 2012, willraise about $12 billion over 10 years before the tax sunsets. The tax would be divided among the state, cityand county, with 30 percent split equally between thestate’s cities and 75 counties and the remainder going tothe state’s highway system.

In addition to the $680 million going to the cities andcounties, Wooten said, “If we’re going to move forward,we need good roads. This will be of great economic benefit to our state.”

In addition to a concerted effort in support of the tax,Wooten encouraged members to come up with a simplemessage that packs a powerful punch and could be usedto promote their message.

For instance, he said, “Better Roads lead to a betterfuture.”

A farewellImmediately following the meeting, members and

Bolin’s family gathered in a nearby conference room forlunch and to thank Bolin for his work for AGRTC.

As Executive Director for five years, Bolin attendedhundreds of board meetings and conferences around thestate and country, as well as a couple dozen ArkansasBlue Ribbon Committee on Highway Finance meetingsat the Arkansas State Capitol.

Also, he oversaw the organization’s Little Rock office,produced a quarterly Good Roads magazine, taking itfrom 12 pages to 26, established a Good Roads websiteand hosted annual golf tournaments and semi-annualboard meetings.

Bolin officially resigned his position earlier this year in

order to run for State Senate, District 26, as aDemocrat.

Judge Scroggin, who worked with Bolin at theArkansas Legislature, said, “Johnnie was a mentor to meand he showed me a few things. He practices what hepreaches and has backbone, fortitude and tenacity whenit comes to getting a job done. We wish you the best.”

AGRTC Board Member Don Weaver told the audience he had met Bolin in 2004 and said, “I’ve neverseen this guy in a bad mood. He’s always got a smile onhis face. He’s gone over and beyond as Good RoadsExecutive Director, and I’m just glad you’re my friend.”

Curt Green, AGRTC Board Member, said, “You’reone of the best executive directors I’ve ever worked with,and I very much appreciate your knowledge and amamazed at the number of connections you have. No oneloves a good road quite like Johnnie. Thank you verymuch for your hard work.”

During the luncheon, Murphy, Vozel and ArkansasHighway Commissioner Tom Schueck presented Bolin aplaque for his service “as a tireless advocate for betterroads.”

Vozel said, “I can’t think of one person who’s donemore for the state’s roads. We hope he will continue tobe our goodwill ambassador.”

Hill presented Bolin with a poster that contained thefront covers of the Good Roads magazine.

Wooten also gave AGRTC administrative assistantLaverne Sterling a shout out for her hard work and contributions to the organization.

After accepting the poster, Bolin also thanked Sterlingfor her support.

“Laverne has been the backbone of the organization.We weren’t like boss and secretary but worked as twoemployees working together. I’ll be forever in debt toher.”

Bolin finished by saying, “It’s been a privilege to serveyou.”
