Jim Tull Dependent on High State Spending
Jim Tull is running for the Arkansas Senate in District 32. He is running against state Representative Joshua Bryant who has a solid conservative record. (See: REP. JOSHUA BRYANT Platform Hero Series)
Over the past five years Jim Tull’s company, Crafton Tull and Associates has received over $81 million in consulting fees from the State of Arkansas. With Tull’s business being dependent on state contracts, he has a vested interest in keeping Arkansas spending high. High spending means it will be harder to lower taxes.
Is that what you want? More spending and keeping taxes high for consulting contracts?
