<title><![CDATA[Governor Beebe's weekly column and radio address: Developing Clean Energy and Strengthening Arkansas's Economy]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[It's a good sign when others begin to take notice of Arkansas's leadership ability. Last week, the nation was put on notice about our achievements in the emerging "green economy". A study by the Pew Charitable Trusts put Arkansas in the spotlight for the impressive rate of job growth we've created in the clean-energy sector.

<description><![CDATA[With July around the corner, we will soon turn our thoughts to the celebration of our nation's Independence Day. Many communities in Arkansas, however, also pause in June to commemorate a holiday that celebrates a different notion of freedom. June 19th is the annual observance of Juneteenth, a day of remembrance that has grown from humble roots in the African-American community in Texas to an offi...<br />]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It might not have generated national headlines, but last week, I assisted in the swearing-in of two new governors in Arkansas. These newly-minted leaders were elected by popular vote, sworn in under oath, and will preside over a legislative body of their peers. However, none of this took place in the State Capitol; the governors I'm talking about had just entered their ceremonial offices as the le...<br />]]></description>
