Show Notes

New radio system along with fire and police training facilities are part of the Bentonville bond issue. Replacing an aging radio system and new training facilities for police and fire personnel are part of a Bentonville bond issue. Residents will be asked at a special election April 13 to approve up to $266 million in bonds by extending a 1% city sales tax. Included in the bond proposal is $6.6 million for a new radio system, $3.9 million for a fire training facility and $1.6 million for a police training building. Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporter Mike Jones talks with Bentonville police chief Jon Simpson, Bentonville police Capt. John Hubbard, Bentonville deputy fire chief Kevin Boydston and Bentonville fire battalion chief Jeremy Metcalf.
