Tuesday night, Jan.14, 2014 a third attempt was made to get an FOIA request in the hands of Arkansas State Chancellor Tim Hudson or one of his minions. After 2 previous failures using registered U.S. Postal service, & email, FedEx was chosen.  Wednesday January 15, FedEx was successful in delivering the FOIA and it was signed for by B. James at 9:29 AM. 

Recall this process began on Dec. 31, 2013 when the USPS service was rejected.

By law Arkansas-Mexico State has 3 working days to respond to the request.

As information comes in regarding Hudson and others’ attempted theft of Arkansas State taxpayers’ property, the Mexico scam is beginning to closely resemble Barack Obama’s scandalous/criminal administration.

The following names continue to show up in any number of venues related to the Ark. State/Mexico scam.  Those names are Charles Welch, President of ASU; Chancellor Tim Hudson; along with 3 people named Frey, Cooksey, & Stripling.

Other names in a similar context are also mentioned:  Gov. Mike Beebe; A. G. Dustin McDaniel; Higher Education Director Shane Broadway; and occasionally Congressman Crawford, all graduates of Arkansas State.

Information has it that in particular Welch, Hudson, Frey, Cooksey, & Stripling all use texting to subvert the FOIA request. Of note Chancellor Hudson tried unsuccessfully to run this scam while employed at Texas Tech.

It has been theorized that to defray some of the economic burden related to the ASU/Mexico scam the above five, but not limited to, have moved some taxpayer dollars directed to fund ASU activities on the Jonesboro campus and diverted them into the ASU Foundation to avoid Arkansas State purchasing laws.

Conversations with a number of past & present legislators indicate that this was an end run around the state legislature which eliminated objective discussions and precisely as to why Chancellor Hudson, his minions and perhaps Gov. Beebe would run roughshod over Arkansas taxpayers, steal Arkansas taxpayer property for personal gain (as yet undetermined) and forsake Arkansas’ college aged youth allegedly to educate Mexican nationals in Mexico. 

Information has it that other financial abuses reign supreme—travel, per diems, supplies, services, utilization of A-State personnel, ad infinitum…which has not been verified yet.

In view of Arkansas State University’s ruling hierarchy’s irresponsible and very likely illegal activities and failure to justify spending hard-earned Arkansas taxpayer dollars which have been and are being spent in Mexico while thousands of Arkansans are qualifying for Medicaid weekly, joblessness mounting, 50% of Arkansas students entering colleges & universities requiring remedial education, K-12 ranking in the high 30% nationally, and our elective and governing bodies allowing a scam of this magnitude while coupling the above to the 25-35 million illegals already nesting in the U.S. is a proposal that can only be described as psychopathic behavior.

The individuals or entities willing to cough up $50 million for this self-serving enterprise will soon be known and by any standard a full scale criminal investigation by appropriate authorities should be launched immediately specifically into the internal affairs of the A-State administration, Gov. Beebe’s involvement if any, and finally is A.G. McDaniel advising?

Note: These are all Democrats that are ensconced in this proposed smelly misadventure.

Apparently the outright theft of the Arkansas State brand makes no difference to these politicians/bureaucrats who have spent their adult lives in the producers’ trough, no not “public service”, self-service.

In the final analysis, could this have anything to do with oil, gas, and other natural resources or just about educating cheap labor?
