Gearhart struts around like a golden peacock, but why shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t he, e.g. he violated U.S. immigration law 8 USC, Section 1324a, 1325, in full public view with the approval of Gov. Mike Beebe, the Ark. State Legislature (except one, Rep. Jon Hubbard) all law enforcement agencies and no government agency laid a glove on him.&nbsp; Selective law enforcement, which now appears to be rampant. <\/p>\n<p>Correction please: One lonely cry from a state legislator. The cry comes from one of the famed Jeffress brothers, Senator Jeffress, renowned for his extensive travel at taxpayer expense but not quite the magnitude of U.S. Senator John \u00e2\u20ac\u0153the travellin Man\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Boozman. <\/p>\n<p>Back to the point, Senator Jeffress made an excellent observation on Chancellor Gearhart\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s conduct on the one hand, accompanied by an ironic blunder on the other. <\/p>\n<p>The Senator stated, with reference to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Big House\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Chancellor Gearhart and his two underlings Choate &amp; Sharp&#8211;\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Out in the real world this kind of activity would get you fired\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.&nbsp; Of course, but&nbsp; Jeffress\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is one of the last folks around who would be acquainted with a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153real world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d experience, e.g. Jeffress has been on the taxpayers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 teat for decades\u00e2\u20ac\u201dschool teacher, Justice of the Peace, Ark. House of Representatives and the state Senate.&nbsp; Wonder how much taxpayer largesse he totes home each month?&nbsp; The Jeffress brothers have argued that government positions are equal to the private sector in generating taxes, not understanding that the private sector\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s earnings underwrite all government, and this guy was a school teacher!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Big House Chancellor Gearhart should be fired along with the other two miscreants, for this and other operations in which he has instigated and indulged. <br \/>\nSpending other peoples\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 money is the easiest job in the world and we have an inordinate supply of taxpayer money blood suckers at all levels\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6bureaucratic &amp; political.<\/p>\n<p>Joe McCutchen<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/j85.01e.mytemp.website&nbsp;&nbsp;\">arkansasfreedom.net&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/a> <br \/>\n<span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE GOVERNMENT PROTECTION RACKET THRIVES&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; December 19, 2012 More Malfeasance &amp; Misfeasance at the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Big House on the Fayetteville Hill\u00e2\u20ac\u009d accompanied by a comment from one of the legislature\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s court jesters.
