Governor Mike Beebe Purpose

I started the Governor Mike Beebe group. Our purpose statement: Since taking office in 2007, Governor Mike Beebe has made improving education, expanding Arkansass economy and cutting taxes his top priorities. Under Beebes leadership, Arkansas has achieved more than $1.6 billion in tax relief. Governor Beebes education policies and initiatives have garnered nationwide attention, and Arkansas now ranks fifth in overall K-12 education. Arkansas also has significantly improved health care during Beebes time in office. The Arkansas Health Care Payment Improvement Initiative has reined in rising costs by giving doctors financial incentives to provide better care more efficiently. Already, it has been noted as a potential model for other states. Governor Beebe and his wife, Ginger, have worked together to improve childrens health and literacy throughout the State and have been nationally recognized for their leadership in fighting childhood hunger.
