479 Show - August 31, 2026

On this week's episode, our busy week began with the Bella Vista City Council rushing through the creation of an Advisory Green committee while taking its time discussing a sales tax reduction proposal, the Springdale City Council approving its updated land use plans, the Bentonville City Council turning down the noise, the Benton County Quorum Court sitting through the sound and fury while approving a bond issue to help build more health care facilities and the Fayetteville Board of Education approving a maximum price construction contact for the future Ramay Junior High School.We also had plenty of crime to keep our police busy while the latest shoe dropped in the case involving Benton County's lone County Judge candidate who may be closer to sitting behind bars than the podium at future Quorum Court meetings.Our Benton County Extension report celebrates the accomplishments of some area 4-H youth.And our trip off the beaten path might be better known as a trip to the Roadkill buffet with a couple of food haulers dropping off their cargo sooner than expectted.
