Governor, community appreciated
Thank you.
For those of you who have called, written or stopped by to give your support to the Batesville Daily Guard during the past several days we want to take this opportunity to say thank you.
And, that appreciation extends to Gov. Mike Beebe who stood behind us while he was fielding questions over our obituary policy when he recently spoke to a group of individuals who decided to toss the Guard into the controversial mix.
During his meeting with the Stonewall Democrats, the governor was asked about our free/paid obituary policies and he sided with the paper.
