If it isn't, it damn well should be.

Bird kills in Beebe, massive fish kills in the Arkansas River, and now this shit. Someone needs to get the state legislators' heads out of their respective anal crevices.

On edit: Whoops-- it looks like the bill was actually HB1042. At any rate, it's good that the bill was killed.
