📰 News we're reading
• Arkansas' $7 Million E-Bike Voucher Program Has Not Confirmed First Selection Results (electricbikeexplorer.com) — Lonoke County residents are eligible to register now for Arkansas’s new Tri-Region E-Bike Incentive Program, which offers vouchers up to $1,200 toward qualifying e-bikes. The program is still confirming results from its first random selection, but registration remains open, with income-qualified households prioritized and clear rules on which bikes, documents, and timelines are required to actually use a voucher. 
• Assessors explain how Arkansas property values are determined after reappraisal questions (katv.com) — Lonoke County homeowners are getting a clearer look at how their property values and tax bills are calculated, with assessors stressing that reappraisals are based on recent local sales, not guesswork. Using three neighboring Lonoke County homes as examples, officials explain why Zillow estimates, exemptions, and homestead credits can make neighbors’ tax bills look very different and how residents can appeal or seek relief programs.
• Samuel Edward Buzzard, age 79 (anaturalstatefuneralservice.com) — Lonoke families are among those mourning Samuel Edward Buzzard, 79, whose son lives in Lonoke and who received care from Lonoke Health and Rehab near the end of his life. Remembered for his love of nature, Crowley’s Ridge, and hands-on parenting, his children Ethan and Delana share gratitude for friends, Helena communities, and caregivers as they plan a memorial service at a later date.
