| Description | "A former state legislator challenging Treasurer Martha Shoffner's re-election bid is calling the incumbent "Queen Martha" for her personal use of a state vehicle.
Green Party nominee Bobby Tullis ran an ad in this week's Arkansas Times newspaper headlined "Overthrow Queen Martha." The full-page ad is a cartoon showing Shoffner hitting an Arkansas State Police vehicle with a scepter and yelling: "Take that, manservants."
Shoffner apologized earlier this month after she referred to the state trooper driving Gov. Mike Beebe as a "manservant." Shoffner made the comments defending her personal use of a state vehicle.
Shoffner has since said she'll pay income taxes for the personal use of her vehicle.
Shoffner is a Democrat. No Republican filed for the post." |
