All towns and cities have some level of corruption. The city of Helena is the most corrupt city in Arkansas with the highest paid city council in the state.

No jobs, no clean water, houses are in bad shape, the local Walmart loses millions in theft, roads are horrendous, dog shelter was closed down and dogs were released into the wild, murder numbers that can rival Chicago on a weekend. Mayor and other council members not paying any utilities. FBI were sent in with arrests of police officers and city officials on drug charges. Stupidity from the mayor ran off a major steel mill company that could have set shop and provide hundreds of high paying jobs.

So people living in these cities move away in hopes of finding better opportunities in other cities that corruption is at a minimal and doesn't impact daily life.

So tell me what is the other reason?

Forget it DC... it's Helena.

To borrow a line from a movie.

To think Helena used to rival Memphis as a port town on the Mississippi. Heck I'm an old enough fart to remember when it was a decent enough place.

Hell, Pell City High School just attempted a coup against Coach Probst. You talking about corruption

Thankfully the fans told the board FU.
They're set to have a great season next year.

Alabama HS football just hits different. Arkansas should take notes.

ETA

Probst is slimy as they come but he can coach some football
