Plenty of news Friday about the Congressman, here is a quick look at the headlines:

The Morning News keeps the Fort Smith U.S. Marshals Museum in the news by focusing on possible funding ideas to offset the expected $20 million tab.

Third District Rep. John Boozman, R-Rogers, said he hopes Congress will provide some money for the project.

“Our commitment is to kind of turn the rocks over and see what’s out there,” Boozman said.

Meanwhile, KFSM in Fort Smith had the Congressman on the phone during the 6 p.m. news talking about a bill he is cosponsoring that would abolish the Tax Code by the end of the decade.

“This is something the American people want us to address. We’re going to move forward and we’ve got to start now so we can meet this deadline.”

Speaking of Taxes, a tax increase was passed on the last day of the “First 100 Hours.” KTHV in Little Rock has coverage of the vote.

Paul Barton from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette spoke with Rep. Boozman as part of a delegation-wide story on Iraq. The question: what is the mood of the people?

Even the group’s lone Republican, Rep. John Boozman, says his office gets a small but steady number of calls daily opposing President Bush’s plan to add 21, 500 troops, mostly in Baghdad.

The ADG’s Alex Daniels wraps up the latest out of Washington, detailing Boozman’s three subcommittee assignments on the Transportation Committee.

Here is more from the Benton County Daily Record:

“I am pleased with my assignments and the opportunity to continue working on the infrastructure needs of the 3 rd District. These assignments will allow my office to continue its work to create Interstate 49 through Arkansas, address minimumflow issues affecting the state, and improve air travel in and out of the 3 rd District,” Boozman said.

And that’s a wrap…
