Three Red Bank city commissioners began another week without commenting on a high-profile firing of the police chief, inviting questions about whether the city’s political wing influenced an administrative decision.
Monday marked the 11th straight day City Manager Chris Dorsey declined to say why he fired police Chief Larry Sneed, who ran the department for seven years.
Commissioner Floy Pierce identified herself as one of several commissioners who conveyed “issues” with Mr. Sneed to Mr. Dorsey. She said residents should know the truth behind the firing, but she would not reveal any information herself.
At the start of 2014, the team behind Big Orange announced plans to open a brewery, and then were able to make it happen before the end of the year. Officially opened the weekend before Christmas, here are a few things to know before you visit Lost Forty Brewing, a Q&A with the head brewer, and a photo tour of the facility. (Oh, and also this year, Big Orange — along with liquor stores around the state — began filling growlers.)
Diamond Bear Brewing Co. moved it’s headquarters from Little Rock to North Little Rock this year (and now they offer food!). Also new to DB in 2014? Southern Blonde in can form.
