The Can-Do Mayor. That’s the story North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick is taking to the streets in his 1988 bid for re-election. But that title may really belong to former Mayor William F. “Casey” Laman, 74, the man who paved and named those very streets that Hartwick and othermayoral contenders are pounding on the campaign trail. While Hartwick, 39, boasts of dozens of accomplishments in his first three years in office, his campaign committee paid for a full-page advertisement listing 57 of them in the Oct. 22 North Little Rock Times. Laman blasts the mayor for attempting to take credit. “This is a list maybe of happenings that happened during the three years. Most of them he couldn’t have stopped if he’d set out to stop them,” Laman said.

A federal judge chastised the state Department of Human Services this week for trying to “side-step the requirements of state and federal law” when it comes to funding day-treatment services for developmentally delayed children. U.S. District Judge Bill Wilson Jr. said the department’s actions appear to have been motivated by “political considerations” and violate the rights of the children, their parents and the clinics that provide the services. He said the department thus may not move “the type of services” offered under the Child Health Management Services program out of the state Medicaid plan.
