In Crunch, State Reached Out to Ad Firms for Vaccine Work

Pam Jones, principal and chief strategist for Culturally Connected Communications in Little Rock. (Kerry Prichard) The clicking clock of COVID-19 led Arkansas health officials to bypass typical competitive bidding procedures in awarding $8 million in advertising contracts to three Little Rock marketing firms, officials say, explaining that Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s pandemic emergency order allowed for the expedited process. The one-year, renewable contracts awarded to the Cranford Co., The Design Group and Culturally Connected Communications were announced in late May, setting off a round of questions from several marketers and ad agencies who said they hadn’t even realized the work was available. The governor’s COVID emergency decree expired at the beginning of June.

Council of State votes to let certain eviction protections expire Thursday

Certain North Carolina housing eviction policies will end Thursday after a partisan Council of State vote Tuesday to not extend them through July 31. However, Cooper administration officials stressed that many renters remain under federal Centers for Disease Control & Prevention eviction protections if they qualify in the following criteria: Received a federal stimulus check in 2020 or 2021; Were not required to report income to the IRS in 2020; Earn less than $99,000 ($198,000 filing jointly) per year; and Cannot make rent payments due to lost income. The office of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper reported that Republicans Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, State Treasurer Dale Folwell, Labor Commissioner Josh Dobson, Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler, Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt opposed extending the executive order.
