I had to look up where it was...and it turns out it's in my current "metropolitan" area of Ft. Smith. And, I'm really good at Arkansas geography, especially due to high school football. When I first heard of this, I thought they were referring to Midland, Texas.

I mean, it sucks and he should never have said that but the fact that he's a school board member is to be taken with a grain of salt. A dog could be a school board member there. They only have 250-odd people in the town.
