Pulaski County employees will get 15 paid holidays in 2018, including both the May and November elections. The county commissioners approved next year’s holiday schedule Monday, but not without plenty of discussion.
Drive Sober This Super Bowl Sunday
Tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday, pitting the Seattle Seahawks against the Denver Broncos at 5:30 p.m. CT, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving are urging football fans not to drive drunk and to assign a designated driver.
Super Bowl Sunday continually ranks as one of the most dangerous times of the year for drunk driving deaths. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 43 percent of all traffic fatalities on Super Bowl Sunday and the early hours of the following morning in 2012 were caused by drunk driving, compared to an average of 31 percent for the year as a whole.
