Arkansas government shutdown

Here in Arkansas we have our own impending government shutdown. Republicans are a minority in the House but they can block appropriation bills that require something like 75 votes to pass. This is a dispute over the state Insurance Department's appropriation which has been defeated by the House twice. At the heart of the conflict is the desire to derail $1 million that is intended for use in setting up health-care exchanges under Obamacare.
