During the current Republican Primary for Governor between Jan Morgan and Gov. Asa Hutchinson, Asa has been promoting the $100 million income tax cuts in his first term in office. What he might not tell you is during his first term in office spending has increased over $600 million.

If you cut taxes by $100 million but increased spending by $600 million, did government get bigger or smaller?

This quiz highlights the spending increases in each Fiscal Year since Asa has been governor.
