  • Comment: And so . . . what about him? Has his behavior (voting record, etc) been so bland that nobody has commented? Hoary (talk) 10:06, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
I haven't come across anything profound or unusual that anyone said about him User:Hoary, you know what the saying is about opinions, but he is notable as a state legislator and President of the Arkansas Senate he is notable. FloridaArmy (talk) 13:19, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
FloridaArmy, when I asked the question, I didn't know the answer. Now I do. Answer: No, it has not. This encyclopedia entry (already cited) shows that Bradford was no milquetoast. Sample: "As an Arkansas legislator, Bradford was the primary sponsor of the Tobacco Settlement Funding Bill, a law that made Arkansas the only state to use its settlement funds for healthcare." And there's plenty more. -- Hoary (talk) 23:57, 28 May 2023 (UTC)
Yes, There certainly is User:Hoary. I am cautious about how much I include from any one source. But different editors have different standards. By all means expand. But let's not putter around in draftspace. This is clearly a notable subject. Thanks for taking an interest in it. FloridaArmy (talk) 01:08, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
