AG Rutledge Sends Letter to OSHA Demanding the Agency Withdraw COVID Vaccine Mandate

Little Rock– Attorney General Rutledge today joined a coalition of 27 attorneys general in a letter to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) asking the agency to withdraw its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for large employers. The letter follows a 6-3 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court last week blocking the Biden Administration’s OSHA vaccine mandate in response to a legal challenge brought by Attorney General Rutledge and other state attorneys general in addition to trade groups, nonprofits, and private businesses. Despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, OSHA has not withdrawn the emergency temporary standard (ETS), which would require vaccination for tens of millions of employees across the country.

Cooking with Mumzy!

Hello everyone, did you know that the key to someone’s heart is through their stomach? Well, honestly, I don’t know if this is true, but it is always something my momma told me, that is why she started teaching me to cook at the age of 8. I learned many of her and my grandmother’s recipes and I have done the same teaching my children how to cook, and my daughter is a fabulous cook and hopefully she will be adding some recipes for everyone to enjoy. She is a stay-athome mom of two, so she has more time to experiment and take some old recipes, add a few things and make new ones to add her own personnel touch. I hope everyone is in good health and as always Remember the Little Things in Life.
