CVS responds to Gov. Sanders' New York Times Op-Ed about PBMs
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — CVS Health is ramping up its campaign against a new Arkansas law that targets pharmacy benefit managers, publicly clashing with Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders just hours after she defended the legislation in a guest essay for The New York Times. Act 624, signed by Sanders in April, bars companies from running both a pharmacy and a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM), a model used by CVS. PBMs manage prescription drug benefits for insurers, negotiate prices with drug manufacturers and reimburse pharmacies. In her guest essay on June 10, Sanders wrote that PBMs 'forcibly steer patients away from independent operators' and inflate drug prices. She also wrote that Act 624 lets PBMs keep operating in Arkansas, but, she said, 'they just can't continue to mistreat patients and box out other pharmacies.' Sanders claimed the three largest pharmacy benefit managers handle 80% of U.S. prescriptions and earn 70% of specialty drug revenue through their affiliated pharmacies. 'Now, CVS is threatening to close down every pharmacy it operates in our state — preferring to take its ball and go home rather than divest from its pharmacy benefit management business and actually serve the patients it claims to care about,' Sanders wrote. CVS sues Arkansas over new pharmacy law CVS issued a statement later that day disputing Sanders' characterization of the law, claiming that the new law is about 'choosing winners and losers and rewarding special interests.' 'Out-of-state competitors are disadvantaged,' a CVS spokesperson said. 'In-state competitors, including Walmart, would handsomely benefit from the closures of pharmacies owned by us and others. The losers are the people of Arkansas who will pay more.' CVS says the law could force it to close 23 pharmacies in Arkansas, affecting 340,000 patients, and block its specialty pharmacy from treating 10,000 high-risk patients with cancer, HIV and rare diseases. The company is also challenging Act 624 in federal court, arguing it violates the U.S. Constitution. 'PBMs are the last line of defense between drugmakers that want to charge a lot of money, and the American businesses, unions, health plans, and government agencies that want to provide good benefits to people,' CVS said in its response on June 10. CVS argues the law is unconstitutional because it unfairly targets out-of-state businesses, treats similar companies differently, and conflicts with federal laws like ERISA and Medicare rules. The company also raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest. 'One state representative who co-sponsored this law owns 13 pharmacies by himself,' the company said, linking to state Rep. Brandon Achor's campaign website. Act 624, introduced as House Bill 1150, was backed by the Arkansas Pharmacists Association and Attorney General Tim Griffin, and passed easily. Act 624 is scheduled to take effect January 1, 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Fayetteville School Board working to finalize bid process for new Woodland Jr. High
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — The Fayetteville Public Schools Board of Education signed off on more than $6.2 million in construction costs during a special meeting Wednesday. The board approved the funding for early concrete work on the new Woodland Junior High School. The total approved cost was $6,252,353.00. District officials will discuss the full guaranteed maximum price for building Woodland Jr. High at their regular school board meeting in July, but in the meantime, have approved some early packages to stay on schedule. 'We have a pretty tight timeline. The goal is to open the facility August of 27. And so, we're trying to get some of the site work components going,' said Dr. John Mulford, superintendent of Fayetteville Public Schools. Northwest Arkansas student selected to perform on U.S. Tour as a School of Rock AllStar Building a new Woodland facility is a part of the district's larger plan to restructure their feeder patterns for Fayetteville Public Schools. The district also plans to convert John L. Colbert Middle School into a junior high by August of 2027 and build a new facility for Ramay Junior High by August of 2028. 'These middle schools and junior highs will be more centrally located within their feeder pattern, which should limit the amount of travel time for parents as they take kids to and from school and between schools,' said Dr. Mulford, 'It'll take a large district and give it a small district feel K through eight.' Fayetteville Public Schools releases renderings for new Woodland, Ramay junior highs Dr. Mulford also mentioned that the district hopes to later convert the original Ramay Junior High School building into a conversion charter high school, although that would be several years in the future if implemented. 'We're going to work toward making that a conversion charter high school. That's probably 5 to 7 years out. And so, once we're able to move Ramay, then we will do renovations of that campus,' said Dr. Mulford, 'We're going to be engaging with our community over the next year to determine what themes and pathways they would like to see offered at that conversion charter high school, and then we'll begin the process for approval with the state.'

JCP&L Employee Volunteers Plant Thousands of Donated Trees in N.J.
Total helps put FirstEnergy on pace to exceed 2025 tree donation goal HOLMDEL, N.J., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Employee volunteers from Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), have planted more than 2,000 company-donated trees across JCP&L's New Jersey service territory in 2025 as part of the company's commitment to the environment and sustainability. JCP&L is more than two-thirds of the way towards eclipsing last year's total of 2,795 trees, with 2,174 trees donated and planted to date. The work is part of a larger effort by FirstEnergy, which is on pace to pass its goal of donating 25,000 trees in 2025 across its five-state service territory. So far this year, nearly 23,000 trees have been planted. Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President, New Jersey: "We are fortunate to work and raise our families in one of the most beautiful states in the country and privileged to give back to our communities with a program that provides a greener, cleaner and healthier environment. Our team members often clean up fallen trees after storms, and I'm proud of their commitment to volunteering their time to restore what was lost by planting anew." Tree-planting locations are chosen in partnership with local nonprofit organizations with a focus on ensuring the trees are placed safely away from power lines and other utility infrastructure. Tree varieties include native species like red maple, river birch, white and northern red oak, shagbark and bitternut hickory, pitch pine and dogwoods. Some of this year's tree-planting events include: More than 580 trees planted on Earth Day with the Girl Scouts of the Jersey Shore at Camp Sacajawea in Farmingdale. 400 trees planted with Schiff Natural Lands Trust and the Mendham Township Environmental Commission at the Tempe Wick Preserve in Mendham. Collaborations with Shade Tree Commissions and Parents Teacher Organizations to plant trees at local schools, including 160 trees at Howell Middle School South in Howell, 100 trees at Milford Brook Elementary School in Manalapan and 64 trees at Clara B. Worth Elementary School in Bayville. Nearly 180 trees planted at the Wattles Stewardship Center in Port Murray with the N.J. Audubon Society and another 250 trees planted with the Musconetong Watershed Association at Hampton Borough Park in Hampton. More than 300 trees planted at Winding River Park in Toms River, days after a wildfire scorched more than 15,000 acres just 10 miles to the south. In addition to tree plantings, JCP&L employees volunteer at events that include tree donations. In early May, volunteers gave away 150 tree seedlings at the New Jersey Sustainability Summit, hosted by Sustainable Jersey at Bell Works in Holmdel, home to JCP&L's central New Jersey headquarters. The efforts are led by JCP&L's Green Team, a group of employees that volunteer their time and talents to develop and support environmental initiatives. So far this year, more than 40 JCP&L Green Team members have donated a total of 214 hours to tree-planting events. JCP&L launched FirstEnergy's first Green Team in 2018, and the company now has Green Team chapters in each of the states it serves. JCP&L serves 1.1 million customers in the counties of Burlington, Essex, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.
