On Thursday, March 2, the U.S. Attorney’s Western District office filed a 43-page indictment that outlines the alleged scheme to steer General Improvement Fund money from the state legislature to projects supported through funding distributed by the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District.



quote:

The indictment also names Oren Paris, III and Randell G. Shelton, Jr. as playing a role in the effort. Paris, president of Ecclesia College is Springdale, received funding from GIF monies; however, the private school is not named in the indictment. Shelton is identified as the incorporator of an unnamed consulting company.
