The total is sourced, but the detail beneath it has not been ingested yet.
Now sourced from the state's 2025 millage book (for 2026 collections). County: 7.1 mills — road 3.0, library 1.0, hospital 1.0, college 1.0, plus small general/misc mills that split differently for city and rural residents (exact column mapping still being confirmed against the book's layout). City of Arkadelphia adds 5.0; Gurdon 5.4. Schools are the big share: Arkadelphia district 47.65, Gurdon 43.0. Total inside Arkadelphia city limits: 59.75 mills. A $100,000 home is assessed at 20% ($20,000), so one mill costs about $20 a year — 59.75 mills is roughly $1,195 before the homestead credit. Notable: the Arkadelphia school rate rose from 44.65 in the 2024 book to 47.65 in the 2025 book — 3.0 new bond mills.
Reconstructed — and the trail stops here. To see who this money actually reached, someone has to pull records, minutes, or a check register (that's Docket #3). It often stays dark.
There's another way. If the county paid this line from a transparent, line-attributed account, it would publish its own itemized transactions — payee, amount, date — the moment each payment cleared. No request required; the dead end becomes a list. That's the idea behind receipts by rails, filed as a solution to the transparency question — read it and weigh in.
