Walmart Asks Arkansas Governor to Veto Religious Freedom Bill

time.com - Shortly after lawmakers in Arkansas approved a religious freedom bill Tuesday that is similar to Indiana’s controversial legislation, Walmart called on Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson to veto the measure.

“Today’s passage of HB1228 threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion present throughout the state of Arkansas and does not reflect the values we proudly uphold,” Doug McMillon, CEO of the Arkansas-based retailer, said in a statement. “For these reasons, we are asking Governor Hutchinson to veto this legislation.”
