Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) has said that American Eagle Communities announced it would pay some of the subcontractors and suppliers it owes for work on the now-stalled housing privatization effort at Little Rock Air Force Base. Pryor and Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) have been vocal critics of the Air Force for selecting a contractor that had a history of defaults.

The Leader reports that American Eagle plans to pay about $778,000 of the $2.4 million it allegedly owes for work at Little Rock.
