On Wednesday’s Talk Business & Politics Daily digital newscast KATV’s Janelle Lilley examines three ads airing out of state involving Donald Trump as a political weapon.

In our Inside the Numbers segment, we reveal why Presidential candidates have traditionally released their tax returns to the public. It’s an interesting story that dates back to the days of then-President Richard Nixon and it explains one of his most infamous lines when he declared, “I am not a crook.”

Also in today’s TB&P Daily, Marshall Saviers with Sage Partners explains the benefits of his company’s new merger with Johnelle Hunt-led Hunt Ventures and Gus Blass-led Capital Properties.

Sage Partners announced 10 days ago that the Fayetteville-Little Rock full-service commercial real estate firm would merge with the property management and leasing division of Lowell-based Hunt Ventures. Also, Little Rock-based Capital Properties has folded into the organization.

Combined, Sage Partners will now manage more than 3 million square feet in Northwest and central Arkansas and employ 50 people. Will bigger mean better?

“It can be and we think, through our scale and market presence, it will make us better and more efficient, for sure. And we’ll serve our clients better, which is the entire point,” said Marshall Saviers, president of Sage Partners.

He explained that opportunities in Northwest Arkansas kept presenting themselves making the merger sensible.

The firm’s partners now include Tom Allen, Scott Audrain, Alex Blass, Gus Blass, Johnelle Hunt, T.J. Lefler, Mark Saviers, Marshall Saviers, Brian Shaw and Tommy Van Zandt.
