When you vote for someone based on their campaign promises and rhetoric, do you expect them to honor what they said? Or do you expect them to betray you and sell your values for projects? I ask because those are the questions you need to be asking during this campaign season.

Louisiana House District 2: Caddo Parish school board President Dr. Terence Vinson will host constituents, family, friends and supporters as he makes a formal announcement as a candidate for Louisiana House of Representatives for District 2.
July 2023. As the school year is set to begin next week, I would like to begin this month’s Desk of the DA with positive news about some of the outstanding youth of our community. On July 21, our office graduated its inaugural class of middle school students in its Summer Youth Leadership Academy. The graduation ceremony was in the basement jury room for Caddo District Judge John Mosely Jr.’s courtroom in the Caddo Parish Courthouse. The academy, a partnership with Community Renewal Friendship House, hosted the week-long event, encouraging students to dream and fulfill a productive future.

It’s summertime, and for those who would love take a seafaring voyage without venturing too far from home, just hop aboard the Shreveport Little Theatre’s 2023 delightful summer musical “Anything Goes.” When the captain calls for bon voyage to London—all ashore that’s going ashore -- the fun, frolic and intrigue launches in the masterfully crafted production, directed and choreographed by Lauren Beeman Nugent.
Several years ago after the launching of the 21st Century Policing Task Force, I approached a city councilman about asking then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch, a staunch community policing advocate, to request a pilot police substation be built in his district. He missed the point of the request when he said there was more crime going on in Cedar Grove and Queensborough than in his community.
b. more license plate readers for high-crime areas. c. more drones that can be used to survey large crowds and for utilization at active shooter scenes. d. mobile security camera units. e. a mobile crime scene command center. This list is not all inclusive nor is it listed in any particular priority order. Blue Line money will be a recurring source of income, but it is likely to decline as citizens become more obedient to school zones and speed limits.
