If one follows the Caddo Commission meetings, then you know that Commissioner Steven Jackson always wins the award for talking the most of any commissioner. Many of his rambling monologues are boring, repetitive and irrelevant. And as is his practice, Jackson likes to throw verbal darts at other commissioners.
Is Caddo Commissioner Jackson Part owner/Agent/Consultant for Burned-Out 114 Texas Building?
Currently, the governor of Louisiana, John Bel Edwards, is proposing to send some of the hard case and violent juvenile offenders to Angola, for which he is being excoriated by those who believe that this is too harsh. It is not too harsh if these violent juveniles are continuing to be bad actors. There are many people in the community, including this writer, who believe that it is not too harsh, and maybe a stint in Angola is where some of them should be sent to learn what real prison is like. It just might encourage them to straighten up their acts.
Finally attended a mayoral forum where the topic was/is a big passion of mine. You see, 37 years ago my first copy of Port City Magazine’s cover was entitled “I-49, Where Are You?” So I was paying great attention to see just how the candidates were answering the questions at the Allendale Strong‘s Neighborhood Association Mayoral Forum.
Allendale Strong President Dorothy Wiley posed a question to candidates for Shreveport mayor gathered at J.S. Clark Elementary for a forum on planning, neighborhoods and infrastructure.
Most questions of candidates for mayor and council candidates center on public safety (police and fire), infrastructure (streets and drainage) and economic development (jobs.) These are the so-called troika of government responsibilities.
Shreveport citizens are looking for leadership that is competent and can unify the city. That is the bottom line, and the candidate that shows that he or she can do that is going to have a great shot at leading the city. It is way past time for the city leaders to find a way to move the city forward without the bitter partisanship that has become the rule and not the exception. Today, Shreveport is dealing with too much crime, mayhem and neighborhood blight. The infrastructure is decaying. Streets are horrible, and people are just tired of the direction the city has been going for a long time.
Domestic violence is a major problem in society today, and its victims need a place where they can obtain the services and support to help them overcome their ordeal.
To those who follow Bossier politics and especially the Bossier City Council, then the moniker 'King David' is understood to be David Montgomery, Bossier City Council member.
If you’re walking down the street and see your friend, and she recognizes you, you always return the wave, unless you intentionally want to be rude. This is the secret of enjoying God‘s presence: recognize God‘s presence, and God will respond. Recognize God in your heart. Many persons are waiting for the Lord to reveal himself, but they never recognize God‘s presence in themselves. Take some time to say, “Here I am,” to our Lord.
