Bossier mayor Tommy Chandler was absent at the council's Tues. meeting. His absence was not explained, and many say not missed if even noticed.

Chandler has had a rough go in getting approvals for his recommendation by King David Montgomery and his  council lackeys with the exception of councilman at large Chris Smith. 

Certainly a round of golf in great weather beats the heck out of a drubbing at a council meeting any day. Heck, maybe even polar ice fishing is a better option.

Chandler along with Bossier Fire Chief Brad Zagone and their buddies were on a Vegas golf trip on Tues. Since what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas the real story of their partying will never be told.

Chandler missed a major meltdown by King David when a citizen questioned the pending vote on a massive bond issue. But then Chandler is not a newcomer to that circus, having been the object of King David's tirades previously.

Hopefully Chandler mailed postcards to council members and maybe even brought back a trip gift for each of one. If he did, one can only hope he bought a big lump of coal for King David and his cadre.
