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.

At the meeting on Thurs. Sept 22 Steven took aim at the Downtown Development Authority over the coverage of the fire at 114 Texas St. and the Shreveport Bossier Sports Commission over the Grambling-Northwestern State football game.

At one time during the meeting he was recognized as being on the board and his response was "I forgot what I was going to say." This was after the trashed DDA and the sports commission.

During the meeting which started at 3:30 p.m., Jackson emailed Liz Swaine the DDA director and councilwoman Levette Fuller, the council representative for downtown.

Evidently his anger was stoked after reading the weekly DDA newsletter that featured articles on the Wed. fire, Big Sun Studio, Noble Savage and other downtown news.

"I remain very disappointed that the only time I ever recall you all mentioning 114 Texas is when if has been engulfed in flames. What does this say intentionally or unintentionally?

When are you going to reach out to the owner and developers to discuss your concerns, offer sympathy, and express support?

”This is very telling and I will remember.”

Although sent from his personal email address it is a public record since sent to an elected official and the DDA director.

Hmmm...is his last sentence an implied threat?

Judge Marcus Hunter of Monroe is the owner of the building, not Jackson.

So why is Jackson calling out Swaine and Fuller for what they did or did not do.

Hopefully Jackson promptly advised the building owner that he is responsible, not the city of Shreveport, for security the building and eliminating the public safety hazard it represents.

But then that would be constructive action, which is certainly not Jackson's forte.
