SHREVEPORT PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEETING TOMORROW SHOULD NOT BE CUT SHORT BY PRAYER RALLY

John Settle

The Public Safety Committee of the Shreveport City Council will meet tomorrow, Tues., in the council chambers at 1 p.m.

A press release issued last week by the Shreveport city council office stated that a prayer rally would be held in the council chambers at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Prayer is important, but so is scheduled Public Safety Committee meeting which should NOT be limited to one hour.

Many Shreveport citizens have planned to attend the committee meeting and express their concerns.

The prayer rally should be held in the lobby at Government Plaza if it is to be held tomorrow at 2 p.m.

In the alternative, it could be rescheduled.

There is not valid reason to curtail the committee meeting when the prayer session can be held in the lobby versus the chambers or at a different time.
