THE CIRCUS HAS MOVED FROM BOSSIER TO THE CADDO COMMISSION

Bossier City has received the award for most negative publicity for past few weeks with the ongoing saga of the Charter Commission and the term limit debate.

The Commission meetings  were indeed a circus--but not with acrobats, etc. Yes--there were a few clowns in attendance.

Bossier Mayor Tommy Chandler wisely  decided to shut down the circus. He introduced last Tuesday a measure to disband  the Charter Commission.

On Friday, the Caddo Commission work session agenda was posted. Commissioner Greg Young wants to replace Tiffany Hyde and Bob Brown on the Lakeview Water District Board.

Both Hyde and Brown want to stay on the Board. Both say they have NOT resigned, and that Young has no authority to remove them.

Both Hyde and Young have previously addressed the Commission on the Water District Board, its meetings, and board composition.

Young is a first term Commissioner, and he has been very outspoken on a proposed housing project in his district. It is expected that fireworks will be set off at the work session  meeting today at 3:30 p.m. at Government Plaza.

BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THERE ARE MANY POSITIVE THINGS HAPPENING LOCALLY

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THE CADDO COMMISSION WILL MEET NEXT WEEK
