And then there were two ...

A little behind ... apologies citizens

With time creeping up and a nasty primary behind us, one would presume that things will only get nastier.

Ahh, politics ... left out sentences, presumptions of guilt, need I go on? Such is Louisiana politics. We've taught everyone else this speciality.

The question is which party will bring the biggest gun to this knife fight?

OK! Let's talk important issues. Roy will be mayor. Will he change Alexandria gov't to become an entity to maintain the essentials and refrain from grasping for more and more national, state, parish and local tax dollars to fund pie-in-the-sky plans by hanger-ons and perpetual parasites? Mr Mayor....answer please. And incidentally this will exhibit whether he understands the difference between socialism and capitalism. Water slides, Bentleys, Condo's, half million dollar buses, walking trails, landscaping architects fees, legal fees for studies blah, blah, blah are definitely examples of socialism in action. All of these schemes to take your money you produced for you and your family and spread it around to cronies who leach off the working person are the socialistic activities right here in River City. It exists and only an intellectually dishonest man or a fool does not see it. Will he disavow the status quo and move toward the laissez-faire capitalistic concept of having the free market provide the economic boon that will follow a change from force, fraud and gov't to freedom and a vibrant economy. Address this issue in detail so we can see exactly what you perceive is in the best interest of Alex and its citizens (taxpayers).

Yes, it appears that Roy may be the Mayor of Alexandria. If elected, could he make positive changes? Oh, I'm sure.

Now, to your observations. Are these recent or prior to the possibility of Roy becoming Mayor? You sound very passionate about this/these particular issue/issues.

What's your story? Not to knock your concerns and/or beliefs, but what are you doing to make Alexandria better? Are you working with public officials to make the city better? Are you initiating grassroot efforts to enhance the quality of life in Alexandria? As a taxpayer, you have the right to meet with any public official to express any concerns that may be heavy on your heart.

Be proactive! Don't sit back and wait to see what is going to happen, be a part of what will happen!

If Roy is elected, let's not sit back and watch, jump in and state your concerns so that he and the City Council are aware of them at the start of this Administration!

To anon 2:19 and 2:58. Let's see, your most intellligent comment is the statement and question was "idiotic" and "juvenile". It is unreasonable to question whether the status quo will be tampered with when our Mayor takes office? When a concept is put forth do you think namecalling will prove your point? My guess is you have no point. When you go to an intellectual discussion, you should bring more than your list of derogatory adjectives. And to the fellow who chooses Death, I guess that would be better than eleminating the fraud and corruption in city Hall. Oh, well Thomas Payne would be proud we have evolved so much in the last 2 centuries.

As pointed out by the person who defined socialism. The means of production is controlled by the gov't. Incidentally paranoia is a belief that everyone is out to get you when they are in fact not. If they are out to get you then it is realism. You still resume to namecalling and "Oh my goodness--Lamar said I did not know what socialism is" That is of course the end of the discussion. The definitive omnipotent one "Lamar" has spoken. The "I can do wonders with the Bringhurst golf extravaganza with your money" guru. I will be glad to debate you, Lamar or anyone on the benefits of freemarket economics over govt controlled "socialistic" endeavors. I am appalled that you are so amazingly upset over the debate. Do you hate freedom and capitalism so much that you go ballistic at the mention of the obvious. Socialism has crept into our society in many ways, to the detriment of all who wish to work and keep the product of their work, to dispose of as they wish, not at the wishes of the of those who only want to confiscate the wealth of the producers. But in any event, I began by asking the new mayor his opinions on the changes necessary to move the economy of Alexandria forward. I prefer to hear from him and see no future in discussing intellectual concepts with you unless you really wish to discuss in a rational manner.

Or as you said, should we just shut up and let others decide our destiny? You people are too comfortable with a system that exploits anyone who works for a living and wishes to keep the product of his work. Is there anyone who is out there who wishes to defend capitalism. In WWI and WWII I believe it was the capitalistic USA fighting the Socialistic and Fascist Germans, Italians and Japanese.

we believe that second to the holy bible (king james version) that the constitution of the united states of america is the most important and sacred document ever written for mankind. unfortunately, americans have fallen too far morally and spiritually to recover and restore our country to its original intent. history has shown that the only thing that will restore sanity is some calamity.

Blogger said...

liberty or death,

I'd welcome the opportunity to debate the benefits of free market capitalism over "socialistic" endeavors. The trouble is: We'd probably agree more than we'd disagree.

Let me ask you this:

What would you prefer? Big government that stimulates economic development by fully-funding and employing endeavors like the marina, sports complex, and public golf courses?

OR government that works WITH private industry, giving them use of the marina at a cost (for example) in exchange for an agreement that private industy will employ, insure, and manage the facilities?

I think you'd probably agree: Private industry does a better job growing assets and increasing the profitability of those assets than government does.

Obviously, you've been misled about the Bringhurst Golf Course proposal and the overall vision for the Masonic Corridor, and you're choosing to take the line that this is yet another example of some sort of socialist ploy to take over America. That's your right. But it doesn't make you right.

History has shown that freedom seeking people will overcome any odds to achieve it. The history of the world is basically people fleeing oppresion at the hands of government and the Church. They moved from Africa, to the mid-east, Greece, Italy, Spain, Europe, GR. BRit and then the United States. When we became too regimented freedom lovers moved west. We always move away from govt/religion control to free speech and capitalism. The internet is the new entity that will give us more freedom, not a calamity. Just like fire, the wheel, the printing press, the renaissance, industrial revolution, the internet has increased freedom all around the world. Intelligent discussions among rational men is possible without ever leaving your home. What if those giants whose sholders we stand on would have had the communication marvels we have. NO, I don't believe our salvation is a calamity, but the ability to reason and move in the direction of the moral, rational way to live together without force or fraud. It is at least refreshing to find some who wish to discuss concepts.

Lamar, I hope we would agree. I think there is nothing the gov't can do that the free market can't do better. When people react in the free market it is without the use of force and is therefore morally defensible. Econmomics has shown irrefutable that there is a definite increase in employment, standard of living, production, health of the citizenry etc the more we move to a capitalistic system. There is no compromise between food and poison. Same w/ capitalism and socialism. A little of poison will kill ya and a little of socialism will start us on the long road to complete control of the individual. And everytime I point out a project is socialistic in nature and takes the taxpayers money without their consent, I am not screaming a socialist plot to take over America. I am simply identifying what is in reality happening. If you are suggesting it is moral to use taxpayers dollars to subsidize your favorite projects, then just say so and accept the fact that you definitely condone these collectivist activities. I don't because they are impractical, almost always fail and lead to another attempt with the taxpayers money to fix it, and are inherently immoral and dishonest. That's just the way I see it. No conspiracy, just folks who chose to work with money stolen from the one who procuced it rather than voluntarily through free trade.

Lamar cannot help but state his biased, liberalastic, bring them back down town opinion on this blog. Never have I seen anyone who has all the ansewers to all the woes of Alexandria as Lamar does. Lamar what can't you understand that no one gives a dayum about your immature, childish schemes designed to enrich you and your friends?

You can pour all the money into downtown Alexandria that you want but the white folks are not going down there. Doesn't sem that difficult to me. Why would the white citizens want to place themselves in harms way just because Brigetts brother builds condos, Fuller wants to build waterparks and you are trying to salvage old money property.

Downtown Alexandria is dead and the sooner everyone realizes that the better off we will all be. Downtown will never come back no matter how much money is pumped into the ghetto.

First, we should agree that the merits of a particular project are a matter of perspective.

My perspective is this: Focus on projects that facilitate economic development and create jobs. That's what we need.

Our median household income is half of the national average, and our home ownership rates are terrible. As Union Tank Car proved, we also suffer from a lack of a skilled labor force. This is all part of the same dynamic: Our lack of skilled labor means a lower median household income, which means lower home ownership rates, which creates more blight.

I believe government should work to solve those problems, which, in my humble opinion, precludes a hands-off, laissez-faire approach. The problem with an unchecked free market is that businesses will always seek ways to avoid taxes and minimize costs, which means decreasing tax bases within municipalities and spreading out costs as cities must keep up with their expanding infrastructures (See also: suburban sprawl).

A more reasonable approach, I believe, would be to work with private industries to create synergistic alliances. This could (and often does) include tax breaks (music to the capitalist's ears) and other incentives, geared toward keeping business within the city, increasing job opportunities, and increasing our overall quality of life.

I could keep writing, but I'd enjoy reading your response first.

Lamar, a few revelations: A free market is by definition unchecked. Avoiding taxes means keeping what you earn and not letting "well meaning, I know better than you what to do with your money" steal it from you. And the person who produces the money may be a better judge of how it will benefit whomever. He might think it better to use it to fund his kids education than to improve an intrastructure that he disaproves of. And Lamar, you speak of Louisiana's plight. Nothing could prove my point more. New Orleans in particular being the best example of the welfare state incarnate. Our state is the most socialistic of all and has proceeded down this path since the civil war and especially since the Kingfish, the man who would have pushed the country even more socialistic than FDR. New Orleans is an example of what happens when we condone a welfare state. You know, the producers will just leave if you keep stealing a larger and larger portion of their production. Remember, the wealth they accumulate, they put back into the economy by buying stocks, providing employment, buying more goods etc. exponentially. You can't have synergist alliances between two entities when one has a gun. What does the govt have to offer but the ability to confiscate the individuals wealth by force. Free trade is the biggest boon to the poor and uneducated, just like Union Tank Car is training many to have productive jobs. If the govt was in the shoe business, a pair would be $3,000, you could have one pair a year and they wouldn't fit. Look what Gates did and how many jobs he created and what he did for the world. He forced no one, and gave the world so much for free. The govt takes, it does not give and what ever is left to give to the peons is stolen money anyway. And when businesses minimize taxes they use this money to increase quality of products, lower costs, increase wages, hire new people and on and on. When govt steals more in the form of taxes, businesses must fire people, increase cost of their products, etc. Simple economics, but fact. In the history of the world, the closer to complete capitalism a culture became, the more free and healthy in every way, physically, mentally and economically. Any way you cut it, without all the smoke and mirrors, capitalism is the only economic system that works, period and the further from it we wander the worse everyone's plight. Except of course the govt boys.

Let's see if I understand American freedom and liberty. Independence, but not for the South. Freedom to drive the Hawiian queen from her throne and steal that country from its people. Freedom to take the entire Southwest from Mexico, after starting a War with them for that purpose. Taking Puerto Rico from Spain and keeping it for ourselves. Forcing children upon a bus to drive past their neighborhood school to one across town. Great freedom and liberty to brag about, no doubt.

I think we're talking about two related yet entirely different issues: Government projects that actually help facilitate economic development and create jobs. AND a welfare state that only serves to maintain a stagnant status quo.

Our difference lies in our understanding of why government exists.

So let me pose these questions:

Do you believe that in free market capitalism, the strong survive?

Do you believe that those who cannot independently provide for themselves-- the disabled, the elderly, the infirm, the impoverished- are at a disadvantage when participating in this system?

And relatedly, do you believe that we as taxpayers have a responsibility to help those less fortunate?

The problem is not necessarily with the ideology behind this system of governance; the problem is with those who take advantage of this system.

It's those who falsely claim to be disabled, infirm, and/or impoverished; they take advantage of our system. And yes I agree, too often, government is an accomplice to the status quo.

Yes, New Orleans is a prime example of a "welfare state" and one we should never hope to see again, but probably will. Why? Because people get trapped in a system. A system that despite being in a capitalist nation refuses to pay a living wage instead of a minimum wage. A system that has the best health care system in the world and the most people uninsured and unable to access that same system.

We cannot totally accept the concepts of a free market because there is still a need for social programs - sorry, but that's the sad truth.

It is true that in many areas business and industry can do things much better than their public counterparts. Education is one of them. Workforce training is one of them. BUT it takes both the public and the private working together to achieve the goals at hand.

It also takes the willingness of the individuals on the receiving end of that social program to move forward and upward. There will always be people who are going to be unemployed. There will always be people on welfare. Why? Because they choose to be and we can't change that. So Liberty or Death what is your answer for them? Lock them away? Stop giving them a hand-out? What?

UTLX's training program is a public-private partnership. They are not doing this on their own. I truly have forgotten how much perception is reality.

Yes, they are having to train workers. BUT it was not because we didn't have a workforce here to begin with. We had skilled workers. What happened? Two hurricanes to start with. Welders can name their price in the Gulf. What else? This wonderful government ran education system we have here under the name of public education graduated people who can't pass math and reading tests? It's 2006 and Johnny still can't read. People who graduated in 1980 can't read! We're teaching tests so students can score high on the Iowa or high on the LEAP and the reality is they still can't function when the graduate.

To make things simple, capitalism is responsible for freedow which results in better conditions for all and government which is anti-freedom rules by force and stagnates the progress of the individual and creates the conditions you mention so frequently. You mention education which has declined the more the govt has controlled it. Private education will always give the best return on your money. Just like any other business, it will be less expensive, more productive, safer, and much more advanced. Take the restraints off private industry and watch it take off. If you think that the poor are better off with the govt taking care of them, look a little closer and see the squalor and dead end conditions they live in. The govt keeps them down so that they look to the govt leaders and give them votes to receive the govt's largesse. Jesse Jackson, Nagin, Dollar Bill Jefferson. Capitalism took the poor from dying in wretched conditions, watching their children die from starvation to working in poor conditions for small wages, but increased the lifestyle and allowed to "live" and to continue to prosper. Capitilism is life, government is death. Taxpayers are workers who have their money stolen from them and when you add it up with income {local and state) property, business, sales tax etc, well over half of their production is taken by the govt. They are not obligated to the govt. It is the govt who was supposed to be obligated to you. If you want to help the poor, do so. You have no right to steal my money to make yourself feel better by redistributing it. That is what churches and other private charities can do with their "VOLUNTERY" contributions. Will discuss wages later, gotta go. Remember this discussion started by asking Roy specifically how he was going to change the status quo and was he leaning to a more free market approach. Haven't got an answer yet.

Bull Shit. Pure capitalism without government control results in pure greed. Remember sweat shops? Remember the Ford Pinto, which Ford knew would kill people?
Unfortunately, we overreact to situations and swing the pendalum too far the other way. Seldom do reactionaries find a common sense middle ground. But some laws and controls are needed, because people throughout history have shown that they are general animals and will run wild.

I'm thinking that Snarley identifies this accuser as a well-know republican lady. She, like the accused poster, is making a number of insulting assumptions without information on which to base same. You obviously adore the Liberty or Death viewpoint because it agrees with yours. I don't know the parties involved but I everyone is correct: 8:16 is a decerning liberal and Liberty or Death is a P H O N E Y. In your obviously narrow view of things, I bet you think that being liberal is worse. That tells us something. Snarky is as Snarky does.

If you have a point or the capability to enter in an adult discussion, you are invited, otherwise you are just taking up space here and elsewhere. I can only surmise that you, in your obvious disgust with one who espouses the virtues of capitalism, are an ardent defender of the socialistic, collectivist, dictatorial governments of most of the countries of the world. But of course I wouldn't know, because you attack the man rather than the idea. Hmmmmmm! I on the other hand have found the defenders of capitalism to be self made men and those with the silver spoon birthright are quite generous with the workers money.

As to the person wrongly accused of being BL, I realize that I must have somehow been mistaken (wink, wink) and you meant snarly and not snarky. I assumed you meant snarky because snarly would not fit any rational thought or message and I assumed since you were savy enough to use a computer, it might be lack of typing skill instead of impaired language skill. But of course, you meant snarly, which is totally nonsensical, but then, who am I to judge.

Mexico is just one example of a capitalist nation which doesn't work well. There are parts working okay - but primarily because those states have been so Americanized and basically because they have kicked out all of the "ethnic" groups. (The state of Nuevo Leon where Monterey is located comes to mind.)

If you truly want to exam an ecomonic disaster look at Russia. When the USSR left its communist control and broke into independent capitalist countries the citizens were no better off than before. Their "class" social system still existed. Their army wasn't getting paid so they began to sell off weaponry on the black market - and I believe we're all seeing the result of that!

Every economic theory - Marxism, Lenonism, Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, whateverism has flaws. They all must have checks and balances to work.

Mexico has been a dictatorship for hundreds of years, which is why they have crossed our borders to reap the benefits of the most capitalist country of the world. With the help of the USA and its businesses they are moving in the direction of economic stability but still have a long way to go. The advances they have achieved over the last 25 yrs can be attributed to capitalism. Read Robert Rubins' book and you will see what has transpired since his term as Sec of the Treasury under Clinton. I have never heard the words capitalism and Mexico related before, and if there were problems in Mexico, I've never ever heard them attributed to capitalism as that is why a million folks a year are crossing our border. They are escaping the oppression of a socialistic society and seeking freedom here.

I am a Republican, but consider myself a moderate. I disagree with much of the capitalism arguments of Liberty, but this morning the Town Talk come out in favor of more government intrusion into our lives.
The Town Talk favors licensing, for a fee, our pets. It also says we should spay or neauter our pets.
I have had my dog for 14 years. He still has all of the original equipment God provided him with, yet he lives in my house and fenced in back yard and has produced no offspring. If he and I accomplish this, then so can anyone else, and without government interference.
The problem comes from the lack of enforcement of the animal laws we already have in existence. If the City can not efficiently enforce those that already exist, how can it enforce another one. No this will not solve any pet problems, it will simply cost responsible pet owners another tax. Pull your head out of your liberal ass Town Talk.

Dear moderate republican. I too have a dog with all of his standard equipment and he lives inside and will sire no progeny however he does show a strong attraction for my brother-in-law's leg. The point is that people who are responsible loving pet owners like you and I don't present the problem. The fact that you an many others are careful considerate drivers does not mean that we don't need speed limits to address those who are not.

Anything that will make it more onerous on the people who let their pets roam free or keep 6 of them chained in thier 10 X 12 yard is fine with me. We kill 9,000 of those poor creatures a year. We jerk their head up and cram a huge needle in their hearts. That doesn't mention the dozens of companion animals run over and maimed or killed every day. I am not a liberal but it breaks my heart.

The strategy goes like this. Heitmeier is out of the race and there are no well funded democrats left to fund and drive a GOTV effort for the minority community so it will be up to the moderate and conservative white voters to decide mayor. Delores thinks she can get her share of those. Delores thinks she is attracting the lion's share or Roosevelt's white following. That would do it.

Fellow bloggers, The late and crazy John K. Snyder found that the city was killing stray animals by putting them in a cinder block room with a pipe running out of it. The would back the dog catcher's truck up to the pipe hooking the exhaust pipe to it and let the motor run until all the animals in the room were dead. Even though he was crazy he put a stop to this cruelty. I have to give the devil his due.

Those same 9,000 animals would wind up in the animal shelter! Why???? Use your own logic. The only persons who would pay the $5-50 license fee are the RESPONSIBLE owners. You know, the ones who keep their animals in fenced yards or inside, who take them to the vet each year for rabies shots - which by the way - GETS THEM A TAG WITH AN ID NUMBER!!!!!! The same irresponsible pet owners would NOT pay the license fee, allow their animals to run around the neighborhood, over breed and then wind up at the shelter unclaimed.

There is no answer for this problem. The cycle will continue unless the current laws are enforced PERIOD!

Liberty -
According to your theory, any country with a centralized form of government is a dictatorship. OK, then I guess everyone is living in its own little dicatatorship. The US has a centralized government in the Federal Government which imposes laws upon our individual lives as well as our business lives. Add to that each state has its own centralized government which imposes more laws on us individually and as business persons. And wait, then we get to counties or parishes as well call them and onto cities. Geez - we're really getting hammered with the laws around here!

Mexico is no more a dictatorship that the US in its current form of government. I don't know where you have studied, but it is obviously the same place that believes John Glenn walking on the moon was all a big fake. In a dictatorship, people don't vote. In a dictatorship, the ruling power appoints all persons who rule in each part of the goverment and controls everything. Guess what????? In Mexico, each state holds it own elections. They have a parliament - much like our own Congress. And guess what???? If they don't agree with the President - just like in the US - NOTHING GETS DONE. They sit and bicker and NOTHING HAPPENS. There is no reform, there is no economic package, nothing moves the country forward.

Mexico has made great strides over the past few decades. Its people have come to realize the power of their votes. Unfortunately, many people in the US don't have a clue what a privilege it is to vote. We take it for granted.

Liberty is not being honest - he is passive/aggressive. He wants to talk about liberty and freedom and capitalism but his real message is about resentment. Somebody, probably 3 generations back, worked hard for his money and now he has to pay all these taxes so that lazy new orleans negros and illegal mexicans can send their kids to a decent school and get basic medical care. The evil of socialism is that he is forced to share his good fortune and ancestral success with poor folks who are shiftless and don't speak english and want to marry his daughter. So you can beat the subject to death but he will never understand the moral strength that is America. He would fare better and be happier in Mexico where social programs are virtually nonexistant and if you can't earn or steal a subsistance, you die. And of course he will never admit his selfish feelings because he is P H O N E Y.

We're talking a lot of apples and oranges. Capitalism is an economic system and does not need a govt to exist. Our govt was designed for the purpose of protecting its citizens individual right by three methods; militia(army) from outside invaders, police from internal criminals and courts of law. No mention of any income taxes or other methods of theft. The govt was a republic and this was the closet capitalism existed in its purist form. There are many different kinds of govts (from very limited to complete dictatorship) The essence of the discussion is whether capitalism is the only economic system that provides the freedom necessary for all to succeed. I think the farther one moves from the laissez-faire principles, the lower the standard of living in every way becomes. I bet incidentally if we are attempting to conclude peoples position in the community by their postings here, then PHONEY is probably a low level govt bureaucrat whose job was obtained through political favor and he/she is just feeling inferior having obtained his income from money stolen from workers in the private sector. He knows in his heart and mind that no argument exist for opinions so he must resort to other methods.

I certainly do believe she has every right to defend herself. When I was kid, we used to have rock fights. When we came home crying, my mom would ask " were you throwing rock too? Well, what are you crying about? If you weren't throwing rocks, how were you in a rock fight? Quit crying." The point is that Delores got trumped because the person she threw rocks at had a bigger rock and it evidently hit home with the voters. Maybe she is too nice to be mayor with the current city council if she cannot see a sucker punch coming.If I have to explain the knife to a gun fight deal, maybe you shouldn't accept any duel offers.

reminds me of story about an operator of a nearby brothel. daily the madam would make cash deposits at her bank. when the snooty banker asked how was business, she replied: business is great; you got it, you sell it; you still got it.

so why shouldn't there be multiple sales of votes that can't and won't be delivered?

rut roh! lamar is reporting delores' camp has yet to respond to his request of a debate open to the public. i'm sure it is just an administrative snafu and as soon as delores realizes the mistake she will call roy to work out the details for the debate.

Lamar is going to do anything he can to insure Roy is elected. Then watch the funds start flowing to Lamar's little projects - Bringhurst Golf Course, revitilize downtown, etc.

Lamar will be the first hog at the trough when Roy takes office.

God forbid we let someone with creativity, a genius mind & a sincere love for his hometown get involved. Who the hell else is jumping on the Bringhurst deal?
Are they just lining up for that?

Zoning here. Still sponsoring that number 8 car. Figure I should have a hood ad by now. Course not many can handle high test - big engines need high test. After all 6 million brothers can't be wrong. If they know anything they know their beer. You red necks keep drinking that old mil light.
Wonder how many malts a long necker has?

Head aches are a results of constricted blood vessels. High Blood Pressure medication dilates (right word?) the blood vessel in order to lower blood pressure. Always takes your blood pressure pill before serious zoning.

However never sone if your pregnant (if you are it is not mine) never operate heavy machinery or drive. So you can zone while attempting to impregnate and most folks don't drive or operate heavy machiner while begating.

Wonder what zone zanax, blood pressure medicine and king of beers will put you in?

No one else is desirous of operating the ghetto golf course. If the folks that operated it for 50 years gave up on it what makes boy wonder think he is going to make a go off it. He isn't just looking for a position at the trough.

Why would Lamar be calling Delores' HQ to demand a debate? Is he an official agent for Roy? He has really diminished his image with all of this meddling. I guess he just desparately wants to feel as if he's a part of something.

Anyone find this irnonic: "In 1983, Ned Randolph was defeated in an upset in the primary for reelection to the state senate by fellow Democrat William Joseph "Joe" McPherson, Jr., of Pineville, across the Red River from Alexandria. McPherson, who is still the state senator, was supported by both Congressman Gillis Long and Edwin Washington Edwards, who was making a successful bid in that same election for a third term in the governor's office."

anon, you misread my post or i wasn't very clear. "Why would Lamar be calling Delores' HQ to demand a debate?" lamar reported ROY had requested the debate, not that lamar had made the request.

I predict that Delores will avoid an actual public debate at all costs. If her handlers let her get in the ring with Jacques they should be prosecuted for attempted murder. It's a gigantic mismatch. Roy is gifted at speaking, addressing issues, and contrasting his positions from hers. Delores is simply bad at any public speaking that goes beyond the coffee klatch or the canned address. It doesn't appear to be lack of skill. She simply doesn't know what is going on and it shows big.

The conventional wisdom is that the encumbant or the front runner not debate the other party but that would not apply here. Jacques would be both the home team and the obvious victor.

Anonymous said...

. . . . and, I predict that Delores won't decline a debate invite because that would be too telling. She will find conflicts and family tragedy and complications that will prevent her from actually making it to the microphone. Watch.

maybe delores can get roy fletcher to stand in for her.

Who won the Kenneth Doyle School board race lawsuit this morning?

Doyle withdrew his challenge. Davis will represent District H.

Did Doyle contest the race 4 years ago because of Hurricane Rita?

" Saw this on the Ethics Board agenda:

G11. Docket No. 04-416
Consideration of a consent opinion concerning Wes Hebron, a former member of the Rapides Parish Waterworks District, participating in matters before such board involving his brother, Roy Hebron.

I thought all of this had been dismissed? What more is to come"

Bogus complaint against Wes Hebron, not his brother Roy Hebron. It will be dismissed...

Brewer calls press conference for 2:30 p.m. today in Alexandria mayoral campaign

Alexandria mayoral candidate Delores Brewer has called a press conference for 2:30 p.m. today to make an announcement regarding her campaign.

The press conference will be at 2:30 p.m. at her headquarters on Jackson Street at Hill Street.

Brewer will face Jacques Roy in a Nov. 7 runoff. The winner will succeed New Randolph, a five-term mayor who did not seek re-election.

Roy finished first and Brewer finished second in a seven-candidate primary election on Sept. 30.

Check back on The Town Talk's Web site, www.thetowntalk.com, later today for coverage of the press conference.
