A friend of many years used to opine that the biggest problem with adolescents was their absence of forethought, the lack of a little critical thinking skill that often resulted in sometimes “surprising” ramifications of ill-considered actions.  Fortunately, most adolescents develop that critical thinking skill after suffering a couple of unpleasant ramifications.

Let’s hope the same is true for a majority of the Bossier City Council, whose first test of the recently enacted city hiring/salary/promotion ordinance was so poorly demonstrated at Tuesday’s council meeting.

Over in Bossier City, budget problems and layoffs among city employees and police officers and fire personnel could result in opposition for city council members there, although the election is still three years away.

Sammy Wyatt, a Republican and a retired Bossier City police officer, told the Fax-Net that he is already being contacted by many citizens urging him to run.  Consequently, he says he is casting an eye at the District 4 seat currently held by Republican David Jones.

Parish wide zoning is coming, and according to one Police Juror, there's nothing we can do about it. I thought we lived in a Democratic society. What happened to the Vote? With Parish wide zoning, we will loose control of our land and homes to a governing body that doesn't have our interest at heart.

If you've ever been in the Police Jury Chambers, there's a sign that reads, "Of the people, by the people and for the people". This sign should be removed, as the Police Jury doesn't seem to care about nor are they listening to what "the people" of the Parish want.
