Caddo Commission

The Caddo Commission will honor our area's fallen heroes Thursday morning at 10 at the Caddo Courthouse.

Caddo Commissioner Matthew Linn says, "my experience with Paul Elio is that whenever he's in town, he's asking for money."

Jerald Bowman praises some organizations, especially the Red Cross, but he adds that some groups that could lend assistance have only found out about the trouble.

Steven Jackson says the request for $2 million at a meeting with board member Linda Biernacki was a "serious ask" and "it was a very serious conversation."

KEEL's Robert J Wright and Erin McCarty ask, given the facility's checkered economic past, does it make sense to loan Sci-Port 2 million of your tax dollars?

Commissioner Linn gives update on Caddo Animal Services.

According to the Parish website, ownership of the land is not in question and, it's not the Caddo Commission, but the United Daughters of the Confederacy.

Steven Jackson also opines on what many think will be a lengthy court fight over ownership of small plot of land where the monument is located.

Middleton says the monument vote - if in favor - will open a Pandora's box of lawsuits that may take up to two years to settle.

The removal of the Confederate monument at the Caddo Courthouse is coming close to a reality after today's vote.
