Bossier Watch Show 312: Zoinks!

Pick it up, Mr. Lowry.

all right all right and by all means if you need a little tech help uh creating a meme or stirring

the pot

that guy on the other side of the screen of me right there he's your guy i promise but so okay so the the public meetings you know statement or whatever I mean, this thing wasn't really a public meeting.

I take a little bit of issue with that.

They had meetings with the local business owners to put out their ideas and to talk about it and debate and haggle.

And I heard a whisper or two about a couple of those meetings.

It wasn't like a formal meeting of a regular council meeting where they were voting to take action.

So there weren't no legal requirements really for them to put that out there.

No, there weren't.

So I think people making hay of that is kind of wrong.

All right.

And so maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe so.

And you're completely correct.

The council wasn't taking any formal action until the council meeting where they started taking formal action.

I'd like to point that out.

The September, beginning of September meeting, what was it, the first or second or whatever date, they absolutely took some formal action.

Remember, they almost had a cheerleading session for Chris Smith and Rocky Rocket and what's his name, Basada.

So you would think that they would have had some sort of town hall, whether it was official or unofficial, that they would have advertised to the public because they were acting like Nobody else was going to be affected by this tax except the people in the district.

And that's complete BS.

If you go down there and spend money, you were going to pay an extra two percentage points, thus a 20% increase in the tax rate.

You were going to spend that.

And I like the oysters at the frozen P-Rog down there.

Well...
