Snarky Media Report

In March, we posted a story about the Little Rock Fire Department flagrantly violating parking laws for personal use. Click here to read it . LRFD Chief Gregory Summers assured us that he had addressed the issue.   LRFD CHIEF GREGORY SUMMERS Apparently he told his firemen that they could park anywhere, anytime, for any reason. We say that because on August 29th, we observed that his employees had parked a truck in a "no parking anytime" zone, within an intersection and right next to a fire hydrant on Polk Street just east on the Height Kroger store. Apparently it is a regular occurrence at the Height's Kroger for the Fire Department to break the law while shopping for groceries.  Search for "R and Polk Streets" on Google Earth street view and see what you find. This is what you will find, LRFD Engine 1 parked in a "no parking anytime zone", on the wrong side of the street!  What assclowns. Chief Summers did not respond to an email we sent and we don

CARLTON THOMAS SAFFA Governor Asa Hutchinson has made several appointments that call his judgement into question. One is Boyce Hamlet as ABC Enforcement Director   and Hamlet's friend and Republican stooge Carlton Saffa is another. Saffa, a Little Rock insurance broker was active as an unpaid advisor in Hutchinson’s campaign received the position as a pay-off. However, Saffa was under investigation by the Arkansas Insurance Department for unethical sales procedures at the time Hutchinson appointed him as an advisor for insurance matters with an annual salary of $90, 899.95 . Five days after he joined the governor's office, he terminated his contract with Washington National Insurance. He surrendered his insurance license in April 2015, the same month the legal division of the Insurance Department began investigating him.  In an Oct. 16, 2015 letter of reprimand, the department said Carlton Saffa provided confusing and misleading information on the status of old policies,

When tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet was appointed he made incredible statements to his staff that he would make ABC Enforcement the most elite and respected law enforcement agency in the state. Hamlet even boasted that ABC Enforcement was trying to be a better agency that the state police!    That is laughable considering that Hamlet's law enforcement career only exists because he hid his hiring and firing by the Arkansas State Police (for cheating on an exam and then lying multiple times to state police investigators) from employers and filed false documents with law enforcement certification agencies in Arkansas and Mississippi. And that fact was confirmed and pointed out by a circuit court judge who ordered the state to release the entire State Police investigation file on Hamlet. Despite all of Hamlet's rhetoric, the  Arkansas Tobacco Control agency has bested ABC Enforcement and it is head by a former grocer, Steve Goode .    Goode's salary is $95,05
