Snarky Media Report

Tonight at the LRBOD agenda meeting, at-large director Joan Adcock brought up the matter of the ineligible Ward 2 candidate Valerie Tatum. This is a video of the limited discussion.  Instead of doing the right thing and instructing city attorney Tom Carpenter to take legal action, they sat their on their fat asses and said nothing. Don't fret troubled citizens, for several resident of Ward 2 are filing a lawsuit tomorrow and will do what the board is afraid to do. Expect more details tomorrow. If you thought things could not get any crazier, wait until you see Tatum's Campaign Contribution and Expenditure report.   Tatum self-reports three illegal contributions that were in excess of permitted amounts to the tune of over $17,000 and failed to detail expenditures in excess of $34,000. U nder Arkansas laws, individuals, political parties, county party committees, legislative caucus committees, and approved political action committees can contribute no more than $2,700 per cand

Records obtained from a sources connected to Little Rock City Hall have leaked emails that indicated members of the Little Rock Board of Directors conducted meetings via email and text messages in violation of Arkansas laws. Now those board members are panicking and fighting release of those emails and text messages sought in a Freedom of Information request made by the publisher of this blog. An appeal of denial of rights under the AFOIA is being filed today and the board members will be sued as individuals and in their official capacity. They will be served notice of the action at tonight's agenda meeting.  How many of them will skip the meeting tonight to avoid service? The matter of the disputed candidacy of Ward 2 candidate Valerie Tatum is what was discussed in the "electronic meetings" of the board. Topic of discussion was whether the city should take legal action to have Tatum disqualified and if a special called board meeting should take place to deal with the ma

Have you been blocked from commenting on a city director's social media?  If so contact us as we are exploring filing a lawsuit against each director that has blocked us from posting comments. Courts have ruled that public officials cannot block individuals from commenting on social media pages. A public official in Arkansas has been sued this month for doing just that. All sitting board members except Erma Hendrix, have accepted funds from  a Chamber of Commerce affiliated and fronted Political Action Committee. This seems sketchy as the board has voted time and time again to hand over around $300k a year to the CoC for the past decade for "economic development" with little or no accountability for how the funds were spent. Many directors, including Doris Wright and B.J. Wyrick have taken contributions from organizations like the Realtors Association PAC that fights equitable landlord/tenant laws yet they claim they support tenant rights. Does the NRA give funds to cand

KENTON TREMAR BUCKNER - LITTLE ROCK POLICE CHIEF (2014-2018*) * If Buckner does not get the job in Syracuse, word from City Manager Bruce Moore is his days are numbered here.  As we did for the citizens of Charleston back in February, as a public service to the citizens of Syracuse, we offer 10 things you need to know about the individual the citizens of Little Rock hopes and prays is your next police chief. 1. Kenton Tremar Buckner believes that the majority of crime is caused by people of color in Little Rock. He said the same thing when in Louisville, KY. Buckner's comment drew the ire of the Racial Diversity & Cultural Commission. Buckner had a contentious meeting with them and demanded a letter grade.  They gave him a 'F". Click here and here for details. 2. Kenton Tremar Buckner believes that his decisions are not to be questioned by anyone, including city leadership and if they do so it is "dangerous". 3. Kenton Tremar Buckner believes that laws do n

We broke the news today that befouled LRPD Police Chief Kenton Tremar Buckner is one of the 6 finalist for the chief's job in Syracuse, NY. Our reaching out to Charleston, SC officials and this pos t, was instrumental to them telling Buckner he was not going to get the job. Buckner tried to spin it and "withdrew" his application.   A Charleston newspaper reported that Buckner's problems in Little Rock were a huge factor in his not being selected. We will soon post an updated version of our "10 things you need to know about Kenton Tremar Buckner" for our friends in Syracuse. We and our content sharing partner, Corruption Sucks blog , had seen an increase in traffic on our sites from servers in the Syracuse area. We found that Syracuse was hiring and checking with sources led to us being the first media outlet to get the story out. More to follow....stay tuned.  

We broke the story about  rogue LRPD officer Brandon "Butterball" Johnson and his alleged sexual assault of DWI suspect.   We also broke the story about Butterball's arrest for violating an order of protection.   Based on the email from city attorney Tom Carpenter, we now know for certain that video/audio exists of the alleged assault from the patrol vehicle MVR. As usual, LRPD refuses to release it so we will make another trip to Circuit Court and win yet another case against befouled LRPD Chief Kenton Tremar Buckner.  

LRPD OFFICERS EBONEY AND JOHN WARREN, JR. We were first to identify rookie LRPD officer Eboney Warren as the officer that apparently ran a stop sign at Charles Bussey and Maple striking a car driven by a mother and her three children Monday evening. According to witnesses, the rookie did not have her lights or siren activated. LRPD disputes this. We will have to wait and see what the MVR recordings from the vehicle reveal.   Take a look at a video made of the accident scene by an eyewitness. We discovered that the Warren's might be in a pickle with LRPD Administration in that they filed to pay their state income tax when due and the Department of Finance & Administration recently filed a lien against both of them. Records on file at the Pulaski County Circuit Clerk's Officer reflect the past due taxes have not been paid. The pair makes a nice income from LRPD. Add income from off-duty employment and they have above average income for Arkansas. One wonders why they would ris
