LAST TERM MAYOR STODOLA CAUGHT IN ANOTHER LIE - BOARD WILL VOTE TONIGHT TO BUMP UP HIS RETIREMENT BENEFITS

We posted back on November 9th that last term mayor Mark Stodola was seeking a bump in salary during his last weeks in office to reap higher retirement benefits.

You can read that post by clicking here.

Thanks to the Arkansas Times and Max Brantley's Arkansas blog, we learned late yesterday that a proposed ordinance is to be voted on at tonight's reconvened board meeting that would do just what we said and more.

In addition to the salary bump during Stodola's last weeks in office, if he kicks the bucket before his ailing wife, she will get widows benefits.

We have sent a request for records about the proposed ordinance and which board members have proposed it.

You do not want to miss watching the live stream of the reconvened board meeting on the city's YouTube channel tonight. It should prove painful for last term mayor Stodola.

By the way, chicken-shit last term mayor Stodola never followed up on that email request for all the times our publisher has been wrong.

Maybe he should use that city paid health insurance and get a testosterone booster to help his vanishing balls issue.

***UPDATE 12/11/18 10:23AM***

Human Resources Director Stacey Witherell has provided the smoking gun that proves last term mayor Mark Stolda is a lying piece of shit and needs to be run out of town on a rail after the public tars and feathers him.

A video of a part-time Dover, AR city marshal threatening a local business that went viral on social media, resulted in his termination of employment on October 1st. Here's the video.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...
