RECORDS SHOW THAT MAYOR SCOTT LIED ABOUT PAYMENT TO FIRM CONNECTED TO A STAFF MEMBER

IN APRIL MAYOR SCOTT  SAID THIS RECORD DID NOT EXIST WHEN WE SENT A FOI REQUEST FOR IT

For someone that campaigned on transparency, our autocratic, feckless and frightened mayor has proved that was all talk.

 
"I AM THE CEO AND CUSTODIAN OF RECORDS FOR THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK"


The latest proof of that came to light this week.

In a response to this FOI request...



Scott provided a response and we were surprised to the purchase order that was for the Critical Incident video.

We were surprised because we made a verbal FOI request back on April 9th seeking records regarding the cost to the city for the critical incident video (for the police shooting in late February) that was produced by the marketing company, The Design Group, which Mayor Scott stated he used during his campaign for office.

The city via it's FOI coordinator,  sent a response later that same day "Per the custodian there are no such records responsive to this request".

Mayor Frank Scott is the official custodian of all city records. All information flows through his office after he issued an edict to that effect.





The mayor did a similar thing when we sent an FOI request for records for his proposed budget changes. His response was no such records exited.

At a board meeting, he stated he did not release information to the media prior to the board meeting because he wanted city employees to hear his decisions about job cuts from him. We will follow on on this matter in an up coming post.

That is an admission that he violated the law. 

We are filing a criminal complaint against Mayor Scott regarding his wilful violation of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. Also, we are filing a civil lawsuit on the same violations. 

Should Scott be convicted of a criminal violation, he could be removed from office. In fact there is an opinion from the Arkansas Attorney General that outlines that. Click here to view the opinion.

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...
