Little Rock Mayor lies about membership of the Committee to Rebuild the Rock

www.rebuildtherock.com


On July 23rd, a local paper ran a story about the "Rebuild the Rock" sales tax initiative and quoted the feckless Little Rock mayor about members of the group pushing the tax and funding efforts to promote it.

The mayor told the paper that there were five members of that group.

That was a lie. There are actually six members listed on the required form submitted to the Arkansas Ethics Commission, and the mayor is the sixth member.



Why would he lie about something like that? 

Perhaps it's a conflict of interest and possibly illegal.

You can see that a flyer the group has mailed out looks exactly like the city of Little Rock's own web page. 

You will notice that the URL for the group is listed as www.RebuildTheRock21.com.

They have to use that URL because WE own the domains named RebuildTheRock.

The use of the phrase RebuildTheRock is problematic for several reasons (more on that in another post) as the city uses the same graphics as the LQC group does.
 

 
The city and the LQC using the same phrase and graphics is extremely problematic.
 
Generally, a local government is prohibited from expending funds in support or against a ballot measure.

According the the Arkansas Ethics Commission, the LQC is required to file a contribution and expenditure report by August 15th. We will be thoroughly examining that report. 
 
We have sent a FOI request to the city to obtain records regarding any document that reflects, mentions or concerns the phrase or term Rebuild the Rock.
 
More to follow.

Was ASP Trooper Billy Martin trying to pull all 3 sisters?   In January 2019, Callie Hinson and Joseph Ramer began dating.

  On August 7, 2024, during a nude modeling photo session at the House of Art in North Little Rock a female model claims she was sexually assaulted by Leron McAdoo. 108 E 4th St, North Little Rock, AR McAdoo is a teacher at the Little Rock School District Dr. Marian G. Lacey K-8 Academy.  This is his self-published biography.  We were made aware of the incident after seeing her post on social media.   After the incident the victim made a police report with the North Little Rock Police Department that provided the same information.

That case ended up in Federal Court and was agreed by the parties to be dismissed. Did LRSD payoff the alleged victim? Stay tuned for updates. ### The 7th Street Mural Project has removed a painting on McAdoo they had on that corridor.  A post on their Facebook page mentioned other complaint...
