LR City Director Doris Wright refuses to offer aid or comfort to a fellow board member at the April 6, 2021 Board of Directors meeting. She runs away as other board members and city employees rush to help.     Video from the local ABC affiliate confirms that Wright ran away without offering any assistance. We are surprised she left her snacks on the table. Maybe that's why she came back.

Russ Racop - April 3, 2021   A year ago we were the first news media agency to report that the LRPD police chief had been and was being sued for unpaid credit card debts. You can read that report by clicking here . On February 4th,  LVNV Funding, LLC , filed a Petition for Indebtedness in the District Court of Cleveland County in Norman, OK, the official residence of the Little Rock Police chief. They are suing for $12,217,13 that Humphrey owed SoFi Lending Corp.       Like in the three previous debt lawsuits filed and won against Humphrey, his attorney filed a boilerplate denial.      LRPD has a General Order in place about employees conduct. It is often cited in disciplinary actions against sworn and civil employees.   LRPD also has Rules & Regulations that specifically deal with payment of debts and obligations.   How can the feckless mayor keep his chief with his financial problems when his actions violate his own departmental...

Is PCSSD a shitty district, with shitty leadership and shitty teachers?   Russ Racop - March 30, 2021 On March 5th Karla Lasiter, a kindergarten teacher at Crystal Hill Elementary school, forced a Black five year old student to unclog a poop and toilet paper filled commode using his bare hands. The student's family complained and Lasiter was removed from the classroom and quickly resigned in an attempt to make the matter go away. We sent a Freedom of Information request to the school district... and as usual, they were extremely unwilling to comply with the requirements of the AFOIA.   ... and as usual, they were extremely unwilling to comply with the requirements of the AFOIA.   We waited another three days and sent another email. The PCSSD failed to provide the materials in the statutory time.  They blamed it on the departure of Jill Clark, a communications legal associate for the district. PCSSD is still fuming over me providing damaging testimony against them in ...

Feckless Frank is not a fan of transparency and open records Russ Racop - March 25, 2021   For some time now we have been investigating allegation of Ward 6 City Director Doris Wright getting involved in personnel matters at the West Central Community Center that she thinks is her personal property.  We have a document heavy post coming in the next week or so that will detail her involvement in hiring and firing of city employees and other shady actions. Part of the investigation we have completed was interviewing former and current city employees. In conjunction with our investigation, we sent a FOI request to the Feckless Mayor regarding a former employee. We received this response today. Missing from the scant records they provided was the following letter.       Why didn't the mayor, city manager, HR and Park directors provide this record in response to our request? What other ones are they hiding?  You'll have to wait for that explosive post.   ...
