Accepting gifts and favors is aboslutely prohibited by the Code of Ethics. If he is being paid by the Aces, Louisiana Colllege or radion station, while at the same time his City is spending several thousands per year with them in advertising, may also be unethical. So if you want your government officials to abide by the law and not use their positions for personal profit, it is a big deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772573397620786539.post-54159556248900188732007-04-25T12:04:00.000-05:002007-04-25T12:04:00.000-05:00Hey, it's Nick Mikulas in the KALB weather center....Hey, it's Nick Mikulas in the KALB weather center. Just a quick note on why we didn't issue the tornado watch over textcaster. The threat of dangerous weather was not imminent at the time the watch was issued. This morning has been a good learning experience with how we will use textcaster in the event of severe weather, and after a brief discussion, a decision was made that we will let folks know about tornado and severe thunderstorm watches via text message. Originally, I thought we might just text message for severe weather warnings so we wouldn't be innundating folks with text messages. Upon further review it seems one quick message directing you to KALB or kalb.com would be a good way to let you all know of a possible threat, and give an avenue to get more information. Thanks for the input!<BR/><BR/>NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772573397620786539.post-24763405172529802512007-04-25T11:16:00.000-05:002007-04-25T11:16:00.000-05:00Michele, just wanted to mention that a tornado wat...Michele, just wanted to mention that a tornado watch was issued for Rapides Parish at about 9:00 a.m. this morning (Wednesday 4/25/07) until 5 this afternoon and KALB never sent a text message out on this hazardous weather development.

No doubt knowing that we will never hear of political corrpution from the local newsmedia, is why the Dupree information was released on a blog. By not investigating and reporting such stories, the media fails to provide an important and informative public service. We cannot rely upon the media anymore, to keep us abreast of politics. Right or wrong, we now look at the local media as a mere propoganda arm of the establishment, not a separate "estate".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
