The Caddo Commission work session yesterday turned into a circus—lead by ringmaster Stormy Gage-Watts who acted out in a big, big-time fashion.
The fact that neither the Parish attorney nor assistant attorney were present was unfortunate for many reasons.
Questions were raised about the payment of Commissioner’s Kracman attorney fees. The missing parish attorneys were certainly needed to answer that inquiry.
Many parliamentary questions could have been resolved if Frazier had been present.
Add to this the fact that Commissioner Victor Thomas acted illegally when he cut off the mike of Commissioner Grac Ann Blake.
The cherry on top of the chaos were the threats of Gage-Watts to evict Commissioner Blake.
The Commission’s regular meeting is Thursday. Come early and bring your popcorn.
