If one is inclined to observe a committee meeting of the Caddo Commission, you should probably go in person versus attend to stream live or replay the stream.
The three committee meetings on Monday evidenced the need for microphones in front of all the people at the conference room table—commissioners, guests, and staff.
It was difficult to hear several speakers, especially Caddo Administrator Erica Bryant and Caddo Parish Attorney Donna Frazier—live, and even more so on the stream.
Yesterday’s committee meeting featured some microphones with NO audio on the stream. Thus, if a citizen attempted to stream the meeting it was a total waste of time.
Reported the audio hiccup will be resolved for the next round of meetings which may include another SPD funding request by mayoral candidate commissioner John-Paul Young. If that is the case, go early because there are only five seats for the public.
John came to Shreveport in January of 1977 when he was transferred to Barksdale AFB.
He’s been active in Shreveport politics since deciding to make Shreveport his home.
John practiced law for 40 years and he now monitors local politics. He regularly attends Shreveport City Council and Caddo Parish Commission meetings.
John is published weekly in The Inquisitor, bi-monthly in The Forum News, and frequently in the Shreveport Times.
He enjoys addressing civic groups on local government issues and elections.
