They, unlike some of the posters here, do not resort to name calling nor threats. I hope they have the heart to keep working towards finding answers, asking questions,and to continue to be brave enough to identify themselves. It is our critics who keep us on our toes. There are many who admire you regardless of the negative posters.

You can read it on my FB page, but in a nutshell Carl was the one I felt who was the most committed to a constitutional view of strict fiscal conservatism, & belief in following the limited statutorily defined role of the City Marshal. But, he also told me that he would continue the ICAC Task Force, and yes that did become very important to me. <br /><br />I don't know who you are, but you have insight that is rare in this comment section. Thank you for seeing my heart.<br /><br />Anon@ 4/3 9:11 p.m. Thx for the suggestion. Would you like to help?<br /><br />Anon 4/4 8:21 You are right, and I apologize for the implication that that the only prosecutorial authority in the ICAC was a singular D.A. I'm well aware that multiple prosecutorial authorities must be querried in regard to the fact-finding on task force arrests versus convictions. But I should have made that clearer. Maybe there is an explanation for the lack of convictions versus arrests. But I won't really know until I get additional data.<br /><br />To the others whose disdain for me knows no bounds - You may not like me or respect me, but I would hope that you could put aside any differences you have with me to support these ICAC Task Force officers who are literally sacrificing their souls to make these ICAC cases. I would work with any of you in this cause.

All of this is presented as true - not asking questions. Get off your high horse - admit you are a spin master - just like obama and team - just on the other side. Springer and Sciba did nothing but attempt to tear down Chief Austin during this campaign with nothing but half truths, innuendo and bald face lies. I have seen a pattern in Ms. Springer. She takes off half cocked - immediately forms an opinion and spews it on anyone who will listen and then says if you dont agree with her - you must be on the take. Same stunts she pulled in south Louisiana. As I said above - she is a cancer on our area and should be treated as such. She does not care about the truth. She only cares about tearing communities down with her distorted view of the world.

We are not "sheeple" (sheep people) where we follow the lead sheep arbitrarily without question. We are free thinkers, and being thus, we adhere to a different form of hierarchy. This is the difference between leaders and followers. Leaders will always question authority and good authority figures will always welcome questions about the decisions they make. This is the checks and balances within an organization. Our Government officials need to be aware that we are holding them to standards higher than ever before. We live in a Democratic society where we value our First Ammendment right of Free Speach. From the inception of our great country, our American Soldiers have given the ultimate sacrifice so we all are able to practice it. It is disheartening that only some practice it and not all.

That means that you didn't support him which means you support a man that has either 1,493 or 834 supporters... So, good job in laughing and pointing out that Lynn only has 2,719 supporters. <br /><br />To Evodna - Good for you for questioning Lynn and all the other things you patted yourself on the back for but the problem here is this, you clearly stand beside Sciba, NO MATTER WHAT, which is good for the two of yall. But don't ever expect anyone to credit you for what you do as long as you're hanging beside him. He's a Bossier City laughing stock, especially after all of his (non)research on Austin and friends. <br /><br />I don't care how many voters showed up, I care that enough voters showed up for a single candidate to win, and he won by more than 50%, so maybe it's time for Sciba to move along to a new profession because this digging and ratting out phase he's going through just isn't working for him or anyone else he involves. It's probably just something he's going through, he'll grow out of it eventually Im sure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-52825894014445304352011-04-04T11:19:50.540-05:002011-04-04T11:19:50.540-05:00Anon at 8:32 - what does that have to do with the ...Anon at 8:32 - what does that have to do with the subject at hand?Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927133938857523885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-77721047388793408902011-04-04T10:55:07.917-05:002011-04-04T10:55:07.917-05:00To Anon 7:39

Johnny Wyatt loved this city and this city loved Johnny. The office and deputies just wanted to carry on Johnny's legacy and work and they sought out Lynn because they felt he had the same vision as them and had the most experience. They also knew his style of "bossing" and had worked with him on joint projects. They asked around city employees, school board employees and police officers who had worked for Lynn. They felt that had confirmation for what his style of management was and sought him out to lead them. Some people will never believe it was just that simple and arms were not twisted, but those deputies are not politicians and do not play politics. <br /> We felt you and Matt endorsed a candidate that you did absolutely no homework on. I feel that at the end you probably realized that you had been fed a lot of untruths and had endorsed a candidate that was a real threat to the ICAC taskforce. He had no idea how it worked or understood the importance of that taskforce. <br /> I am so glad that you did have the opportunity to get to know Lynn and establish a dialouge. I can tell by your posting on the meeting with Rick Ware you walked away with a clearer picture and perhaps understand the love and dedication that office has for Bossier.
