Benton/Bossier Christmas Parade 2010

Biggest crowd I've seen for the festival so far, traffic and crowd seems well-managed by Benton PD.
Here are a few images I captured for you.

State Senator Robert Adley

Billy the Exterminator - I won't mention his close proximity to the politicians!

Nice Crowd

Bossier Sheriff Young Marines

No, he's not in trouble, just along for the ride.

I thought I had a good picture of Clerk of Court Cindy Johnston, but I cut off her head. 
How about Deputy Clerk Sissy Crouch, her head is intact.

Shreveport-Bossier Tea Party will be at Benton Town Council meeting tonight

Representatives of the Shreveport-Bossier Tea Party will be present tonight at 7PM for the meeting of the Benton Town Council at the Town Hall.

Benton Town Council will decide its 2010 millage tax during its 7 p.m. meeting tonight at the Benton Town Hall.
The Benton Town council is the next of several Bossier Parish government bodies to decide on its property tax millage.
So far only the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office chose to roll forward. Last Wednesday, Bossier Parish Police Jury decided to roll keeping with a decade long trend.
Along with deciding millage taxes, Vicki Case CPA with Cook and Morehart will deliver its 2009 Audit report and Town Council members will receive an update from Don Massad on its employee health insurance.
Town Council members will have a public hearing, then final decision on annexing the First Guaranty Subdivsion and Bella Terra Subdivision on Burt Boulivard, up on petition of owner. Benton Officials will also consider annexing land on Montgomery street, also upon petition by owner.
Town Concilmen will also have to decide whether or not Jerry Bordelon would be appointed to the Benton Fire Department Board of Commissioners.
Bordelon would join fellow commissioners Larry Chrisman, Richard Sullivant and Robert Roby.
