What did/does it mean? November 8, 2018
In yesterday’s edition of the Times Record, reporter Max Bryan wrote a summation of the political race between incumbent Justin Boyd and Luke Pruitt for the position of State Representative, District 77.
The curiosity was Bryan’s statement mid-article “He was endorsed by Sebastian Sheriff Bill Hollenbeck and First National Bank President Sam Sicard prior to the election”.
What was/is the significance of the sentence mentioning the above two individuals? It is common knowledge that Sicard & Richard Griffin are the co-Dons of the downtown swamper’s cabal, accompanied by a plethora of lieutenants.
The most curious point is why they’re names were posted as endorsers of Rep. Boyd AFTER the election.
Does it mean that Sicard is making citizens aware that he and Griffen have initiated Rep. Boyd & Sheriff Hollenbeck into their downtown power group? Hollenbeck, the public schools’ new police czar, seems to put the Fort Smith school district squarely at the feet of Swamp’s two Don’s, making the public school district larger and subject to more funding and corruption, certainly not a boost for academics.
The election changed nothing. The same enablers and politicians own the game and the economic destiny for Fort Smith which has been beached for decades due to cronyism—a protection racket: Observe.
With the new found school millage, public school spending is poised to run amok, e.g. new police czar Hollenbeck—what are his pay & perks and how many new government sycophants will be employed, and the cost to taxpayers? There are many more effective means to protect the children from harm.
This is a conditioning process and instills the belief that there must be some sort of uniformed agency in every facet of our lives.
