Day 1: Where in the world is Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover?

Shreveport Mayor Cedric B. Glover

Have you ever wondered what Shreveport Mayor Cedric B. Glover does all day? We here at The Times do.  


Of course, he's working on behalf of the city and I'm certain he's got plenty of appointments and meetings. But whom does he meet with and where does he go?


Knowing these details is more than idle curiosity. Being able to learn about the people the mayor meets with, or the organizations or businesses or cities he visits is vital to good government. 

It's one of the ways citizens can ensure their elected leaders are conducting the public's business openly, ethically. 

Elected officials interested in good government shouldn't have a problem making their calendars and/or schedules available for viewing. After all, they are public records. .

With that in mind, I sent a public records request to Mayor Glover yesterday asking for his schedule and calendar from January through August of this year. (I'm betting some appointments, meetings and travel already have been scheduled for the coming months.) 


I haven't heard from him yet. But I plan to follow up and share the results with readers. 


Today is Day 1. Who knows what Day 2 will bring? 


The records, I hope.  Share |
