Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins did not properly qualify for re-election and cannot be a candidate in the November election, a Caddo District Court judge ruled today – a decision expected to be appealed all the way to the state supreme court.

Perkins blamed the media for the incorrect information he submitted, saying TV news cameras distracted him when he was filling out his paperwork at the Caddo Clerk of Court’s office week before last.

With how things are in Shreveport, this is a good thing.

Makes sense. I often write down a relative’s address in place of my own when I’m distracted. This is exactly the kind of detail oriented dude I want running my city.

Lol I wonder what his BAC was when he was completing the forms

Fitting end to a shitty tenure as mayor. Can’t fricking stand him.

What is he trying to hide in faking his address? Since both properties are in Shreveport he wasn’t trying to skirt residency requirements. Must be running drugs out of his condo.

He can’t file paperwork correctly to run for mayor he doesn’t deserve to run an entire city. And also he sucks at being mayor.

The guy never should have been mayor to begin with.

I would walk away from my job rather than trying that lame arse excuse. That's just embarrasing.
I once applied for a federal gov job in the days of typewriters and white out. I mentioned all the forms and how hard the application process was and the guy interviewing me said "we can tell a lot about the candidate just by how well they complete the application process." I am going to say the same thing about Perkins in this case.

I had high hopes for him as a moderate candidate and he has been a vastly disappointing and grossly incompetent failure as a mayor. Horrible for our city. This is not even close to the first boneheaded thing that has occurred under his watch.

There’s definitely no media attention being the mayor of a mid sized metropolitan city so he should rest easy in his future endeavors

I always think of this when I think of Perkins. I also was duped by Perkins and voted for him

While Perkins is utterly corrupt and entirely useless, all this means is that Tarver will now likely run away with it. Which may be worse.
If I didn't have a huge base of clients in this area Id have left years ago. As it stands, I am going to try to buy some land across the state line ASAP.

Is Tarver your neighbor in his big mansion?

Tarver is far from perfect but he’s not ineffectual. He’s like the devil we know, in my opinion. I like Arceneaux best all things held equal, but this is a majority African American town and Tarver could be good. We shall see

I dont think so, I live in a neighborhood.
Im not sure where he lives honestly.
