Help wanted

How about this? All kinds of people would like to get the work as legal counsel for Little Rock National Airport, now that Mayor Mark Stodola's firm has given up the work to avoid even the appearance of conflict. (Members of the city board appoint the commission that governrs the airport.)

Interesting. Applicants for the work include current City Director Brad Cazort. Said he about serving on the board and serving as airport attorney: "I think it is a conflict of interest, and that's why if they end up retaining me, I would resign from the city board."

The Little Rock city attorney's office also proposes to take over the work. Other applicants: Hope, Fuqua and Campbell; Williams and Anderson; Rose Law Firm; Patton, Roberts, McWilliams, Capshaw; Friday, Eldredge and Clark; Cross, Gunter, Witherspoonm Galchus; Mitchell Williams; Dover, Dixon, Horne; Quattlebaum, Grooms, Tull and Burrow; Wright, Lindsey and Jennings; Jack Lyons and Jones; Watts, Donovan and Tilley; Eichenbaum, Liles, and Heister; and Gill, Elrod, Ragon, Owen, and Sherman.

It's a Who's Who of the state's legal talent.

Cazort should resign from the Board of Directors BEFORE he pursues the work. This is comparable to Airport Commissioner Johnson pursuing the restaurant contract when he sits on the commission. Unethical.

Isn't one of the commissioner's son-in-laws a lawyer at Cross Gunter?

Incredible. Isn't Cazort drawing a state pay check too?

Heard Jim Dailey is working as a "consultant" for AT&T now. Yeah, the same guys he helped land a huge contract with the City last summer.

And Tim Griffen called the Senate a circus!
