Subject: [ALDERMEN:913] Fire and Death of My Brother, Lorenzo Valley, 11/20/1956-12/29/2010

 

I just want to pause and say thank you to each and all of you who came out tonight and were so very helpful to my mother, my family and to me. Your efforts are truly and sincerely appreciated. In difficult times like these, God always reminds us that there is a special place in our hearts for our sincere and concerned compatriots.

I thank each of you. I appreciate Dana Flowers who came to the scene. I appreciate Chief Wilson for handling my mother gingerly. I appreciate Chief Brown, Captain Smith, Firefighter Clark, Engineer Fluker, Captain Gant and many more on the fire department for your expressions of concern and for extending a helping hand. I am grateful to Major Ronald Scott, Sgt. Bivens, Sgt. Cox, Detective Winston, Operator White, Corporal Mike Thomas, Sgt. Mike Thomas, Officer Carson McGee and so many others who expressed concern and offered help. I am honored that you cared. I am grateful that you performed this civic duty with professional dignity and grace.

I appreciate Eddie Lewis O'neal for coming out and boarding up the fire scorched building. I appreciate Eugene Handley, Deputy Coroner, for his assistance as well. I thank John Huff and Colette Moore for their early morning expressions of concern. I am truly grateful.

My brother, Lorenzo, is gone to a better place. He probably succumbed to smoke inhalation from the fire. He was my second oldest brother; the second of the 13 children. He is also the second brother to pass way. My eldest brother, Sylvester, Jr., died in 2002 after my father died in 2001. Lorenzo was a U. S. Air Force veteran who received an honorable discharge. He worked for the U. S. Postal Service for many years after leaving the Air Force. About nine years ago, he returned to Helena-West Helena to live and assist my mother after my father's death. He was divorced. His children and grandchildren live in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

Funeral arrangements are incomplete. My mother will make those soon.

If no one else ever tells you again, please know that we, the Valley Family, are grateful to each and everyone of you whether your name is printed above or not. May God Bless and Keep you is our prayer.

[ALDERMEN:911] Council Meeting Tuesday 11/16/2010

Please place first on the City Council Meeting Agenda Tuesday 11/16/2010, the presentation by  State Auditors and their Attorney at 4:30PM.  They wish to Leave as soon as their Presentation is over, due to the many hours drive back to their Homes.     I would also make plans to use the Municipal Court Room since I expect a large crowd.    I recomend  an invitation to the Council Elect , Mayor Elect , Department Heads,  as well as City Employees to be present to observe the presentation and learn  the recommendations from the Auditors comments.   Only with Knowledge of  past experiences can we possibly change  future events of our City Government..  It is most obvious from the letter of Prosecuting Attorney  Fletcher Long   “ It is as distressing to me as it is to you that the government of the City of Helena-West Helena appears to be unable to comply with the Arkansas Code relating to fiscal affairs of cities and towns and the Arkansas Municipal Accounting Law”.    I believe our City Government  can comply  if our Officials  understand and do what is right and required of them by State Law.  Our local Elected Officials  must  understand the seriousness of their responsibilities to the citizens of this community.    Thanks for your cooperation and Best Wishes.   

 

Joe St.Columbia, Alderman ward 2

Re: [ALDERMEN:908] FW: LOM111109[1].pdf

Mr. St. Columbia:

Thanks for providing me with the same information I shared with you and the entire community on October 15, 2010 via http://jamesfvalley.wordpress.com. I received this via mail on yesterday as well. I am sure that all council members received their copies through the mail as well. I provided this information to the general public as soon as it was available from legislative audit. This administration has been very transparent. This posting has been viewed by 141 people as of today. It has been downloaded from my blog site as well.

You should be mindful of at least one thing as you point out the shortcomings listed in this audit. This audit covers a period of time, generally, that had already passed when the auditors presented the last findings at our council meeting on October 20, 2009. Therefore, all of 2008 and most of 2009 had already passed prior to the presentation of the findings which are now indicated as repeat findings. Remember the time line.

I will be in Little Rock on November 12th to meet with Legislative Audit.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call upon me.

Sincerely,



James F. Valley

Please read audit pages 3 to 9 to understand the State Auditors concerns of Elected Officials inappropriately handling your Tax Money.

 

Lack of Financial reporting, Unauthorized Disbursements, Unaccounted for Funds, Misappropriating  of funds by Court Clerk for personal use, Unacceptable Accounting Procedures, Gross Violations of Codes and Ordinances, Failure of Officials to Reply to State Auditors, all of this and much more.

Attached is a current list of 61 cities that have adopted the resolution recommended by the League to endorse Issues #2 and #3.   I know of approximately 15 others that are scheduled to do so in the next 2 weeks.   If your city has adopted the resolution and is not on the list, please let me know so it can be added to the list that appears on the campaign website at http://jobsforarkansas.com/supporters.php

 

Thanks to all who have helped get the message out about the importance of these amendments to cities, particularly Issue #2.   If it is not passed, cities will be unable to finance important projects in 2011 with local sales taxes, and possibly longer.   We were pleased to see last week's editorial endorsement by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette which is attached.  The actual comments about the amendment begin on page 2 after a lengthy introduction.   In conclusion, the editorial says:

 

"The constitutional amendment proposed in Ballot Issue No. 2 would repeal the now archaic cap on the interest rates of government bonds and loans, and let the Legislature change the limit to suit the all too unpredictable economic times. At the same time, it preserves the 17 percent cap on interest rates for consumer loans. If this change becomes law, it would encourage both private and public investment in Arkansas, which needs both kinds.  Last time we checked, Arkansas has the most severe restrictions on interest rates in the Union, which can be good news only to other, competing states. The natural enough result is that, in the Natural State, loans are hard to come by these days. For the legal rates are far below what the market will bring, and lenders are either hoarding capital or investing where the returns are better. It can prove expensive, being stuck in medieval times. No wonder the state's economy, while not struggling, isn't thriving, either.  When the time comes to cast their ballots this election season, voters with a sense of reality can remove this crippling barrier by voting For Issue No. 2."   Ark Democrat-Gazette, Oct 7, 2010
