We all should be happy that Bernie Madoff isn't the CEO of BP....or one of the other greedy wall street bankers.

Bobi - Thanks for explaining how difficult it is for you to understand my thoughts. Appreciate your help, though. And, of course, the Commissioner IS entitled to an opinion about the CPSB, the BPSB or any other school board.

I just find it difficult to understand why anyone would care what the Commissioner or someone else who has nothing to do with the DEPARTMENT OF WILDLIFE AND FISHERIES has to say, since they are the only relevant party to the issue.

But, maybe he'll come on and give his opinion to the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries actions. Hey, you never know he might even give his opinion about the Caddo Parish school system.

IMHO, helpful isn't always relevant.

Thanks, again, Bobi. The news piece clearly shows that the reporter is barred from entering public lands, is referred to the PIO by the law enforcement officer, she goes to the PIO at the BP offices, and is told it will be about 2 days to get the permit. No mention is made of which department is handling the PIO.

I would hope you wouldn't call BPSB regarding a CPSB matter. You're familiar enough to know where to call.

Perhaps the Commissioner would care to come back online here to redirect me to the appropriate office, just as I'm sure someone at BPSB would be courteous enough to explain to someone what would be the appropriate place to call. Government people like being helpful that way.

thanks again 80)

Sesport,
All departments work in a concerted effort

Maybe. I didn't know that the Wildlife and Fisheries Department was that involved in the Department of Conservation and visa versa.

If there were a problem in Caddo Schools, I wouldn't call the Bossier School Superintendent.

This was an OFF SHORE problem and the comments state that it DID NOT involve the Department of Conservation.

I CAN UNDERSTAND THE MISTAKEN IMPRESSION. I HAD THE SAME IMPRESSION, UNTIL I INVESTIGATED.

Thanks for your thoughts, Bobi. It helps to be referred to the right department. Of course, all departments work in concerted effort, communicating back & forth. Not sure of the scope of responsibility of this particular Public Information Office, if it disseminates info for all departments & agencies, or just Elmer's Island. Perhaps the Commissioner could provide more insight.

thanks 80)

Sesport,
I would think that since Elmer's Island is a Wildlife Refuge it would be under the jurisdiction of the Wildlife and Fisheries.

It also sounds like the Public Information Officer probably took BP up on an air conditioned location intead of sitting out in the heat (just my guess).

Comissioner - Why is the public information office for Elmer's Island located at the BP office? Why is such a permit required to access public lands?

Watch the full episode. See more Need To Know.

There is always ways of improving things, but it looks like the State of Louisiana does a good job.
