Yesterday, the Shreveport Times reported on a recent school board meeting that dozens of upset parents and school board staff attended. In the meeting, many vented about the 313 jobs that are to be eliminated in accordance with the $50 million parish budget. After a public hearing, the final vote will be taken on June 21.

Someone must’ve thought, “why not have a doctor excuse booth with doctors on duty” because sure enough, there was a station there with active doctors distributing excuses to ‘stressed’ soon-to-be- unemployees.
Those same doctors who wrote medical notes over the weekend excusing protesters at the Wisconsin Capitol from work are getting slammed with angry phone calls and profane e-mails from people telling them they deserve to be thrown in jail, one doctor said Sunday.
