Bossier Chamber will host Salute to Community Heroes awards
BOSSIER PARISH, La. (KTAL/KMSS)—The Bossier Chamber of Commerce will recognize community heroes at an upcoming awards program.
The chamber will host its annual Salute Community Heroes award to honor individuals who have gone above and beyond to help others and make a difference in northwest Louisiana. Anyone in the community can nominate finalists, and a panel of judges will select six winners.
President/CEO of the Bossier Chamber of Commerce, Lisa Johnson, explains how this ceremony grew from the former Patriot Awards program to encompass other sectors that make an impact.
'It was during the time of Covid that we realized that we have other heroes out there that we don't ever recognize and talk about. Such as our health care industry, our educators, and grocery store truck drivers. This is really the opportunity to think about everybody who is giving back and is a hero in our community,' Johnson said.
The Saluting of Community Heroes will take place May 15 at 8 a.m. inside Margaritaville. Louisiana Supreme Court Associate Justice Jay McCallum will be the keynote speaker.
Tickets and sponsorships are available on the Bossier Chamber's website.

Statue honoring Lancaster's first Black business owner completed
LANCASTER, Ohio (WCMH) — There is a new statue in the city of Lancaster honoring Scipio Smith, the man who became the city's first Black business owner in the 1800s. The statue is along Main Street, not far from where Smith's tinsmith shop was located. The statue shows Smith holding an open shackle with the day he was emancipated inscribed on it. He was enslaved in Virginia before being brought to Ohio. 'That was his way of showing you can't stop me, even this chain didn't hold me down,' said Michael Johnson, a local historian and the marketing director for the Fairfield County Heritage Association. 'You can't get much more of an underdog than being born a slave and losing your leg as a child.' Johnson found a brief entry about Smith in a history book. He said he'd never seen an entry quite like it, so he dug deeper. Eventually he learned about Smith's history as a slave. Four years after Smith was freed, he founded the AME church in town, which is now Allen Chapel. Italian eatery from Columbus couple behind Chapman's, Ginger Rabbit to open Friday 'To know he was right here, to know he was responsible for this church,' said Evan Saunders, Pastor of Allen Chapel. 'You don't even know the lives he's touched but yet here 2025 we realize he's touching a whole community with that so his legacy still continues to live on.' About two years after opening the church, Smith opened a tinsmith shop in Lancaster. That made him the city's first Black business owner, according to Johnson. 'He was pretty quick to act once he got his freedom. He knew what he wanted,' Johnson said. 'Opened door for other Black business owners.' Johnson wrote about Smith's story. But he wanted to do more to honor the local legend. About two years ago he started fundraising for a statue. It's now completed, full of symbols and Smith's story. 'For me I think statues are celebrations, they are people we should be looking up to, the ideals they represent, and Scipio, you can't beat his work ethic, his faith, his tenacity, the ability to overcome unbelievable obstacles. You can't beat that story,' Johnson said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

FAMU presidency controversy continues into contract conversation
A brick sign welcomes visitors to the Florida A&M campus in Tallahassee. (Photo by Jay Waagmeester/Florida Phoenix) Controversy continues to swirl around the president designate of Florida A&M University with the latest dispute over Marva Johnson's five- year contract and how she will earn her pay. FAMU Board of Trustees Chair Kristin Harper said Friday Johnson's contract puts the university at odds with the FAMU Foundation, which is responsible for providing most of the money in the contract. That's because state law caps state contributions at $200,000 annually for presidential salaries. FAMU Foundation's board chair said it could not afford a $750,000 base salary, the Tallahassee Democrat reported, which is what Johnson requested. The FAMU Foundation anticipated the new president's salary would be $588,562, Harper said, reading from a letter from the foundation. The contract says the board 'shall use its best efforts to cause the foundation to contribute to the university portions of all payments' beyond $200,000. That language concerns Harper, who said she is not sure trustees have the ability to make the foundation, a direct support organization of the university, do anything. 'I have concerns about the burden, the financial burden that this places on the university and the university's inability to fund this sweetheart deal of sweetheart deals,' Harper said. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX There was significant pushback among alumni to Johnson's candidacy much of which was centered around Johnson's political connections to former Gov. Rick Scott and Gov. Ron DeSantis. Alumni also cited the lack of higher education administration experience as a reason to reject. Johnson. Despite the opposition the FAMU Board of Trustees voted 8-4 last month to select Johnson its next president. Harper voted against selecting Johnson. After the trustees approved Johnson, the board voted to put FAMU trustee Nicole Washington in charge of negotiating the contract. At the time, Harper said she was offended. The pick to run Florida's only public HBCU is an ally to top Florida Republicans On Friday Washington disagreed with Harper's assessment about the foundation's ability to pay. 'It's my understanding that the foundation will be required to amend their budget to accommodate this expense,' Washington said. 'Required is quite a strong word,' Harper replied. Washington on Friday stood by the contract she negotiated, which was ultimately approved with an 8-3 vote. 'I compare this process to, similar to, buying a house. I still regret not buying a house back in 2017 when the median home price in Florida was $237[,000]. In 2025, that median price is $389,400, a 60% increase. The market has changed,' Washington said, calling the contract 'competitive yet balanced.' Johnson is yet to be approved by the Board of Governors. If approved, her contract would take effect Aug. 1. Total compensation would be about $840,000 in the first year and rises up to about $981,000 in the final year. Comparing the contract to other historically Black colleges and universities, the FAMU contract rises above the average HBCU contracts that search consultants evaluated of $446,094. The average of other institutions with a similar research capacity as FAMU is $617,021, according to consultants. Trustee Craig Reed took issue with the size of the contract compared to former President Larry Robinson, whose total salary was $591,669 in his last year. 'I find it highly difficult to approve a contract that significantly exceeds, essentially, what we paid our previous president that had significant experience as a sitting president and as a faculty member in a higher ed institution,' Reed said. Compared to other State University institutions, FAMU's package would land it below the 50th percentile in the first year, which is $899,644. The contract also provides Johnson a spot as a faculty member at the FAMU college of law after her presidency. One concern voiced by some trustees and a pack of people during public comment, was whether the contract prioritizes retention rather than performance. The five-year contract would start Johnson at a base salary of $650,000 with a 3% annual increase. The contract provides annual performance compensation of $86,000, if the board deems her performance worthy. For comparison, the recently negotiated University of Florida contract would've provided Santa Ono with a 20% performance bonus. Johnson's performance bonus would be approximately 13% of her salary. Her contract provides a $150,000 annual retention payment, able to be cashed out after the three and five-year marks. The retention bonus would be approximately 23% of her annual base salary. 'I'm just concerned, you know, about what matters more to this board: Occupying a seat or delivering outcomes for student success?' Harper said, adding that she would prefer that performance and retention were swapped. Trustee Zayla Bryant, a student, stood with Harper. 'And with that only being less than half of what her retention payment would be, I feel like that sets a clear standard or sets a clear indicator that her presence is more important than her performance,' Bryant said. But Washington countered that the two are intertwined. 'It's interesting that you see that as an 'either or.' I see that as a 'both and.' In order for the president to remain for three years would require that she has performed over that time,' Washington responded, adding that 'This is not a contract that anybody is going to get just for sitting in the seat.'

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Pushes 'Grocery Tax'
Chicago is facing a massive budget gap, and its mayor has a possible solution. But it's not one that's sitting well with all retailers. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson wants "to reinstate a 1% grocery tax" in Chicago, according to Fox 32. Johnson's push for the tax came after Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker eliminated it in the state budget, the television station reported. The Chicago Tribune also reported that Johnson "is pushing aldermen to add a city grocery tax in Chicago as the long-established state grocery levy expires." The grocery tax would bring in about $80 million for the city's 2026 budget, The Tribune reported. According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the push came from "top mayoral aides" to alderpeople. Chief Financial Officer Jill Jaworski and Budget Director Annette Guzman spoke to alderpeople at a revenue subcommittee and told them that Chicago needs "a local version of the state-eliminated 1% grocery tax," the Sun-Times reported. They also said that, in order to close a $1.12 billion budget gap, the City of Chicago "needs a sales tax on professional services" and "a greater share of state income and personal property replacement taxes," the Sun-Times reported. According to Fox 32, the Illinois Retail Merchants Association (IRMA) is concerned about a grocery tax for Chicagoans. "The message is that they have to consider the consumer," said Rob Karr the president and CEO of IRMA to Fox 32. "The retailer considers the consumer every day. Grocery, as you know, is one of the most narrow profit margins of all the industries that are out there, but particularly in retail. And so they really have no place else to go with this. That's something that has to get passed on to the consumer, so it really comes down, again to are the city leaders, is the mayor and the city council willing to impose to yet another financial pressure on their consumers?" he Mayor Brandon Johnson Pushes 'Grocery Tax' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 6, 2025
