I had a second home in this community for over 6 years. Just sold it last month. Plus I have some business interest in the community too. So, even though I am not a “local” as they say. I am vested and even created and still maintain a website promoting the City of Hardy as well as news and stories. That site is http://www.mainstreethardy.com which has been called by the city Mayor as a TRASH SITE !
As for as the email request under the FOIA laws. The same law firm that is the emergency contact firm for news agencies to contact for help with FOIA issues. They gave me the wording for the email reguest and assisted me in getting the city to respond.
Also, the local POLICE CHIEF is just as part of the issue. Rumor has it in that small town he is the puppet master and the mayor is just the puppet. Thus, another reason I am not happy about them requiring me to make an appointment to review the FOIA requested emails, but that a OFFICER would sit with me the whole time!
Others who have tried to get answers in the past, have just given up after all the b.s. they have had to got through. That seems to be the way it has always been. I don't like that way of our government, no matter big city or small town treats people.

I appreciate everyone's viewpoint. I will keep y'all updated on what happens next. I originally just felt an apology for the lie about me “stalking” would have satisfied me. However, it has gone so much past that especially since everything the Mayor and City Hall has done trying to prevent my request and paint me as some evil person only drives me more to stand up for my rights and not be bullied.
Ummm anyone willing to bail me out of jail if they arrest me when I show up at City Hall and request to view the emails as allowed by any citizen without any appointment or officer standing by me!?!?!?!?

Well..I have so called shaken the tree's to get someone to respond. I am waiting for the Arkansas Attorney General's office to respond as well as the local Sheriff'S office in regards to details on the so called “investigation”. I have a file that is now almost a inch thick with documents and correspondance relating to the issues.
I have even had my friends point out they never knew how much of an activist I have become. I tell them it is only because I have now first hand experience the unfair treatment and in this case I am the wrong person to lie about and treat poorly!
If I have to contact the Federal governenment next to get these folks to realize that as small as this might be to others it is a BIG deal to me.. I do not like someone making false statements about me and accusing me of actions that are not true.
I won't be bullied, I won't be quiet, I won't just let it pass because as soon as I realized I was under some type of investigation..well thats just a big old green light to FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS.
Hopefully the legal system will do what is is suppose to do and protect the citizens rights.CTOA - Founder
This is how the Mayor treats those that disagree with her, or question her actions. The fact that lies about me were spoken and written is bad enough. The fact that the website I oversee was called a trash site and everything else is already sad.
Additionally the way the Mayor has now tried to delay if not prevent request for Freedom Of Information is even more upsetting. All this bothers me..but what really bothers me is it seems those who can actually do something about it just sit back.
I have had two agencies in conversation tell me to just KEEP DOING WHAT I AM DOING. Heck, why should I have to work so hard to get information and to clear my name from false statements.
The only bright point..is if I understand the law.. I plan to push the AG office to investigate the FALSE POLICE REPORT claim. A person in office who outwardly LIES and then continue to LIES and use it to her advantage is wrong and smells rotten. If I have had to endure so much, image how many others have been put off, put down and made to just shut up!
P.S. I have also been told to watch my back.. (small town good ole boys) and I am not part of them!
Good think I am stubborn as a mule and don't just ignore it and walk away!!CTOA - Founder
Thanks, good reading.. I am for sure being singled out and treated differently.
If you really want to read something..read this letter issued by the Mayor to all the city alderman! http://www.mayorofhardy.com/wp…..29-101.pdf
Is this defamation of character? I believe it is..but again.no value in that but I do no like being accused of something I am NOT and that is why I keep pusing to prove my point.
Most folks, just stop and give up and keep getting bullied by those in charge. I just keep pushing because one.. it is my right as a citizen to request and view all items allowed under freedom of information. A person should need to have to go through all the hassle I have and the personal attacks against me just for doing what the law allows!
P.S. I just needed to vent my frustration to a group I respect!

I originally made the FOIA request (at my attorney's approval) in order to hopefully find information about my character. I was called a “stalker” by the Mayor and have been working on getting information under the FOIA. Her accusation is based on all lies she created to cover up a story I posted about email correspondance with her. After that I suddenly was accused of stuff I never did to paint me as a bad person. (it was during her election campaign). Go figure..
The fact that I believe now she is the one who filed what I would consider a “FALSE POLICE REPORT” why else would there be a ongoing harrassment case letter sent to me? It to me is a form of intimidation. This is just one more part of a bigger puzzle I wish to expose.
The Mayor in official letters by her sent out to the city Alderman also stated that I was a instigator and a threat etc. (smells rotten and wrong to me)
Yes, I am sure technically she can assign a police officer to sit with me, but why just me..in a open letter she invited all citizens to come to City Hall at any time to view the emails during business hours… NO APPOINTMENT OR SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS.

Okay..I have set up a Classifieds section for our members only to list items and stuff. Have not fully tested it. Will let you guys who post something give me feedback. I have used it on another site successfully so..it should work.
I have established a small listing fee of only $1.00 for a 30day listing. This very small listing fee will hopefully keep the site from getting unnecessary listings.
Not sure if I created all the needed basic categories..but hey I can ad as requested.
We will see if members find this a benefit for the site!
