You may have seen some interesting posts on Facebook over the past 24 hours or so. It seems the family and friends of the Russellville Electric Board's director have claimed that his $987.00 purchase from LL Boutique was from a store that sells tumblers. Could this possibly be true? Let's look:
There are two boutiques in the U.S. with similar names. L&L Boutique does sell tumblers, and expensive ones at that.
The other is LL Boutique which peddles what we previously called beach wear. We won't be that kind today.
So how would one know the difference without subpoenaing the credit card records? Perhaps those who concocted that story didn't look very hard at the bank statement?
The bill clearly states LL Boutique - California. The hootchie mama clothes are sold from a store in Los Angeles, California. The tumbler peddler? That website references southern Louisiana as its home.
For those Russellville citizens who are as mad as Peter Finch in Network, you can always report these shenanigans to the Alabama Ethics Commission. We would suggest a better way for immediate results is to pay a visit to the next Russellville City Council meeting...en masse. By the time the public is through speaking, the representatives will realize that you mean business.
What year is this? I noticed Copies & Ink on the list. They closed shortly after Covid started.
ReplyDeleteInteresting question. We'll try to find out. It's possible the board paid Jack Powell for something other than copies, but the pmt. was run through under than name.
