A mayor was recognized at a party in Bossier City

But it wasn't the Bossier City mayor. Shreveport Mayor Cedric Glover was asked onstage just before the presentation of the 2007 royalty for local krewes at tonight's Twelfth Night Party in the Bossier City Civic Center. Bossier City Mayor Lo Walker wasn't asked on stage, and partygoers and planners said he wasn't there.

Maybe Walker had a previous engagement, but the Mardi Gras season kick off seemed like a great place for a little public relations since it had moved across the river from last year.

State Senator Lydia Jackson was also introduced onstage. Neither gave a speech.
