Lester Issues Apology

The Times reports that Shreveport Councilman Calvin Lester issued a letter of apology to his consituents after details of his plea bargain that reduced more than $10,000 in state and local traffic fines to only $50 became public. "Many stones have been cast at me over the past weeks, many of them deserved," Lester's letter states. "I want to take this opportunity to reassure you that those issues have been resolved. I have hurt myself and let others down."
