ABC UPLOADS CORRECT INFORMATION AFTER OUR STORY ABOUT GRIEVOUS ERROR

A week ago we reported a serious error by the ABC that damaged the reputation and impacted the economic situation of two Jonesboro restaurants.

We a happy to report that the ABC has corrected the egregious blunder of elderly and soon to retire (or be fired) ABC employee Karen Blagg.

BLAGG IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VIOLATION NOTICES, ORDERS & REPORTS

As we reported, in March 2016 Blagg goofed up and uploaded a five year old report from March 2011 instead of the March 2016 report.

Apparently Blagg must have royally screwed the pooch as you can see by looking at the two images above, the February 2016 report was not listed on their page when we made a screenshot last week, but is there when we made a screenshot this week. Perhaps she actually uploaded the February report on February 24th, but forgot to "publish" it.  

If you click on the report you find that the March 2016 report replaced the 2011 document.

THE ABC POSTED THE MARCH 2011 REPORT INSTEAD OF THE MARCH 2016 REPORT

THE ABC REPLACED THE 2011 DOCUMENT WITH THE CORRECT ONE AFTER OUR STORY

We have previously reported how error-prone Blagg is and she spends quite a bit of time (even at work) posting racist and inappropriate things on her Facebook page.

Perhaps the Arkansas Department of Human Services might look at Bragg if she cares for grandchildren or other relatives children as one of her posts indicates that she might have abusive tendencies.

We suggest that the ABC urge Bragg to retire immediately, as they have other ABC employees, to prevent any further mistakes that would damage the existing poor reputation of the ABC.

ABC EMPLOYEES PREFER PAN PIZZA'S

According to documents we obtained, ABC employees prefer pan pizza style over thin or hand tossed styles.

Supreme is their favorite topping followed by Meat Lovers, Pepperoni Lovers and Hawaiian Luau.

We suspect that the Hawaiian Luau was ordered for ABC Enforcement Agent Kenny Heroman.  

HEROMAN FAVORS THE ISLAND STYLE

A local TV station has been looking into state agencies frivolous spending for meals for employees. Maybe they will be looking at the ABC as they have some spending shenanigans of their own. 

ABC DAMAGES TWO N.E. ARKANSAS PERMIT HOLDERS REPUTATION AND CAUSE LOSS IN INCOME BY RELEASING FALSE INFORMATION

On March 18, 2016 the Arkansas Alcoholic Beverage Control agency royally screwed up and posted incorrect information regarding violation reports in mid March.

The 2011 document was still posted incorrectly as the March 2016 violation report at the time we published this story.

One of their sharp clerical employees posted a five year old document instead of the current month's violation report.

We believe that ABC employee that posted the old information was Karen Blagg.

BLAGG (ON RIGHT) SPENDS EVERY AVAILABLE MINUTE POSTING CRAP ON FACEBOOK

Blagg is a terrible speller and documents she types often have numerous errors. One attorney for the ABC, Milton Luken, accused her of botching up a transcript in a legal proceeding. I know they are glad she is retiring.

So, on March 21, 2016 Jonesboro television KAIT staff checked the ABC website to see if any area establishments had been found to have violated an ABC rule or regulation.  

According to the document the ABC posted, two popular restaurants,  Kandela Mexican Grill and Fuji Japanese Steakhouse each had been fined $400 and placed on probation for 90 days for serving underage individuals (cooperating underage minors illegally buying booze in violation of Arkansas laws no doubt).

So KAIT posted a story about the two restaurants serving underage individuals and informed viewers that the two establishments could not sell alcoholic beverages for the next 90 days. Can you say "business killer"?

After KAIT ran the story, numerous individuals contacted both restaurants to find out if they were still operating since they couldn't sell booze. After all, who wants a chimichanga without a cerveza or sushi without sake. 

Naturally,  the restaurants complained to KAIT and they "apologized" for their mistake in reporting information that ABC purported to be a correct and accurate report of March 2016 violations.  KAIT then posted a correction.

KAIT HAD TO RUN A RETRACTION AFTER SHIT HIT THE FAN

We contacted both restaurants and were told that they were inundated with calls and social media messages after KAIT ran the erroneous story based on the ABC's bungling mistake. Both reported a loss of business in March which they attribute directly to the ABC publishing the five year old report instead of the correct report.

KAIT news director Josh White told us that "they did not notice the document the ABC had listed as their March 2016 violation report was actually one from March 16, 2011." 

The ABC needs an overhaul.  They have some tainted individuals in positions for which they lack the necessary qualifications, credentials and experience.

ABC ON LIST FOR UNCLAIMED FUNDS

THE ABC MADE THE LIST LAST YEAR

The ABC had unclaimed funds from a credit card account with Citibank and did not know about it until another DFA department sent them an email in November 2015.

Each November 1st of each year, holders with unclaimed property must file a report with the Auditor of State and remit all property outstanding for one to five years on their books as of June 30 of that year. The auditor then has three years in which to attempt to locate the rightful owner before the funds are deposited into the State General Fund where they continue to be held for the benefit of the rightful owner.

As the current ABC main office staff has been there since Moby Dick was a minnow someone must have overpaid a credit card bill for funds to be held by Citibank.  

Hint to ABC staff: You have to review statements and pay attention to what you are doing with public funds.
