In putting name on ballot, Rockwall detective loses job
The question is whether his superiors are the culprits or Randy Puckett himself is to blame, for failing to conduct a thorough investigation of city ordinances. He says that when he told his bosses in December that he planned to run for Rockwall County commissioner, they encouraged him. "They said, 'I think you'll be good at it,' " said Mr. Puckett.

BET Calls for More Originals
Among BET's new shows announced last week during its New York upfront presentation is Somebodies, the network's first scripted series about a group of 20-something "slackers" caught between graduating from college and finding a real career, according to network executives.
