If not for a conflict of interest, some would have no interest at all. Slabbed updates River Birch, Jefferson Parish curatorships and welcomes state Representative Rick Gallot.

A reader sent this AP story to us regarding state Representative Rick Gallot that fits with Nowdy’s comment yesterday. He evidently skates on a technicality: The Louisiana Board of Ethics won’t further pursue a conflict-of-interest case involving state Rep. Rick Gallot. The board has decided it won’t appeal to the Louisiana Supreme Court an ethics adjudicatory panel decision that … Continue reading “If not for a conflict of interest, some would have no interest at all.

The Times Picayune takes another look at Jefferson Parish Curatorships: There is a Rossie in the woodpile

Our new readers attracted here by our coverage of the unfolding Jefferson Parish Political corruption scandal may be scratching their heads wondering about this Rossie chap I occasionally speak of. Well wonder no more, David Rossmiller is an ethically challenged piece of crap lawyer from Portland Oregon who blogged on Weiss v Allstate  pretending to be impartial when in fact his law … Continue reading “The Times Picayune takes another look at Jefferson Parish Curatorships: There is a Rossie in the woodpile”

Channel 4 explores Broussard curatorships and makes more connections on the double dealing in Jefferson Parish Government

Last month we highlighted the first investigative report on three judges in Jefferson Parish with a penchant for giving former Parish President Broussard legal work as a curator while he was serving as Parish President. Bigad Shaban at Channel 4 has kicked things up a notch by focusing in on one judge, Glen Ansardi and frankly the stench emanating from the hive … Continue reading “Channel 4 explores Broussard curatorships and makes more connections on the double dealing in Jefferson Parish Government”

Poor Roy D’Aquila got butterflies on his tummy tum tum when he saw Val Bracy’s reports on the Trout Point Development

And I verily bet poor ol’ Roy crapped his pants when he saw the other media reports on the Broussard curatorships considering he was telling Charlie and Vaughn, on Broussard’s behalf, to put Riverbend on the Lodge’s main insurance policy. Of course you say that and they will sue. And this fixation they have with Anne Marie Vandenweghe is unhealthy IMHO.  … Continue reading “Poor Roy D’Aquila got butterflies on his tummy tum tum when he saw Val Bracy’s reports on the Trout Point Development”

Here is an easter egg for you Dane Ciolino fans

Dane Ciolino, an unabashed Slabbed fan was on the radio today stating the obvious: Loyola Law professor Dane Ciolino says it appears that U.S. Attorney Jim (Letten) is intent on targeting the remaining members of the Danziger 7 on federal homicide charges, and not just covering up the shootings. “I think that’s almost an absolute certainty,” … Continue reading “Here is an easter egg for you Dane Ciolino fans”

Folks we’ve passed from the ridiculous to the completely over the top as my phone and email in box are getting a heck of a workout this morning.  Let’s start  with my comment to last night’s post that tied a few things together: We’ve been told item #84 passed unanimously.

There is a Broussard in the woodpile part deux: The Times Picayune carries water for DA Connick and misses a chance for Jazz. Slabbed passes out the Razz.

Over the two plus years Nowdy and I have done this blog I’ve had occasion to take employees of news organizations out to the woodshed from time to time for sloppy reporting. Notice I did not use the term journalist or journalism as such implies a level of professionalism which is invariably missing when I bring the wood. With few … Continue reading “There is a Broussard in the woodpile part deux: The Times Picayune carries water for DA Connick and misses a chance for Jazz. Slabbed passes out the Razz.”
