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.

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.
