Wondering where this leads back to as well. There are plenty of inspection pictures on One Stop, not sure if they saw some gaps and then looked at those days and found the irregularities.

the ones who claimed that road that was 20 inches higher than the driveways on that street was done correctly?

Those hundred dollar handshakes are coming around to bite em in the arse. Discovery in these suits should be eye-opening.

Why the hell have they not recovered the bodies yet? I’d be pissed if I were a family member
Because the building was deemed to be at further risk of collapse and the city didn't want to risk more lives by sending in a recovery team to retrieve dead bodies that were crushed under tons of concrete

Can someone give me some history on Julie Tweeter? As in, how much does she make, how'd she get that job, is she tight with the mayor, etc.....She's a white lady, right?

If you street view her address her city issued truck is parked in the driveway.

Not sure if it is middle of the day or a saturday/sunday. Just kind of funny.

This is everywhere in Louisiana. I am familiar with Hard Rock, and yes very shitty situation. But I know several builders in smaller towns where inspectors never come to the premises too, especially if friends.

Ascension Parish was famous for an electrical inspector that would approve and the first wire was never run.

Tweeter could not be reached for comment by WWL-TV on Monday. Tidwell later said that Tweeter has since retained an attorney.

This is a problem for a lot city and parish inspectors. So many sites are not getting inspected properly.


I've worked at sites where the parish inspector doesn't even get out of his truck. One inspector refused to get out of his truck because he was in shorts and flip flops.

She will never be punished accordingly. She might (big might) lose her job entirely but lots of folks up the chain of command have lots to lose so she’ll be taken care of.

The mayor should put her on unpaid leave immediately and review similar permits issued in the recent past to verify they were issued appropriately. Permits issued by all workers at her level, not just this woman.

But it’s New Orleans. People will stand in line for a couple of hours for a king cake and stake out a spot on the neutral ground to watch a parade a week in advance but they won’t take the time to go to a city council meeting or get involved in the election process.

Not as much fun to call her out somewhere that isn't as public as twitter. The families of the dead workers should go after this woman hardcore if this story is true.

First thing that happens when you hire a lawyer in these type cases. They will have you sit in their office and shut down every single social media account.
