Can't believe Mitch wouldn't allow a minority-owned construction company to put a bid in for the job. I guess he's only interested in assisting minorities when it's politically convenient.

That "Certified Small Disadvantaged Businesses" means that they pay a much smaller tax or none at all.

I read that they've already run into underground obstructions that are causing problems. Not surprising that these things were not on any drawings and were not known about

I put nothing past that piece of shite fricking clown of a mayor. I hope any shadiness comes to light and he finds himself in a cell.

Me too. Then NOLA could try to make it 3 in a row.

This is La so I expect this to happen most of the time. I guess it does bother me more though because it's fcking Mitch.
The biggest boondoggle in recent memory was the Jefferson Parish Performing Arts place

And they have easy access to all the cushy government jobs. Want to know why the airport expansion is taking so long?

I haven't heard that the expansion is behind yet. They added some time due to scope growth because of more gates being added or something.
You hearing something else?

Bigger construction like Boh bros is running out of jobs while Mitch sits on $2bil of federal money meant for improvements just so he can figure a way to funnel the money to his family and minority contractors.

No story about shady New Orleans political dealings is complete without mentioning Rameli waste or one of the other business he owns. How is he involved?

At least he's tackling the important things NOLA needs.

I'm just glad they finally shut Stan Barre or whatever his name was out. He used to be tied in with a lot of crap including the airport

We can only dream.
He's an asshat and will be laughed off the national scene when the presidential stuff gets more serious down the road, but I haven't heard of anything yet that leads me to believe he's in any danger of jail time.
