His bio only lists "Huey's" downtown.

I read somewhere he was involved in some other enterprises, but it's no big deal. It was nothing under the table or anything like that.

Also this week, Metro Councilman, attorney and businessman John Delgado announced he's opening a second downtown bar in the space at 174 South Boulevard formerly occupied by Mud and Water, which closed earlier this year.


The new bar, which Delgado is opening with business partner Andrew Bayard, will be called Brickyard South because its location, near River Road in the shadows of the Mississippi River bridge, is at the intersection of South Boulevard and Brickyard Street.


"It's going to be fun, eclectic and unpretentious," Delgado tells Daily Report. "This is not going to be the kind of place for Prohibition-era cocktails. It's just a place to have a drink and a good time." Delgado, along with Bayard, also owns Huey's on Third Street downtown.

Delgado is a jerk who I didn't support when he ran for council but I still admire what he has done with his life considering his parents fled Cuba with him when he was a young boy with basically only the clothes on their backs and a suitcase.

---

Apparently he runs his mouth without thinking.

He should appreciate our system better than he does. Whether people agree with Browning or not is their right, and it's also Browning's right to petition the government to affect change.

You don't grandstand and call people terrorists for exercising their rights.

You can oppose a group without the theatrics Delgado used. That's all I'm saying. He's playing to a particular crowd and IMHO looking really bad doing it.

Only the voters can bring that about, and we have seen that isn't going to happen.

2. City of Baton Rouge needs its own govt and stop helping themselves to parish revenue. BR is the friend who keeps bumming money off of you and never pays you back. They need to learn fiscal reform.

I agree more transparency is needed so taxpayers can see where their money is going. I do think everyone in the city-parish should get the same level of services; however, I do realize some areas may pay more for these services simply because they are better off. I don't expect to get a dollar's worth of services for every dollar of tax I send to the city-parish, but I expect to receive the same level of services as everyone else in the parish (if practical).

3. EBRP needs its own parish police jury to make sure finances are separate from BR the friend that keeps leaching off the parish. All cities Baker, BR our leach of the parish, Zachary, and Central plus unicorporated areas needs to pay for parish offices.

---

There are parish wide taxes that pay for many if not most of the services we receive. People in Zachary, Baker, and Central pay them too. We all pay for parish offices.

I hope whatever educational system is ultimately developed for EBR it will be better than the education you obviously missed out on. It's a little scary that you used to carry a gun for work.....

She didn't say he was guilty, LOL;

He was not charged with a crime. It was a civil suit.

And she did admit he was "guilty" of having an affair with an employee.

What was not proven was that he had a contract with that woman to pay her "alimony" to her for the rest of her life without ever having been married to her. The judge agreed and that's why the judge dismissed the suit.

Seriously, your posts in this thread have become as untruthful and irrelevant as Sprocket's posts.

Wow. You're a fool.

Baton Rouge not only has the highest credit rating of any city or parish in the entire state, but it has the highest credit rating that you can get. That's an indication that they are fiscally sound. Is it not?
