Probably just the tip of the iceberg and the more she fights the deeper they will dig.

Randolph said he started raising concerns about FTNO’s finances and operations in May, when the city’s first check for the Learn and Earn program, for $505,310.40, was mailed to the St. Charles Avenue mansion of the president of Cantrell’s inaugural fund.


quote:
For example, after Cantrell made the difficult decision to cancel Mardi Gras parades in 2021 because of the pandemic, she told her staff in an email that she wanted to issue proclamations to Mardi Gras Indian chiefs to thank them for their leadership. On the same email, Cantrell asked FTNO’s manager at the time, her former political director Trent Butler, to use FTNO funds to pay the chiefs $500 each.

“Do we have some FTNO checks we can cut for support, $500 each(?) No pressure just let me know. It can be housing expense,” Cantrell wrote.

It's a grant, so you can put it under anything," he said.


Thats a bad look

I don’t want her simply removed from office. I want her in jail.

The inspector general hasn't even revealed what he has found on the smart cities. This was with barely looking.

Not many will actually read the article, but it is pretty well put together.

Nothing that The Lens hasn't already put out, but the Randolph guy seems to be speaking up making sure everyone knows he wasn't involved. Seems he was fired because he smelled the bullshite.

Even today, it still amazes me how stupid people can be putting things like this in print with their names attached.

Ok, now THIS is a boom.

When a Dem administration’s IG office does this, there are issues.


I don’t see Biden bailing her out like Obama did with Kevin Johnson.

In Goodfellas and the book that inspired it, Henry Hill discussed how old time monsters refused to even have a phone in their house because it would inevitably bite them in the arse.

E-mail is worse simply because it generates records and have to be retained as official records if you are a politician.

The media,and local money and politicians are washing their hands with her...

While this has been going on for decades, the taxpayer will spend multiple millions of dollars to find out she hoarded a few million in side, and kickback money. Then it would cost millions more to prove, , convict, and more court coat to even try and associate others in on it.


Of all the stuff the government, specifically the city of New Orleans, has wasted my tax dollars on over the years, if they want to waste them on investigating, indicting, convicting, and imprisoning Teedy I am all for it. Hell I will even send them extra.

People get the feeling they are untouchable and get lazy. The thought of oversight doesn't even cross their mind because in their bubble, they are king/queen.

I know how these Inspector Generals operate. They have the goods to freeze the accounts. It's all going to come down to how insulated she is from the paper trail. She’ll try to throw others under the bus. Hopefully, some of those folks kept an insurance policy to burn her.
