re: EPA claims no knowledge of Mayor Broome’s stormwater utility fee NDA

Please do me this favor. Someone show up and request to comment on this agenda item and request that Mayor Broome resign and Parish Attorney Andy Dotson resign. This was a straight up bold face lie to the public to pass a “fee” on all property owners.

The mayor is literally asking to wait until she gets answers from her own office and her own attorneys and to remove this item from the agenda. She wants the item removed so she doesn’t have to face the wrath of the public finding out that both her and her personally recommended parish attorney blatantly lied to their constituents in order to extort the citizens of money.

I’d say also to submit a complaint to the BAR Association on Mr. Dotson but I’m not sure if he violated any specific rules.

This is a $40 million extortion scheme on the citizens on the Baton Rouge and the citizens outside of any city limits within the parish. This was all done in a manner to intentionally hide facts from the public by virtue of a NDA that the city/parish created in order to avoid any meaningful discussion and attention the the mayor’s complete neglect of the underlying issue.

The mayor needs to resign. The parish attorney needs to resign. Anybody that took part in this scheme needs to resign.

They were so bold to do this. It makes me wonder what other stuff is going on in both the mayors office and parish attorneys office. Public trust is gone. Any member of the council that votes for this fee is complicit in the scheme to extort money from the people.

Rowdy just agreed to an ethics violation within the last two months. Someone needs to call him out too and say they wouldn’t be surprised if he votes for the extortion fee considering we already know he has violated ethics laws in the state. Link to article on the ethics violation below.

Just another female African American politician that’s not from here, yet is trying her best to destroy SE Louisiana. It wouldn’t be that bad if NO and BR didn’t effect the rest of Louisiana but they do.

Think of all the midnight basketball that could be played for 40 million dollars! The mayor could even afford to appoint a 7 figure poet laureate to raise awareness of flood issues.

What progress.

She could follow Teedy's lead, and fly First Class to Venice, Italy, to learn more about flooding.

What local firms all involved?

Is that even legal, and why would a government attorney advising city leaders on a variety of matters suddenly require a NDA on this issue?

This.

Why would Andy Dotson need an NDA? He's the PARISH ATTORNEY. He's professionally bound as a lawyer to already do that. He could be fired and disbarred for breaking client attorney privilege without signing an NDA. Seems redundant.

And the council has a professional responsibility as well to handle city parish affairs with a level of discretion. They often go into executive session on matters such as settlement discussions on pending litigation.

To the best of my knowledge several councilmembers asked for an executive session type of conversation and those requests were refused or unanswered.

You all are doing late night lords work. Please don’t take the foot off the gas. BR needs this badly.

Looks like the Fed's gave EBR a ton of cash to hire HNTB to tell the City Parish to spend more money on cool things that feed engineering firms like HNTB.

I don't beleive the management piece was ever settled. I'll bet you a dollar it never does either! Those fellas are all running for cover.

You won't find an engineer in the Great State of Louisiana that anything to do with it, I promise you that.

Fee is off the docket and SWB has thrown the parish attorney under the bus for the situation.
