So why did Broome pull this off the docket?

I thought this had to be voted on NOW because of the soon to be imposed federal consent degree??

What happened to all the urgency surrounding this “fee”?

The urgency went away when they realized it not only would fail miserably but would open up a LOT of scrutiny on the high pressure tactics used to push it.

So that the milquetoast Metro Council can pass it in a month or two after the heat dies down.

Well, you see, it’s like this,


From the honorable and always honest SWB:

Unfortunately, an assessment of that information and that which has come to light today, has led me to the conclusion that I was misinformed regarding the federal involvement related to the NDA.
I want the citizens of Baton Rouge to know that my first option is never to place undue financial burden on them or to be less than transparent.
To that end, I am asking that this matter be removed from the council agenda until we obtain the full facts and that the metropolitan council join me in seeking answers from the parish attorney’s office and staff of the Office of the Mayor-President.
I want to ensure you I have always, and will remain committed to be, honest, open and transparent with the public on any matter relating to City-Parish government.


And if you believe that shite, you’ll also likely believe that Murphy Paul is an effective crime fighter.
