How come they only have such a tight timeframe for this happening?

You know that shite didn’t just start this semester.

I’m guessing EBR’s numbers are 4 times that amount.

I’m guessing WAY over that.

EBRPSS likely has a bunch of no show paychecks to go with the no work ones they already pay.

The school board employees should take classes on how to use e-mail. It never ceases to amaze me how many people get scammed through email still.

And they want us to give them more of our money.

It's fun to rail on NO about corruption and point fingers but the truth is the entire state is awash with its. Black, White, Baw, etc...,,

Sounds like the Livingston Parish School Board is in line for a budget cut.

True.

But finding corruption at LSU takes a lot more work than finding corruption at Southern or Grambling.


Kind of like the Chris Rock routine on lying. Men lie more but women tell bigger lies.

The Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s Office said the payments were made after the Livingston Parish School Board received emails requesting changes to electronic funds transfers for two vendors. Officials said the changes were made without school officials following procedures in place to call the vendors and verify the emails.

True. Except that this shite turning up means that you now audit a MUCH wider range for a history of this shite.
