This can include a small city to a large city.

What city's government is the most controlled by lobbyists, interest groups, or that 1 rich guy?

Jeanerette

And it’s not particularly close.

This will be impossible to measure due to the rampant corruption in LA, but Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes as a whole have to be up there.

Some of those central La speed trap shite holes have to make a top 10 list.

New Orleans has to be top or very near.

Amite is another one- JBE & family we’re under FBI investigation.

For the first time in several years, the City of Jeanerette has an audit - kind of.

It's not a complete one, because the city's financial records were in such disarray for so many years that they haven't been able to conduct a proper audit for several years. That led to the appointment of a fiscal administrator, who has now been running the city's business since March 2018.

The financial report issued by the city's auditors for the fiscal year ending June 2019 identified several problems that may account for the city's continued financial instability.



Jeanerette audit: unpaid utility bills and property taxes, defaults on grants

And those slimy fricking “city marshals” that only exist to write tickets on Hwy 90.

ETA- Jeanerette is like top 3 on both the incompetence scale and the corruption scale, which is pretty impressive. The state has been running the city since like 2018.

It’s New Orleans but Ville Platte and Shreveport are very close behind

Are you including the courts in the corruption?

The correct answer is ‘all of them’.

From what I’ve read, Marksville and Alexandria are at the top.

I wonder if investigations and convictions (or other ramifications) for corruption is a sign of blatant corruption or more a sign that it’s there but being fought against?
