The WAFB I-TEAM has confirmed from multiple sources that state and federal investigators have been working together for months to look into how money was spent inside former East Baton Rouge Parish Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome’s administration.
The sweeping probe involves multiple people who worked for the Broome administration, our sources said. The former Mayor-President is not part of the current investigation, but people who were once in her close inner circle are, our sources added.

Sources with direct knowledge of the investigation told the WAFB I-TEAM investigators with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office are working with federal agents in the ongoing probe. A grand jury could decide soon if any charges are warranted against any of the individuals involved, our sources said.

Sources said money was free flowing at OCD and was spelled out in a city-parish audit in January of 2024. That audit stated there was no documentation for the reimbursement of $639,858 for draws on two contracts. One example included $279,456 in missing documentation for a reimbursement. A second example involved missing documentation for 15 different transactions associated with a reimbursement of $360,402. The audit also said duplicate payments totaling $21,850 for one contract were paid to a developer twice.

Same investigation?

“ Jason Hughes of Hughes Consultant Group LLC, says any excess fees he collected were the city-parish's fault, not his.”

Who really cares at this point? Everyone knows Louisiana politics are as crooked as they come yet people still choose to live there and be abused.

Broome had a sweetheart deal with Hughes Consultant Group according to WBRZ regarding developing houses in 70802. A $220,000 cost estimate ended up being $500,000 plus Mr. Hughes magically received quadruple his original contract fee. Hmmmmm….. my first question is how much experience did Broome’s apparent very good friend have developed houses? Clearly he way very good at it. No problem for Broome though. Just do the usual boom boom broome sweep under the rug. What contract is that inaccurate when you are dealing with taxpayer funds. A crooked contract. How are these people not in jail.

Lock her up and the sleazy “developer” that Broome was in bed with on this. Clearly that guy had zero clue but charged quadruple the fee going to him. A fee he should have waived after revealing he was incompetent. No comment from Jason Hughes though. I guess not bc he is a crook.

Y’all so funny thinking anything at all will come of this.
We know for a fact T Clark Amar was writing herself into old people’s wills and stealing their money.
Where is she now? Right where she’s always been. Still running the EBRPCOA.
You can publish all the receipts. NOTHING WILL HAPPEN

No there's a question that's asked frequently in this town.....

And Broome will still find some way to blame this on Coach Mayor Sid Edwards.
I always thought that once the feds come to town, someone is getting indicted.

Occasionally something does happen. Government officials from all levels across the state have gotten ensnared in federal investigations that resulted in a combination of prison time, asset forfeiture, and significant monetary penalties.
They don’t always get away with it, especially when the Feds start snooping around.
