Gov Landry says Lee Mallett will replace Ballard as Pres of the LSU board of supervisors

Mallet can’t drive himself to board meetings.

Lee Mallett is a certified piece of shite alcoholic and treats people the same way.

If there’s anyone that’s fallen upward, it’s that fricking guy. Money talks, sure, but how this guy got in this spot is beyond me.

FYI Lee posts here, or used to, and is very litigious

Might wanna be careful what you say


That being said, only in Louisiana can someone who was accused of manipulating workers comp laws/audits not only become head of the LA contractor board, but now Pres of LSU BoS

The Louisiana State University Board of Supervisors website describes member Lee Mallett as a ‘respected businessman’ who has created businesses ‘that support good-paying jobs and give back to the community’ -- but Mallett’s companies have been investigated twice by state agencies in relation to coverage under a state worker’s compensation program.

Mallett, who also serves as chairman of the State License Board of Contractors, owns several manufacturing and construction companies in the Lake Charles area. In 2018, his companies purchased workers compensation insurance through a state created entity, the Louisiana Worker’s Compensation Corporation. The coverage protects workers hurt on the job, as long as their company signs up for coverage and pays a premium.

The premium is based on the salary of each employee.

When applying for the worker’s compensation coverage, one of Mallett’s companies, Progressive Buildings, claimed one employee drove the equivalent of New Orleans to Atlanta every day of the week.


State records obtained by FOX 8 show the company claims it paid the woman about $18,000 in wages and then paid her another $95,000 in mileage reimbursements. That figure is key because the premium paid to the worker’s compensation corporation is based on the employee’s salary, not their other earnings and reimbursements. So in this example, 84 percent of the employee’s total earnings were not included in calculating the premium paid to the state corporation.

The $95,000 in mileage reimbursements to the employee equals about 3,400 miles a week -- equal to the drive from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans to the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

Tulane Law Professor Joel Friedman reviewed the investigations and said “this could not be by accident.”

In another filing, Progressive Buildings claimed another employee earned $17,000 in wages and $54,000 in mileage reimbursements. The Worker’s Compensation Board found the company paid many clerical workers more in mileage reimbursements than wages.

8810 rate for clerical is .18-.21/$100 so besides being a crook he is also stupid.

Worked for him for 4 months. Woulda been less but had to find a new job first.

That was a mistake

Sound like a wonderful hire based on the comments here and upvotes/downvotes to those comments.

Thanks a bunch Loud Mouth Dumbass Governor. Just further securing my vote is going elsewhere next time your corrupt arse runs for election.

Follow the money. With NIL millions sloshing around and the new stadium funding in the works, The LSU board is certainly well positioned to pick up a few bucks and maybe share them with friends.
