Looks like the top aide for one of BR's most historically incompetent Mayors just got busted for taking over $200k in kickbacks.

Girl got problems now.

Witchhunt?

ETA for those unfamiliar with local BR politics:


Not racist, just another dirty politician caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

This is just normal Louisiana stuff. Nothing is shocking anymore. Our entire state government is an exercise in corruption

I don't think these allegations are that taxpayer money was stolen, unless these contracts led to inferior work, and then you could kind of spin it that way.

Yes I believe these charges are specific to kickbacks.

She probably went to the Latoya Cantrell school of Kickbacking.

However I bet the number of people w/in the BTR government who are skimming $50k, $100k, etc out of accounts with zero oversight is staggering.

It's part of the reason why everything here is broken and looks like crap.

Oh yeah she deserves jail time if they prove this is true.

It's corruption, just not that kind.

This should serve notice to all EBR Parish citizens.

When you see all these feel good “initiatives” they are mostly there so that friends of the politicians can profit.

Tax payer dollars going to all these NGOs need to be stopped. We can’t hire enough cops, clean our ditches, put forward a storm water plan, stripe the streets, etc., but we have no issues with funding regular projects in the “community” like the one in the OP.

Don’t get me wrong, some probably do some good, but so many are only there to provide business for the right people.

The same money that would have went to another contractor to do the same work that was being bid on.

These motherfrickers' full-time jobs are stealing taxpayer funds. It's a weekly news story at this point.

I only went to the regular LSU business school. Can you tell me where the government gets the monies to pay 3rd party contracts?

From the Advocate article on the same topic: She “resigned from the mayor’s office in July 2024 after she was accused of beating a man with a chair at a Baton Rouge night club a month prior. A video recording of the incident later surfaced in a civil case against her.” There’s a link to the video in the article. You can’t make this stuff up
