re: St George organizers fail to get enough signatures for Nov vote

You must not read the paper either.

Front page news!

ETA paragraph from NOLA.com

quote:

---

Attorney Mary Olive Pierson, who is representing the city-parish in a lawsuit over the recent annexation of the Mall of Louisiana and other properties, also told the newspaper that the city-parish will sue as soon as the petition is filed -- something St. George organizers have been expecting. That might further delay an election.

That too is from a column written TODAY.

If you guys don't think the city is rolling out their big guns to stop a vote think again. Mary olive is getting paid 175 bucks an hour up to $17,500.00 to represent the city and was hire by the Mayor's Office. The same Mayor who represents the entire parish is going to use legal means to stop a vote.

According to the contract, Baton Rouge attorney Mary Olive Pierson will be paid $175 per hour, for a total of $17,500 for the calendar year — which is the threshold for a contract that does not require approval from the Metro Council
