Who else voted against it? I'm not a fan of Delgado, but I'm glad he spoke up. If I lived in a district represented by one of those who voted for the settlement, I'd be pissed as hell. Talk about a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I am so sick of lawyers citing the "it's cheaper to settle than to fight it" argument. Settling just encourages the next BS lawsuit and the one after that. Totaled, I don't believe settling out is cheaper. We should have the reputation that we will fight tooth and nail on every lawsuit. I would rather pay out big on the few legit ones than pay out small over and over again.

In the matter of Mckesson's lawsuit against the city, Delgado and Councilman Scott Wilson voted against settling the suit and doling out $25,000 from the city-parish.
Council members Chandler Loupe, Trae Welch, Chauna Banks, Erika Green, Donna Collins-Lewis, LaMont Cole, Joel Boé and Tara Wicker voted to approve it.
Ryan Heck did not vote and Buddy Amoroso was absent from the meeting.
