Just thought I would toss this in

Amar blasted out her side of the story in an excruciatingly long-winded and mostly unresponsive post at The Rouge Collection, the website belonging to rotund race-hustler Gary Chambers who was one of the reflexive defenders of the COA director. We’ll save you the time and trouble of reading it by passing along two observations: first, outside of making vague and unsupported accusations that Helen Plummer had been “neglected” by her family, which the family hotly disputes, Amar had nothing much to say about the controversy at all, and second, among the items included in her long exculpation was a reference to paying COA’s payroll out of her own personal funds. That isn’t so much a red flag as a May Day parade full of them, and it suggests the possibility of commingling of funds that would make the idea of dumping property tax dollars into this organization without an oppressive level of oversight a prospect completely out of the question for responsible adults.

It isn’t just the Plummers being victimized here. The Baton Rouge Business Report did an article back in January about the Council on Aging, and found out that Amar’s salary is a whopping $104,000 per year – a princely amount, but just a little piece of the $1.8 million in salaries the COA was doling out.
That number is more than the vast majority of Councils on Aging even take in from the taxpayers, and it represents a level of overhead which is more or less criminal in comparison to the standard for charitable organizations.
