re: Louisiana finally has a budget surplus thanks to JBE

The more the FBI investigates the more scandals come to light. I am told the only reason the FBI has not brought charges against several politicians including those in the Edwards machine is that every time they question somebody else a new scandal pops up. Targeted minions are rolling over like crazy for the FBI

Some of the scandals that have come to light are

1) deputies working for Sheriff Edwards shook down drug pushers and took their stash to sell through their own pushers. Evidence was often diverted to pushers friendly to the deputies. Two deputies have agreed to cooperate with the FBI

2) bail bond fraud--Sheriff personnel were forging bail bonds--I hear these people are talking to the FBI too

3) vote buying scandal--several politicians in Amite have been questioned by the FBI concerning vote buying. Most are close to the Edwards

4) two people have died in the parish jail and rumor has it---only a rumor--that one was cooperating with the FBI

Of course there is the completely legal slimy Edwards behavior to deal with too. Seems the Governor organized a fund raiser for the Sheriff and vendors of DOTD were the primary invitees. The meal was in Manchac and it has been said the vendors put up several hundred thousand dollars for the Sheriff. Why a DOTD vendor would want to contribute to a two bit sheriff's campaign I do not know.
