When was Buddy's term up? I live in his district and we are just going to put another conservative on the council when it's election time again.
The replacement takes the spot until the next special election, which would be in March. November elections are too soon.
The special election would be to fill the remainder of his term, which would end in 2020.

A move worthy of Mitch Mcconnell

While I no faith in JBE, it’s at least gotta be better than Broome picking.

Just came across this nugget:
quote:
Gary Chambers, who publishes The Rouge Collection and is a frequent council attendee, posted on his website July 6 — the day of Amoroso’s funeral — that Amoroso’s open seat gave a “historic advantage” to black council members.
“The ball is in the court of the black democrats on the council to influence the make up of the metro council moving forward,” Chambers wrote. “If the democrats remain united, they can force a potential historic change for the city of Baton Rouge.”

i kind of want JBE to make the pick to put him to the test before he faces non-Vitter opposition next year

This is certainly a sad situation, but I have to say: isn't this the exact same situation we're all complaining about with McCuck?
Except on a much smaller scale.

Which rule? That the family of the deceased picks? It's not a rule. It's just tradition.

Despicable but doesn't surprise me coming from him.

Yeah, because you don't live in Baton Rouge.

Just when you thought it was impossible for him to be a bigger fat piece of shite...
Let’s hope he doesn’t mind when the next vacancy occurs during a Republican governorship. Because this shite will have repercussions.

Gary and co won’t be completely satisfied until all of BR is a shithole just like their neighborhoods.

Where is Gravy's momma's house? Maybe he can be the appointee.
Posted on 7/10/18 at 5:29 pm to Brummy
Related questions - what kinds of recall options are available for the appointee and is it possible for us he parish council to have a lack of quorum until the permanent replacement is seated?
This kind of frickery is beyond the pale, even for them, and should be countered however possible if dimwit Banks gets her wish.

Not in Louisiana. In Louisiana, per the state Constitution, local governments are considered to be inferior arms of the state government and subject to its whims.

It has nothing to do with saving the taxpayer money. Period.
So will the City of Baton Rouge be cutting a check back to the unincorporated area for the roughly $50 million in taxes collected from the unincorporated area to subsidize the city budget?

These are real first class vermin. You could be looking at a future CBC member coning from that group some day.
