But considering the delays in taking the building down, I think people are starting to ask why. And LaToya is on record against a City Council investigation. Lo and behold, she's the single biggest beneficiary or Kailas' political contributions.
I think the delays are due to lack of competence and urgency on the behalf of the developer, combined with perhaps a lack of access to funds.
OSHA and the private attorneys, at this point, shouldn't need the building up anymore for investigation.
As far as a council investigation, those go a lot like congressional investigations - a lot of screaming and no action. Between the lawsuits and OSHA, we good on that front.
I bet if someone looked hard enough, they would find lots of donations from Kalais and others, to the council members, to Charbonnet, etc.

Jason Cantrell may have money coming his way from some of those Kailas interests as well.

Thet had the plan to implode the building pretty quickly. Seemed like early decemeber, all clean by March or something. The caveat was 1031 needed to take down two more buildings next door.
City, and most the citizens, balked and said there had to be another way.
1031 went back to the drawing board and came up with the traditional demo that required shoring up the building then demoing, Novemeber timeline. Took another month or two to come up with this plan since.
City, and a lot of the citizens, balked and the original implosion plan came back in.
Not sure how long these plans should take to develop. Haven't done any implosion work. Only demo work I been involved in took a few months to plan and execute, but we weren't trying to beat some clock.

The PR dude yesterday pretty much called out the council on its bullshite. They said they have had no updates and the atty said there is a phonecall ever day from the fire chief giving an update
Seems like that is pretty damn easy to prove.
