Advocate: Landrieu may have improperly moved millions in property taxes

Mayor Mitch Landrieu's administration may have improperly diverted millions of dollars in property taxes meant for schools, flood protection, drainage, public safety and neighborhood improvements to several state retirement systems.
That’s according to a lawyer for the Downtown Development District and documents filed in its lawsuit seeking a refund of about $400,000.
According to state Supreme Court rulings and an Attorney General’s Office opinion, local governments are not allowed to use property taxes for expenses not approved by voters. However, from at least 2014 to 2016, the city used between $3.7 million and $4.2 million of those taxes to contribute to state pension funds.
In March, The Advocate reported that the Downtown Development District had demanded repayment of hundreds of thousands of dollars that it said the city had collected on its behalf but then diverted to the retirement funds.

Piece of shite sold the future of New Orleans up the river so he could kick the can on pension liabilities and not have to worry about the problem during his term.

Landrieu has received a state pension of about $80,705 a year since he stepped down as lieutenant governor in May 2010 to become mayor, said R. Stephen Stark, deputy counsel of the Louisiana State Employees’ Retirement System, in an email.
quote:
Landrieu started collecting his pension immediately after leaving his state job because he had served at least 20 years.
quote:
Landrieu served in the state House, a part-time job, from 1988 until 2004 when he began the first of two terms as lieutenant governor. He left that position halfway through his second term to become mayor. In all, he served 22.3 years in state jobs, according to state records.

Let me be mayor.
1) disband the sewerage in ware board
2) bankrupt the city and get rid of pensions
3) fire 3/4 of city hall employees
4) use the money to fix the infrastructure
5) pay NOPD equal salaries to state police to attract a higher caliber policeman
6) profit
Did you notice how no racial pandering was mentioned in my steps?
