In testimony before a House committee on May 11, Sen. Regina Barrow, D-Baton Rouge, said she didn’t receive an opinion from the state Attorney General stating Council on Aging leaders were prohibited from using their own resources to campaign for their dedicated tax until after the COA had already started campaigning for the tax. It was a curious assertion. Barrow had requested the attorney general opinion on April 4, 2016, and the AG’s office had drafted its response to the senator, then a COA board member, on April 19, 2016, according to a copy of the opinion included in a recently released Louisiana Legislative Auditor’s report. Now, Daily Report has confirmed that the AG’s office did, in fact, send the opinion to Barrow on the same day it was drafted. According to email logs provided by the AG’s office, an electronic copy of the opinion was sent with an email cover letter to Barrow at 5:19 p.m. on April 19, 2016.

“The opinion concludes that a CEO of a Council on Aging organization may not expend public resources to support a millage on a public ballot,” Assistant Attorney General Shannon Dirmann wrote in the email, reiterating what was stated in her formal opinion.
The following day, April 20, the AG’s office mailed a paper copy of the opinion to Barrow, according to records.
What COA leaders knew about state election laws and when they knew it is significant because the recent audit suggests the board of the embattled agency may have violated state law by using public resources to campaign for a dedicated 2.25-mil tax that voters narrowly approved last fall.
time to clean house.

I'd like to thank the folks of the metro council that walked out so we could have an additional 30 days for all this to play out

After COA goes belly up, Nak needs to evaluate CATS service.
Taxpayers should know how poorly run that org is too.

The only CATS busses I see with people on them are at the LSU games. Even then they nearly frick up the contract each season getting greedy.
