Did she do anything wrong other than be white?

He was Lea Ann’s pick as well and he is qualified. I get the “not surprising “ comments but he’s a straight shooter as well. Let’s say it could have been a lot worse and not what Cole was looking for.




So this has to be more than simply Batson yelled at department staff? Seems like they wanted a rubber stamp to enable the council member's less than better instincts.

I made a little bet with myself before clicking this thread, and guess what...I won!!

When it was announced she would be resigning I figured this would be the outcome but when I saw the name Andy I thought it was a honkey.

I think Lamont Cole wanted Knightshead for that reason and because he was complaining about how she was running the office. He didn’t like being told how to operate by a white woman. He won half of what he wanted but if anyone in that office was to be picked it was Andy Dotson.

I am 61 year old white republican lawyer. I’ve had numerous dealings with Andy. Great guy and great lawyer. This guy does not see color.

She put policies in place to prevent conflicts of interest with regards to attorneys representing people who can or will sue the city parish.

Lamont Cole’s buddy in her office was told he couldn’t represent anyone arrested criminally by BRPD for that reason. He lied about doing so and about discharging them as clients, then finally resigned in November effective mid-January.

Cole’s push against her “coincidentally” started right as that happened.

Baton Rouge Metro Council

I knew he would be the "right color", so thats no shocker to me. Even though he is black, he may actually be the most qualified - so I'm not ranting just yet. But, the selection process for the permanent position, I'll be watching closely. I'm sure the usual gang will pull some kind of stunt.

What was a slick devious under-mining move was when fat arse Shaunna Banks wanted to exclude the entities that were receiving the millage less than 5 years from being studied for budget evaluations. The COA would be lone entity in that category. You can guess who all jumped on that bandwagon...Thankfully, the motive was quickly recognized and the entire item failed.

This council is the most racially divided as I can ever remember.

Correction...I was wrong in my original post/reply. Confused this person with another Assistant City Attorney. My mistake.

You can thank Banks for that.

Things were bad under the last council which had a number of members term limited out who ran for mayor. The current council is worse because of Banks’ failed attempt to have Buddy Amoroso’s seat filled by a black liberal rather than his widow, which only failed because Tara Wicker has scruples.

Was Cole trying to get Knightshead the job?
It seemed like it but was never actually stated that I saw
