re: BR Business Report: Stormwater-gate spells end for Mayor Broome

Yep. You know it’s bad when this was released from Business Report. Although, as one poster mentioned, her constituents largely do not read BR Business Report, the movers/shakers in town do. Those are the ones who likely determine her fate.

The mayor and DA's in both Baton Rouge and New Orleans are too important to leave up to the cities alone IMO. I would like to see an amendment added to make those offices subject to statewide or at least regional elections.

Edit: Also some of those "movers and shakers" like Engquist or Bernhard really need to start stepping up and throwing their weight around. BRPD is mismanaged. The public works department is mismanaged. The mayor's office is a joke.

This isn't a Democrat vs Republican thing - we need competence and leadership in the city and it's just not there. IF that doesn't change, we are going to see more missed opportunities and more stagnation while the suburbs continue to grow. Ultimately it puts the entire state at a disadvantage to have leadership failures in its largest cities.

Not so sure about that. Her disapproval rating is worse than Joe Biden's - well over 80%. So I guess it depends on who runs.

Oh I absolutely want to be wrong about my statement

It's sad that it takes a story like this for any of the local media to actually criticize this incompetent administration. They've been ignoring the incompetence for years and only now are they trying to pretend that they're objective because there's a massive story that they can't pretend doesn't exist. And, to be honest, I think a large reason as to why Broome and crew would attempt such a bold plan is because they knew the media would help them do it.

Interim Mayor Ed Orgeron.

When there is a D after their name, the media looks the other way until they can't possibly avoid the issue. It's been happening with the Biden administration too. They also give JBE a pass on things like the Ronald Greene debacle and the lockdowns/mandates.

Serious question - if she's recalled, does the governor appoint the interim mayor until a special election is held?

I have no idea who that would be or if they'd be even remotely competent. That person would have to clean house at BRPD and in city government.

Who is going to run on the R side? Steve Carter and Matt Watson again?

Is Gravy going to rock the boat?

Is John Delgado coming back for more?

Gravy and Delgado would be Democrat challengers. So she'll try to appeal to the blacks to keep them from being popular. Unfortunately that means she has to be "anti-white" in a lot of ways because that's important for a big part of that voting block.

We need a competent Democrat (likely a black one) with a Baton Rouge address that can appeal to enough whites to be a formidable primary opponent to the field of idiots that will try to run when Broom gets indicted or recalled.
