A clerical error? Is she saying the preachers and the church groups didn't get enough money?

I wish a clerical error would add a 0 to the end of my salary.

So you're not corrupt, you're just plain incompetent.


That's not a good consolation prize, Sharon.



Surely there's a paper trail on all this nonsense, right?

Well it's gonna be of the self-hate type bc she's about to go to war against her own, blaming them for everything and theybin turn will spill the beans on her.


This is a good point. I can actually see this happening. I can see her trying to clear her name from having ANYTHING with Silky Slim specifically and then he gets all pissed because he thought she was down with what he supports and then he will realize she just used him to get "his people" to the polls.. So he will get pissed and do/say some ignorant shite that will come back to her.

I agree. They'll muddy the waters to the point where people are tired of hearing about it. Like it or not, she'll be doing shite like this for the remainder of her term.

So it's OK throw a little sugar to your supporters, in these other programs; but not BRAVE.

Unreal

No more taxes, they waste enough already.

I think it could have a long term effect.. Hopefully..

There will be a percentage of her voters who will start to realize she might not be the Mayor they thought she would be. It might be a small percentage, but considering how close the election was last time, it could have an impact..

"It has been discovered that there was a clerical error in the purchasing department, and the department name on some of the BCJI/YES contracts was entered incorrectly," said Janene Tate, spokeswoman for Broome.



And now we have a legitimate fraud case.

So does this mean that all of the contracts that were cancelled or put "on hold" will now be released again and the high school kid will in fact get is $10,000?

John Kennedy is after her now

quote:

I write with deep concerns about recent media reports detailing alleged misuse of Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination (BRAVE) contracts. The original intent for the BRAVE program was to pursue strategies that reduce violent crime in Baton Rouge. However, the reports indicate that some contract recipients appear to have had political influence or provided questionable services unrelated to crime prevention, such as poetry workshops.


quote:

First, Arthur "Silky Slim" Reed -who recently said that "justice" was delivered last year when Gavin Long murdered three law enforcement officers and wounded three others -was awarded nearly $10,000 to advocate for non-violence.


quote:

Finally, I ask that you provide to the taxpayers and to me a list of BRAVE-related contracts and transactions funded with federal tax dollars. Within that request, I ask that you provide details of the selection criteria for each consultant and the specific metrics used to evaluate recipients and subsequent award amounts.


quote:

Please also provide a detailed explanation of the accountability measures used to ensure each consultant met the stated goals within the awarded contract.

The mayor's office is going to call that a political witch hunt by Republicans and tell him to frick off.

They ought to just set up camp outside her office. This shite will be weekly for the rest of her embarrassing term.
