As opposed to stacks of abandoned tires?

$400k total.

9 jobs at $20k and one at $200k. The extra $20k goes to insure contract renewal.


Someone working at the tire shredder was gonna make $200k/yr?

dude it was racist for me to pick up trash as part of community service while I was in college.


I too have spent many hours picking up trash in NBR and in Alexandria. BY FAR, the three most common items are foil flavored cigar packages, lottery tickets, and fast food wrappers. It’s 90% of the litter on the road.

NBR has a pretty high number of orange tipped syringes and beer cans too.

He is such a moron.

He doesn’t have the brain power to fathom that the plants built there then the stuff built around them. That was all a decent area of the city at one point.

The blight didn’t come until...well, you know.

They should paint all the tires to look like donuts and put them all in Gravy's backyard.....he'd shred every damn one for free.

I think there were a few words mixed up originally.

For anyone who has ever dealt with the City Parish or the permitting division this should come as no surprise.

Dysfunction is putting it mildly.


Unfortunately I have to deal with this side quite often. It gets worse by the day and truly is eye opening how inept they are up there.

You could learn how to stand on your head and stack greasy BB's before getting one of these people to do some actual work.

I use MyPermitNow.org. Greatest thing ever invented. I don't have to speak to a single city parish employee.

Am I to assume that the real reason the deal fell through is that she didnt bribe the correct people?

Cause thats how it works in Alabama and I doubt Louisiana is any LESS CROOKED.

I think Gary is retarded. I really do.

On one hand, he's bitching about having the tire thingy in NBR and on the other hand he's bitching about them not selling the product in NBR.


Plus, NBR is the dump.. we all know that. Clean up your hood first, gravy. You dont put valuables in a sewage pot.

There was supposedly a $200k/yr job associated with this thing, so it sounds like the kickback was all lined up. Our mayor is so incompetent that she still couldn't get it done.
