join forces.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Council on Aging is at it again! They can’t keep their taxpayer-funded hands out of politics! The COA has become the major get-out-the-vote arm of the Democratic Party. Now they bring in one of the most radical politicians in America Maxine Waters to do their work. This is John Bel Edwards and many local Democrats plan to win the election during early voting and on Oct. 12. Use the COA to bus senior citizens to the polls by the thousands. Many of us have been warning about the Council on Aging and how it has been politicized, but the ball just keeps rolling, and those who could do something refuse to do it!

I started a thread on the PT about this

Why the hell is a congresswoman from California coming to BR for a campaign event for someone running for STATE senate, not federal?

And why is this being hosted at the COA?

"Free food and refresh-mints"

Are these as good as the Peach-mints Maxine is always going on about?

I mean, it may be legal, but it seems like this is the kind of operation in the grey area is the shite that got the spotlight put on them in the first place.

They were having their people work on campaign material on the COA clock.

I'd almost guarantee that this is the case here as well. They'r just rubbing it in everyone's faces at this point because they know JBE will ultimately protect his little local Dem slush fund.

This is doubling as a pep rally for the St George incorporation effort.

Still 7 more years before their sweetheart property tax comes back up for a vote.

Thanks EBR.

The CoA is a shitty, shitty organization. I've had to work with them in the past and to call everyone who "works" there unprofessional is an understatement.

FBI Video of Cleo and Edwin E. (~3:00 mark is the interesting bit)

I don't think anything ultimately came of this, but is super sketchy.

Yep. A tax issue at election merely sets the upper limit of how much tax the taxing authority (in this case, the Metro Council) can levy and the time horizon over which the people agree that they are willing to pay the tax. The election does not actually impose the tax because the people can't levy a tax directly. The taxing authority (Metro Council) has the legal authority and responsibility for actually levying the tax and putting the people on the hook for paying it. What they levy this year need not be linked in any way to what they levied last year or what they might levy next year. The only limitation is that it can only be levied for a fixed number of years and the tax levied has to be less than or equal to what the public agreed they'd be okay with. That includes zero.

Don't just take it from me, though, let's hear from someone who knows a thing or two about taxes.

Didn’t they claim they had the camera off during the incriminating part of Cleo dumpster diving for the bribe?
