WBRZ article in the PB thread didn't mention Banks, but said Hudson, Racca, and Moak were voting against it.

People of Baton Rouge need to go back to old school public death penalty.

Adams is definitely against it as well, and she went into the first public meeting leaning “for”.

I know exactly what it means. It’s common in Schizos. Your posts are all over the place. You go from one side to the other……like a schizo. Oh and that laughter emoji is a sign of being a weak minded individual. And thanks for making my point on your very next post,

Nah, apparently not anymore.

Mayor Broome’s office has issued a statement in response now : “There is no NDA regarding the stormwater proposal. There is an NDA with the Parish Attorney concerning our conversations with the Justice Department regarding our MS4 audit
The argument of “we said there was an NDA having to do with the stormwater proposal but the NDA had nothing to do with the stormwater proposal…but we did sign an NDA regarding something else, therefore we weren’t fully lying” doesn’t work anymore.



There is no half truth anymore.

Except you suggested that maybe they “had” to sign it with the consulting firm. To me, it looks like they made up a false requirement to sign it only to suppress information and protect themselves and this bullsh&t plan from public scrutiny, even going so far as to lie to the metro council and pressure them to sign one as well, saying it was mandated by the feds, which has been revealed to be a complete fabrication.

You could say your scenario was half-true

And it appears you were wrong. The in house NDA was evidently about a separate issue.

No the implication was that it was a rude to have an NDA but not one force by the federal government.

Except the whole thing was they represented it as the feds forcing them to sign it. I know, because I personally pressed their spokesman on it at one of the meetings, and he doubled down that it was a DOJ requirement. They lied…bigly.

This.

First council person to call them out wins a lifetime of support from the OT Lounge.

Your move.

Nope. From the WAFB article:

quote:

WAFB has confirmed that everyone in the administration involved in the negotiations with the DOJ and the EPA, has had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.


They didn't say what you said.

Like I said earlier, they were using intentionally crafty language.

They only said admin members had to sign a NDA agreement. They didn't say with whom or that it was about the stormwater proposal.

Why I said it was a half truth

Here is a post of mine from page 6

quote:

The wording seems to be pretty careful.

Party A has signed an NDA....but it doesn't specifically say with whom.

The reason why dumbass saying I was arguing Broome was "innocent" with one of my options was hilarious, because her admin orchestrating unnecessary NDAs (and not with fedgov) would be so much worse than signing NDAs forced on them by fedgov.

I point blank asked their spokesperson “Why would a public entity need an NDA to negotiate with another public entity?”

HNTB Corporation
CEO:

Robert Slimp

Slimp's linkedin page says he is in an organization called Accelerator for America founded by Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti.

Looks like they were trying to make BR more like LA?

The fricking bitch and her lackeys just blatantly lied. All of this discussion about various other agreements and issues is just the smokescreen they created to cover her arse.
She lied without any reservations.

This whole issue should really be an eye opener for folks in EBR.

While this board likes to make fun of New Orleans and Teedy and her blatant in your face misspending of money, Broome has made it a habit to hide this type of action repeatedly.

Also, the interview with Garret Graves shown on WBRZ at 5pm exposed another issue that voters should be more aware of: there are grants available that would potentially negate the need in its entirety for taxpayers to be required to foot any part of the bill. Plus it isn’t a storm water issue as much as a pollution issue.

Similar to other occasions, Broome has consistently avoided federal grants, either outright ignoring them, or missing deadlines. A cynic would think this is because she doesn’t want to have to be put under the scrutiny of federal oversight of a grant compliance.
