If its childish then why did you bring up the council vote first?
You wrote: "The city council member who knew the guy approved the sale" as if only one city council member got to approve the sale. I replied the entire council, not just one member, voted to approve the sale. And the "city council member" you referred to having approved the sale was NOT EVEN A CITY COUNCIL MEMBER WHEN THE VOTE WAS HELD!
quote:If all public disclosure and bid (auction) laws were followed then I don't have a gripe with it. Maybe it's your fault for not paying attention to the public notices that the property sold so cheap. Maybe you should be investigated for allowing the property to sell for so little.
by backing the city I meant you are OK that they didn't care to do a proper evaluation, that they were negligent in letting this property go for nothing, and perhaps they violated state law.
Or, maybe you're just bitching for the sake of bitching......AGAIN.

What do they mean when they say Heck "carried the deal through the process" ?
Russian would have you believe this deal happens all the time, and its just one of things that fell through the cracks.
But the article clearly says that there was a "process" to follow. Obviously Heck knew how the process worked and as an elected official he made things happen for this developer. The article even says Heck had done this once previously on another piece of property.
This was not a sheriff's sale. Unpaid taxes were not an issue, there was no lending institutions involved, this was a piece of property the city=parish purchased to widen the highway or the road.
The City-parish owned this property and it was worth something. A buyer came forward, and Heck helped the buyer get the property put on the market. But instead of selling the property in a more traditional way by hiring a broker, the city=parish chose to auction it off without setting a floor because they wanted to save money on an appraisal.
Russian says nothing wrong here, move along, the guy just got lucky. The City-Parish broker no laws. The City-Parish did nothing wrong.
I think I'm going to call my councilman, maybe I can buy the River Center cheap.

1) We have a developer, a known friend of a city-parish councilman, and a city-parish who has helped him in the past to get parish property put up for sale.
This one fact right here says frick This deal and frick anyone who supports it or defends the process.
Russian, you wanna meet at Sonic?

because you believe they complied with the letter of the law,
quote:No, he didn't. He just said he thought an appraisal could have been made. He didn't say anywhere in the quote you provided that an appraisal was required or that any laws were broken.
when we already have a state official questioning as to whether or not they did.
If you believe a law was violated get off your arse and go fill out a complaint and try to have someone arrested for it.
Stop making shite up.

The way you are acting leads me to believe you do know the developer personally. No way a guy gets this upset on a message board unless he has skin in the game.
If I'm insane then you're covering for your brother in law because this deal doesn't pass the smell test, the state auditor knows this, and so does this demented guy responding to you.

Please quote me where I've written anything like that. You can't do it. 
The rest of your post is just as silly.

It may be in this thread somewhere.. but does anyone know the actual auction date?

You're officially off the deep end on this.

It was advertised on three dates around Thanksgiving, if I had to guess the auction was held on Christmas Eve.
But don't worry, the letter of the law was followed, nothing is out of line here, and anyone complaining about the City-Parish selling valuable property for 10 cents on the dollar is insane.

You "officially" declared me insane, demented, or whatever; so I can say about anything now right?
After all its all to deflect attention away from the way you've been defending Heck, the city officials, and city hall.
That's the real issue, how can this happen? Legal or illegal, we all know that none of us can get stuff like this done. Hell most of us are lucky to get the city-parish out to fix a pot hole!!

According to the OP linked article this process to dispose of this property has been going on for quite a while....more than a year. Heck was on the council last year until he decided not to run for re-election.
My earlier point to the other poster was to refute his claim that Heck voted for the sale at the council meeting. Heck was no longer on the C-P council when the sale vote was taken.
The vote was held on December 14, 2016. Heck (along with everyone else present) voted "YEA"

The sale closed in February according the Business Report article linked on page 4 of this thread.

I feel so sorry for the tax payers of Baton Rouge, they are the ones who truly lose in this situation. Sad.
The reality of the matter is that if this auction had been advertised properly, the news outlets would have picked up the story of such a high trafficked land going up for sale and it would have drum up a competitive auction.
Honest question here, were state taxes being paid on this land, and if so, what was the property value of those taxes based on?

So Heck was involved with listing it, and auctioning to a friend for 10k, all while he was councilman, and never mentioned the low sale price ? (but never technically voted to approve it, because his term expired)...hmmm

Nothing to see here, you're demented or insane or both.

Good to know. The Business Report article had its facts wrong when it said the sale was "earlier this year."
So the city council motion to accept the auction results was adopted unanimously?
But, I thought Ryan Heck solely approved the sale?

He voted for it. See my post above. The vote was held in December. It's not uncommon to sell surplus property so it's safe to say the other council members didn't realize the value of what they were voting for b/c of the 'generic' legal description of the property. No way Heck didn't know.
