BATON ROUGE- A scathing two-page letter complaint sent to the State Board of Ethics and the State Office of Disciplinary Counsel requests an investigation and refers to the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging as an "organized crime operation."
The letter obtained by the WBRZ Investigative Unit comes 24-hours before fired Southern University Law Professor Dorothy Jackson appeals her termination to the Southern Board of Supervisors. Jackson was terminated after she drafted a will at Southern's Elder Law Clinic for Helen Plummer, a client at the Council on Aging. Plummer did not qualify because she wasn't considered poor.

I don’t understand how they continue to get away with the things they do. I have zero confidence they’ll be stopped.

That's kinda exactly what it is. They have a legit arm that is used to provide political cover for their true aims, which is self-enrichment, money-laundering, electioneering for the state and local democratic party, and voter fraud.

JBE will never allow this Democrat campaign slush fund to be investigated. Don't get excited.

It's gone from mind-boggling to just plain expected at this point. Their entire defense every time is essentially the George Costanza "was that wrong? should I not have done that?" gif on repeat, and every time, nothing happens.

The complaint is wrong
They really aren’t that organized.
Seriously though I hope they RICO the frickers.

How they're able to get away with it is that they're treated like a governmental organization when it suits them, but a private charity when it provides less accountability. Basically, despite being funded by local taxes, they're not a part of the local government. Thus, even if the local government wanted to have some oversight, they can't. In fact, the only person who actually has oversight authority is the governor for some strange reason. But since one of the real jobs of the Council on Aging is to go around to all of the nursing homes and collect absentee ballots and bus people to the polls to vote for democrats, the governor is turning a blind eye to it. The State Attorney General, who is a Republican, is allegedly looking into possible criminal charges.

At this point, I have no confidence that anything is going to happen to them. I just hope they continue to find their way into the news cycle until 2026 when their tax comes back up for renewal.

Last week, Jackson attended the monthly meeting of the Council on Aging where she still sits as a board member. Jackson attended a private moment of the meeting - called executive session - to listen to discussions about the pending litigation that resulted from her actions
quote:
The letter sent to the Ethics Board states "Jackson participated in the Executive Session.... despite the fact that she is a defendant and one of the primary actors which resulted in the lawsuit against the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging."
quote:
When Jackson was asked whether she was comfortable sitting on the board, she responded, "of course." She refused to answer whether she thought it was a conflict of interest to go into executive session about a lawsuit where she was named as a defendant.
Hopefully she will be disbarred next

Good thing the Louisiana attorney general is an elected official who can tell the governor to go frick himself with barbed wire and the current one abhors JBE, then!

Not one single solitary thing will happen.
It’s racist to even have written that letter.

Question for any lawyer / budding lawyer who happens to read this thread.......
1. Assuming nothing ever gets done on the criminal side here, does a BR resident (or anyone for that matter) have standing in civil court, or would that lawsuit have any legs / teeth? Obviously no one person has a ton of damages - question is more out of curiosity.
2. Does the damages portion of the above question effect the answer at all?
3. To whom / how does one go about filing a mandamus? Who has standing to file?

Jeff Landry has picked plenty of fights with JBE so far. This one is long overdue.

Council on Agings are the governors pets if that governor is a dem but not so much if he is an R. GOEA; governor office of elderly affairs is the quasi board overseeing their operations. At one time, they actually were bound by the goea to purchase their insurance from a board member, all 64 coas in Louisiana. That board member-insurance agent also sued and won damages against a coa that went off the reservation for insurance. I have actually thought about contacting this attorney to offer free advise on how to break this bunch of thugs in ebr.

Jack shite will happen to Dytarsha because of her privilege, but let’s give Nak his props. He’s the hero we need.

Just to pile on. Got my mailer the other day and noted that they spent several HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS buying trucks and kitchen equipment. As a private entity, what happens to capital equipment purchased with my tax dollars if they get defunded? What rules are in place to track that equipment? And so on and so on.
