For EBRCOA, James Gilmore.


quote:

The Council on Aging announced  Monday that it had hired James Gilmore for the position. He was previously an assistant chief administrative officer in Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome's administration before resigning in August.

Gilmore's resignation came after a public uproar about a federal grant for the Baton Rouge Area Violence Elimination program that Gilmore briefly oversaw.




quote:

The Council on Aging is on the verge of receiving an infusion of property tax money, thanks to a dedicated tax that voters approved last year for the agency. The Council on Aging's budget will skyrocket from $3.2 million to $7.8 million annually starting in 2018.

Gilmore made a lengthy presentation at a Council on Aging board meeting in October on how the organization might be restructured and the ways in which staffers throughout the Council on Aging were underpaid.

Gilmore said at the time that he was working as a pro bono consultant for the Council on Aging.

Council on Aging Executive Director Tasha Clark-Amar also said at the time that she wanted to hire a chief administrative officer as an executive-level position to help run the Council on Aging because her chief operations officer was overextended.

The only thing overextended at the EBRCOA is the waistline of baby girl, Dytarsha Clark-Amar.

I almost feel like I should applaud the blatant, very public corruption

That woman getting elected is proof that a democratic government has outlived its usefulness. As I said in another thread, the general public is too dumb to elect their leaders.

Elected officials in Baton Rouge are similar to dictators...they don't really want to change anything, they want the power and time to grab as much money as possible and then peace out.

I've had one interaction with the local COA - not in BR - and it was a client who was getting her taxes done by a volunteer at the COA. For 3 years straight she filed her mortgage interest as interest income. This poor lady was paying her taxes on it when it should have been a deduction.

COA is a joke.

That's almost as bad as the head of the COA and the COA's top legal counsel writing themselves into the will of someone in their care for the next 20 years and to the tune of $125k.

BR is the Detroit of the south without the remnants of a former industry.
