We should all remember that she was caught using campaign funds to get her hair did and buy clothes before she was even elected. She ain't scared.
Don’t forget she got busted during the campaign for having charged personal expenses on her city issued credit card while she was still on the city council. Conveniently repaid those expenses after getting caught

So after reading the article, if the OIG is involved they had to have a referral. Generally those come from two sources on local government level:

1. Auditors/Audits
2. Agency/City Employees or Elected Officials

Be interesting to see where this originated.

I’m not missing any point. People will suffer in New Orleans long after her reign.

And those that say she isn't worried. Well, lets agree her level of concern went up a few notches today.

City Council. It was no secret where it came from or what he is investigating.

City council has been fighting with the mayoe and IG over sharing info.

Maybe the rumors about Beau Tidwell leaking info are true.

He may be slowly leaking info to the IG.

He has to have some really dirty dirt on her.

Remember the thread / tweets yesterday connecting her former PR flack Beau Tidwell?

Without a doubt. He might be doing his own deal cutting.

Wow! This news certainly can't be helping her anxiety. It's not just on "bidness" travel anymore!

I would think Beau is feeding info to the Council members.

They are orchestrating it and really public about it.

Well whatever the source, the OIG scope is never limited and that's what always concerns employees and officials.

So for instance, they pull on thread but that could lead to several other places with several other investigations.

I would be frankly shocked if this came from a Council Member unless they that confident everything is above board. Its almost always an audit or employee.

The best news is that she’s obviously not being protected anymore. People are talking and she was dumb enough to put things in email. Once the media and donor protection falls, so does the house of cards.

Well good for them. They must have been presented some plain evidence they couldn't overlook.

Cantrell’s Achilles heal is financial management and her desire to live large.

She didn’t pay her property taxes.
She demands and justifies flying first class on taxpayers dime.
She lives rent free in a multi million dollar apartment.
She had lavish parties in city owned property that she calls official events but really just entertainment for her and her posse.
She has drivers take her to fancy restaurants and bars.
She goes to all the big events and hangs with celebrities.

It’s always other peoples money too. She creates “non profits” to run interference for her to spend as she wishes. The non profits are smoke screens.
she never intended to use that money legitimately. She’s always looking for ways to spend it to her benefit by coding the expense under some legit code. She’s an entitled politician with a voracious appetite for the big life.

Confront her and she throws black and female in your face as though she’s justified.

And on top of all this the former police chief reopened his civil suit just this week.

It seems like all this is being very orchestrated between several groups

While this has been going on for decades, the taxpayer will spend multiple millions of dollars to find out she hoarded a few million in side, and kickback money. Then it would cost millions more to prove, , convict, and more court coat to even try and associate others in on it.

All that depends on which end you're referring to. Even for the end of this one alone, most will say it's worth it.
However, there were plenty before her and will be plenty who want to do the same after her, which if this puts an end to that or at least minimizes it for future shitty politicians because it sends a message, then it is far worth it, even financially.

It started with the smart cities and some other 1 year contracts that seemed fishy.

No doubt they have inside help on where to look though.

smart cities thread a while back
