Surprised not surprised.

This whole thing is because someone’s favorite got told to GTFO because he kept lying and didn’t want to follow the rules.

It’s like middle school politics. It’s “the teacher was after me” not “I got caught riding dirty.”

so there is no good reason for him siding with the libs. He needs to check for his balls... I would never vote for him , if he is this cowardly


I'm sure he's got a reason that probably isn't as black & white as you may think. I have personally witnessed him kick Gary Chambers out of a council meeting. This whole case is admittedly pretty bizarre, but it sounds like Batson was just overly abrasive and not well-liked.

In most professions that’s a drawback.

As a lawyer, that’s a boon.

Agreed. EBR needs more abrasive people in its ranks. At least they get shite done.

At the risk of pulling the feminist card, an assertive male manager is a dynamic leader. An assertive female manager is a bitch.

Jesus H. Calm down, dude. I meant not well-liked amongst her associates within the C-P government. This was taken from JR Ball's story in the Business Report yesterday. But don't let that stop you from flailing.

she has contacted each of them individually in the past two weeks “to discover and address your concerns about me and or the office. No one has been willing or able to articulate a specific problem.”

quote:

Batson suggests the reason some council members have been pushing to oust her has to do with reforms she has implemented in the parish attorney’s office

quote:

“Implementing those policies within an entrenched workforce has, not surprisingly, ruffled a few feathers,” she writes.

Councilman LaMont Cole is a no good POS

ETA: I hope she files suit against the city and never has to work another day in her life. They were moving to remove her out of a job and never gave a reason.

Lea Anne is good people and will be better off not having to deal with all the BS any more. She'll land on her feet. I can't say the same for the city of Baton Rouge.

This Council and administration are a JOKE!!

Between Exxon and this, can we just go ahead and put up the City of St George City Limits signs?

Batson’s job has been in question ever since Councilman LaMont Cole began pushing for a hearing to remove the parish attorney in late December, though he never said why.

I hear what your saying and I wish she would have stayed and let them fire her. But, since she is on the agenda to be removed from her duties as parish council - especially after contacting each of them individually to understand WHY and they would not discuss it with her ??? Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part

I really don't understand why she didn't force him to come out and say it, unless they had some dirt on her. They either had dirt on her or she knew they had the votes and decided to preemptively resign

well at this point, if you are white and simply disagree with a major black politician in BR, you're a racist. if you're black and disagree, you're an Uncle Tom. she probably was just like "frick this" when it wasn't certain to avoid the circus

Looks like EBR is well beyond banana republic status.

These idiots chase off Exxon and we’re Detroit with some governmental jobs.
