Sorry if Germans.

BATON ROUGE — East Baton Rouge Parish School Board Superintendent LaMont Cole is being investigated by the Louisiana Attorney General's Office as part of a wider corruption probe into the city-parish government. Multiple reports say that Cole is being investigated by a state grand jury over matters tied to his time as the Metro Council member for District 7 from 2016 to 2024.

Cole is the latest city-parish official to come under fire as part of the grand jury's probe into corruption involving the Capital Area Transit System and multiple mayor's office initiatives, including councilman Cleve Dunn Jr., former mayoral aide Courtney Scott and former CATS Chief Administrative Officer Pearlina Thomas.

"During this time, we encourage everyone to remain calm, avoid speculation, and allow the appropriate processes to move forward," a spokesperson for the school district said in a statement following reports of the investigation into Cole. "Our focus remains on what matters most. We will continue serving our students, supporting one another, and continuing the important work happening in our schools and departments each day." WBRZ has reached out to the AG's office to learn more about their investigation into Cole.


I just received the district email with the spin...

They done pissed off Liz Murrill with that BS indictment.

quote:

Earlier this year, Attorney General Liz Murrill told the I-Team the investigation would continue.

“Anybody who steals from government programs, we are going to go after them, and we’re going to try and hold them accountable,” Murrill said. “It is illegal to defraud the government and defraud the people of this state of both the funds and the services that are intended through the proper use of these funds.”

Last week, Metro Councilwoman Twahna Harris and former Metro Councilwoman Chauna Banks both testified before the grand jury. Both said they were told they are not targets of the investigation.

Possibly. But for everyone's sake, "remain calm!"

Social media. The exact same ones screaming about the AG going after a black man are also the ones saying a bunch of white kids killed Nolan Wells.
