What is the crime in inquiring about renting an apartment?



You think she's using her own funds? Must be really stupid if you think gross misuse of tax dollars isn't a criminal offense.

She’s paid by the city to be mayor. Her salary is essentially taxpayer money.
Are you saying she cannot pay rent because her salary is taxpayer funded?

The affair with a police officer is troublesome in some ways but certainly not illegal.
Her lavish lifestyle is troublesome but certainly not illegal.

This article is talking about her attempts to rent space. That is not illegal.

I’ve yet to see one poster reveal the real crime here

The Pontalba apartment is owned by the city and to be used for entertaining guests, business leaders, and visiting dignitaries. It not intended to be used as the mayor's personal love shack. She was previously warned by the city council, but LaToya being a strong black woman, she ignored their guidance. As usual.

The issue isn't renting an apartment at fair market rates. The implication was that she was suspected of soliciting a free apartment or possibly a deeply discounted rent. The T-P didn't have the balls to print that.

Anyone who doesn't realize by now that LaToya is a corrupt piece of shite who's sole concern is bleeding the taxpayers for her own personal gain isn't paying attention at all.

I’m with SlidellCajun on this one. I love New Orleans and hate LaToya.

But I don’t understand the criminal offense here and you all are saying “it’s implied” “you can’t be that stupid if you think that’s all”. I want a clearly defined criminal offense here. That doesn’t require reading between the lines.


So a person donated to her political campaign. And she asks to rent one of their properties. That isn’t illegal. Even if the tenant was like “hey I’m a big fan of what you’re doing for the city you can rent it for $10” that’s not a crime either. Even if she negotiated for a cheaper price or whatever. That’s not a crime.

……… some of you really want her nailed to a cross that you’re just worked up into a frenzy.

I don’t see the point of this article. It isn’t outlining a web of dirty money and corruption just yet.

With City money or her own money? Is she suspected of trading with political favors? I don't quite understand what they're investigating. I think the woman has zero morals and I'd love to see her go down. I don't think I understand this investigation,though.

If he is on the clock while she is on the cock, that’s certainly a case for payroll fraud.

I think the Feds probably leaked the new subpoena info just to make sure everyone knew she's under constant surveillance. The apt seeking might be a fishing expedition. I don't know.

But I do know that it seems like the Feds have a microscope up her arse and if they do, they're bound to find something illegal. LaToya doesn't impress me as a criminal mastermind.

Did you really say “you can rent it for $10” and nothing wrong with that?

I could be wrong, but That’s a bribe for favors in city hall. As a Mayor, there are certain ethic codes and taking sweet deals all over the place adds up. Follow the trail for Botswani and the other crooked business guys in the city, see what they have been involved in since she’s been in office, I guarantee there is smoke behind those doors.

I have heard through the grapevine that the feds are looking into several different things with her, not just this stuff.

They are VERY interested in her I will put it that way

They should be.

What happened with the woman who shopped for her clothes? Wasn't it determined she was paid with city funds? I can't recall the details.

Look all I’m saying is how do you make that a crime.

You’re telling me if Trump walked into my store and I gave him some free stuff because I like him and what not … that that’s a crime?

I may be naive I just dont see how you separate political and private transactions. Hey I like you here’s some cheaper rent.

I mean unless you have a phone transcript of like “I’ll rent it to you at this price if you do X for me” … “ok deal” type of transaction then I don’t think this is anything of substance.

Now do I think she’s a corrupt piece of shite and deserves to be in jail. Yes. But that’s my hunch.

This story certainly doesn’t seem substantial to justify my feelings of that however.

Agreed, I get the impression that she would and probably has easily implicated herself without even realizing it and then when it's exposed she'll act as if she outsmarted everyone and not give two shits. Oddly enough reminds me of Les Miles who would say bizarre and incomprehensible gibberish and snicker and walk off like he just won the press conference.
