What is he talking about?

He just consolidated all his power over all public works. Shouldn't he be in his office coordinating a response to the rain?

You would think. He fired the entire S&WB management and demanded the head of the DPW step down and he's the head and president of the S&WB.

I'm surprised he has time for this stupid bullshite.

And I hate that mother frickers shirt.

Someone go punch the mother fricker in the face.

quote:

The New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board is poised to buy 20 sewer pumps for twice the amount FEMA estimated they should cost because the board's request for bids called for a specific brand and model of pump that only one local vendor can sell in Louisiana. That vendor, the politically active Harahan firm Parson & Sanderson, has told contractors bidding to install the pumps that 20 of the model required by the city will cost almost $900,000. Another vendor agrees with FEMA's estimated price, about $450,000 for the 20 pumps, and says he can provide another brand of pumps of the same quality for roughly that amount. That supplier, Tony Stackpole of Allan J. Harris Co., wrote a letter to the S&WB in which he says that Parson & Sanderson is using its position as the exclusive Louisiana seller of Fairbanks Morse pumps to inflate its prices.


quote:

Cheaper in Texas

In Louisiana, the Fairbanks Morse brand pumps can be purchased only through Parson & Sanderson, a longtime player on the local political scene. The firm's principals are major donors to many political campaigns in Jefferson Parish, although the company is active across the region, particularly in the suburbs.

With no other supplier able to meet the requirements for the Sewerage & Water Board job, Parson & Sanderson faced no competition in setting its price. The company quoted a price of $896,850 to contractors seeking the job from the water board, contractors confirmed.

Stackpole thinks that's too high, and as evidence, he provided a quote for a Fairbanks Morse pump -- the same model number desired by the water board -- that was drafted by a company that holds the rights to sell the brand in Texas. The price given by the Texas vendor, who cannot sell them in Louisiana, was about 75 percent lower than the price Parson & Sanderson quoted local contractors.

quote:

In his letter to the water board, Stackpole called his competitor's price "inflated" and said he can provide Yeomans Chicago pumps, which compete with the Fairbanks Morse brand, for half as much: $457,000.

When will they play the soundbite of him taking responsibility and saying "it's my fault I'm in charge it's my fault"

Why won't someone point out that Mitch is the head of the S&WB. I want him to answer to that.

Who will do it? Him nor the council will see any repercussions from this, so they are just wringing their hands and looking concerned

Boom. Post of the day in a day seeing many great posts.

NOLA.com reporting SWB is being privatized at the mayor's direction. I cannot tell you what a huge blow this is to Mitch's constituent base.

I mean, it just cannot get anymore perfect in terms of the effects of electing liberal democrats to run things. The constituents will get empty gestures like toppled monuments, but when it comes to the things that really matter, they are getting the shaft.

What a day. I hope it stops raining from a meteorological perspective, but I hope the great posts on here continue raining down.
