Looking at the timing of the tweets did the FBI agents just walk into the building and walk out?

And the mayor and city council want to be solely in charge of the power grid and billing for New Orleans? Sounds like homeowners are going to get fined for trying to install an electric outlet without a permit.

Dude. She’s a politician AND a democrat.

She could sell state secrets to the Chinese and the FBI isn’t going after her.

So is it pretty much just this Jay Arnold guy that is in trouble? The article mentions several employees have been suspended, but I didn't see names. I wonder how high this goes with the city officials


quote:

member of Arnold’s staff at the Sewerage and Water Board was also getting hundreds of gas installation permits on the side each year until he let his gasfitter license expire this past January. Vernon Marcotte is a plumbing inspections supervisor at the Sewerage and Water Board.

Like his boss, he is not certified or registered to do any inspections in Louisiana, according to the Fire Marshal’s Office.

Unlike his boss, Marcotte granted WWL-TV an interview and readily admitted he was “just filing permits… and then a licensed plumber would put in” the gas line.

Marcotte admitted knowing that those licensed plumbers were not licensed as gasfitters, and that’s why he let them use his license to get the work.

“A lot of master plumbers don't want to fool with (getting or renewing their gasfitter license),” he said. “I mean, it's just too onerous. And so, I would file the permit for them to go ahead and do their work.”

That admission appears to run afoul of the state’s criminal contractor fraud statute, which says it’s illegal if anyone “knowingly employs a subcontractor who does not possess the required license."



jail all of these people. frick them.


quote:

Marcotte says he's not double-dipping. He’s an hourly employee, but said he tries to schedule inspections of his gas jobs during his Sewerage and Water Board lunch breaks. But the timestamps on the photos of him at inspections run the gamut, from 8 a.m. to the early afternoon on days when he claims 8 hours working for the Sewerage and Water Board on his timesheets.


Seriously string these frickers up. Im so sick and tired of these piece of shite people that reside in this fricking state.

That means the Sewerage and Water Board official in charge of all plumbing inspectors and permitting in the city is not properly licensed to do inspections himself.

Again, why is the FBI getting involved in such a small case as this?

From the WWL report, they estimated he's making up to around $60k a year on the side, which is about his normal salary.

Compared to the other rampant fraud in the department, this seems like peanuts.

I agree. Perhaps enough was enough and FBI was waiting for some low hanging fruit to get in the door?

Nothing negative you could ever tell me about that organization could shock me.
