WAFB

quote:

Vanessa LaFleur, custodian of records for LDR, testified Tuesday that she was the person who responded to that records request. LaFleur testified that her office could not locate any tax filings for Wicker for 2016 or 2018.

Under cross-examination by Wicker’s attorney, Jeffrey Coreil, LaFleur acknowledged her husband works on the reelection campaign for current EBR Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome.


Broome a little scared...?

That’s enough of a conflict of interest that she should have begged off of the investigation.

Of course, we know this only is expected when someone disliked by those in power does it.

Wicker also said that LDR’s system is “broken” and loses returns all the time.

Verdict - true

Tara Wicker is still the smartest retard in the group of Democrats. I’d only vote for her if there’s a runoff between her and SWB. Which there won’t be. It’ll be one of them against a Republican.

I’ve had cases with Jeff Coreil and he is a very good lawyer.

Honestly the game theory for Republicans in EBR is to get Wicker into the run-off with Broome. The last thing to do is pit an incumbent Democrat against "Captain Conservative" - it'd be a suicide mission.

Why waste a vote then in the primary? Go ahead and vote for Tara in the primary. Only chance we have to get SWB out of there. Voting for a white republican is a lost cause unfortunately. Tara is the better option of those two.

I disagree. If Republicans turn out they can win.

So SWB's minions filed lawsuits against 2 of her 3 biggest challengers in Watson and Wicker. That's absolutely pathetic. She is scared out of her mind.

First Broome personally sues to overturn a vote of the people and now her allies are suing to toss opposition candidates from the race for mayor. She’s got some big money types backing her, and people need to wake up.

I tend to agree.

In 2016, Broome won by 4200+ votes. And the Central precincts, where Bodi White is from, only had a ~16% turnout. Doubt that will happen this year with the presidential election, but I do feel a republican can win.

Bodi White wins if he was a stronger candidate who could get out the vote. My question is whether or not Watson is much better.

Has there been any discussion about who may be financially backing Piazza’s campaign ? I noticed several Wicker and Piazza signs on the same property this weekend. My guess is that her supporters are backing him in hope of cutting into Watson’s vote. She and Marcel have to keep Watson out of the runoff if they want to have a chance.

I mean, in her defense, it's very possible LDR hasn't yet processed her 2016 and 2018 returns.
