Just when I thought I couldn't think any less of Broome.

I guess it's up to Watson to energize the base as our only hope.

Watson's cause will be helped when Broome sues Piazza next to get him out of the race.....

....oh wait.

Re-electing SWB means four more years of the mayor-President attacking the people of the parish because it would hurt one city’s bottom line.



Nah, she'll be too busy having catered meetings and starting committees and task forces to do that.

Tara is going to appeal and has set a 2:30 press conference for today. This could be interesting.

Watson stands a 0.0% chance of beating Broome. Wicker was pretty much the only way to get Broome out of office,

Agree

but I don't think Wicker would be any more effective than Broome.

Disagree
If she puts forth any effort at uniting the city she will have done more than Broome

Yep.

I don’t think this will end well for SWB, LDR, or possibly JBE if he gets drug into it as well.

From dealing with the LDR, if there wasn't a return filed for 2016, there would have been letters sent demanding payment on some fictional amount. I have especially seen this regarding sales tax, where the state sends a bill for $1000 and interest/penalties whenever they don't have something on file.

The fact that Broome's campaign was able to "discover" that there were issues regarding the returns should be looked at under a microscope, considering the person with access to the records is married to someone working on Broome's campaign.

Evidently, it worked. Appeals court says no...

She basically just called out SWB in her press conference.

I really like Tara, I hope she can run.

"If Wicker filed returns in ‘16 and ‘18, you’d be able to prove that. You’d have copies...you’d have a bank statement with a check or direct deposit for a refund. You’d have your tax preparer come testify. The fact that she couldn’t produce any of this is sketchy."

BOOM - This comment sums it all up - Agree.

I am voting for Jordan Piazza. We need a business person to run this local government, not another politician.
