I actually don’t have as big an issue with the email access by the assistant as some of you do. Most executive assistants have access to the exec’s outlook and send out emails, calendar invites, etc for their boss.

Now, in this case there was no good reason for the email to be sent from Alar’s Email account rather than the assistant’s. But the access itself is no huge red flag for me.

But this letter is pretty pointless. It doesn’t really offer legitimate reasons for any of the egregious acts surrounding the will. And it basically blames Ms Plummer, who obviously is no longer able to offer her side of the story.

I do wonder about the motivation of the letter. Is Amar feeling the heat from her board? Or is it simply a response to public criticism?

She's apparently has dirt on the former assistant to threaten his current gig to the point he wrote that letter.

But, of course, the Democrat way...always someone else's fault.

She’d need a damn platoon to try and cover her fat arse.


All this does is dig the hole deeper

You guys act like $500 a month is a lot of money to administer an estate. I tell you what, she was going to have to put up with dealing with all those greedy family members constantly demanding money. Phone calls emails, stop bys at the office-- saying no to all their bullshite reasons?. I wouldn't do it for a lousy $500 a month.

Yeah 20 years of putting up with that bullshite. And what's $500 worth 20 years from now? No how no way,

I don't care what Nakamodo supposedly "exposed". I've read some of the court filings. The family is typical bunch of greedy trash and I can;t imagine putting up with them for 2 decades.. People have no idea what they are talking about...

This has nothing to do with St. George as the COA is parishwide and St. George residents would still be subject to their slush fund tax.

I'm not familiar with the situation but I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that someone with a name like that is of the cultcha'd variety.

125k is a lot for someone allegedly seeking no compensation. Also, the blatant conflict of interest is the biggest issue here.

Advocate Editorial Board wrote their opinion on the matter last week and it wasn’t pretty for Tasha, Jackson, or the COA

Knowing the Advocate, I found that to be pretty shocking.

Amar and COA is just so unabashedly corrupt.

That's correct. She should never have gotten involved due to her position as the head of the COA. I'd love to see some sort of legal charge, but would settle for her arse being kicked (by a very large boot) to the curb.

She absolutely, unequivocally, without doubt, undeniably, and unashamedly committed a violation of state ethics rules.

I can promise whoever takes that job is either an idiot to do it for $500 bucks a month or is going to charge a helluva a lot more than that.

The COA board should have forced Amar to resign and if she did not then she should have been fired.

I think she is trying, and failing, to cover her fat arse.


It's not uncommon for executive assistants to have the ability to send and receive emails from their superior. It's actually very easy on Outlook and doesn't require sharing passwords.

ehhhh, there's a difference between giving someone your Outlook / Windows credentials and giving someone access to your Outlook calendar. Everything you described can be done just by giving access to your calendar, minus sending emails as TCA.

I don't know of a single exec who would take the Audit risk and hand over their domain login credentials. but i can't imagine the CoA IT department could swap out a broken keyboard / mouse much less run a proper audit.
