Did iftikhar Ahmad teach physics at LSU, circa 2007? I swear I had a professor with the same name

Eta: looked him up, different guy. He doesn't work for NOLA anymore though

Majority of these titles sound absurd and are being paid well.

Curious, how does this compare to other cities nola size?



Actually it is pretty similar at the top to the salaries I can find for Wichita, KS, roughly the same size as New Orleans. However, Wichita has 64 employees making over $100k, so they're not as bloated.

Touche.

However, the stakeholders in public employment are much different than the stakeholders in your average private company.

It's a misleading and strange job title. If you look at the power tree they're actually 3rd or 4th in command. They're deputy mayors. Their job titles were probably coined before admin meant secretary if I had to guess.

Kevin Dolliole, who is currently an aviation consultant, previously led the San Antonio and St. Louis airports and started his career at Armstrong Airport. The New Orleans Aviation Board last week selected Dolliole for aviation director starting June 26, the city said Tuesday (May 23). Dolliole's salary will be $265,000.


The same last name of the woman that Landrieu is allegedly shacking up with
quote:


Source with knowledge of Landrieu’s private life indicated to us yesterday that the mayor no longer lives at home and has moved in with his mistress, a former communications director for the mayor’s office named Devona Dolliole [see photo], and that Ms. Dolliole, who is black, has been a personal influence on Landrieu’s dogged efforts to remove the monuments.”




quote:

We have some other questions about the Landrieu-Dolliole liason: 1) Was Devona Dolliole once married to one Aaron Dunitz Greenstone, a Washington, DC, lawyer? 2) Is Greenstone, whose middle name reportedly is his mother’s maiden name, of Ukrainian Jew origin? 3) Is Devona Dolliole a descendant of Jean-Louis Dolliole, a free mulatto who was an architect in New Orleans in the 19th century? And 4) Did Jean-Louis Dolliole own slaves and/or use slave labor to build the houses he designed in NOLA?

I would venture a guess that people in private industry in charge of multiple facilities, a large inventory of items and probably a couple hundred employees would get paid at least this much. (not taking into account benefits)

If someone has an idea what a similar job in private industry would pay please share, I am curious.
