re: What is Bowen's screen name? He can bench press 400 pounds.

New Orleans is such a vile shithole.

Bump.

Fired.

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has fired a senior administration official who allegedly crashed his pickup truck while driving drunk in the French Quarter last month and admonished the police that they would regret arresting him.

Most of the mayor's senior staff make more than the mayor. If you really wanna get irritated, look at when Mitch's senior administrators weren't treated as overtime exempt during Gustav.

The city's six deputy mayors and health director, who on average make more than $150,000 a year and are normally exempt from making overtime, collectively raked in more than $100,000 in both emergency pay and overtime.

FOX 8 scoured payroll documents from the end of August through the end of September.

Kopplin, who makes $179,000 a year, earned an extra $14,000. That includes 117 hours worth of emergency pay and 58 hours of overtime.

Cedric Grant, who's in charge of facilities and infrastructure, was paid for 117 hours of overtime. He racked up almost $16,000 more than usual.

Kopplin says that's because he worked almost non-stop. "When we needed new generators for the Sewerage and Water Board Facility, Deputy Mayor Grant was leading the charge in the middle of the night to get generators flown in so we wouldn't have water boils," says Kopplin.

Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Jerry Sneed also saw an extra $16,000 post-Isaac.

Chief of Staff Judy Morse earned an additional $12,000, including 60 hours of overtime.

Deputy Mayor of Operations Michelle Thomas got paid an additional $14,000, working 108 hours for the emergency, including 70 hours of overtime.

Kopplin says, "We had folks out there inspecting capital projects which are under construction now. We had property management staff out there 24/7 making sure our city assets were being protected during the storm from additional damage."

Emily Arata, deputy mayor of external affairs, earned more than $12,000 extra because of Isaac.

Documents show Health Commissioner Karen DeSalvo worked 134 hours for the storm, including almost 90 hours of overtime. She earned more than $17,000 extra.

That’s Big Ole Baw.

is Ferguson the guy who’s caught like 3 DWI’s in city owned vehicles in the last 5 minutes or is that someone else

yep, that’s the one

He did not have insurance when he was arrested and was cited for that as well. So this shitbag crashed his truck into other people’s cars/property and now the victims get to file claims on behalf of their own insurance (if they had any) over this shite?

I hope Bowen get sued into dust over this.
