quote:

A lawsuit filed Monday claims Councilman LaMont Cole no longer lives in the district he represents on the East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council and argues he should be disqualified from running for reelection — and potentially removed from the council.



The petition was submitted by Gwendolyn and Tom Stone, both constituents of Cole's District 7. They say Cole currently resides at 438 Bellewood Drive, which is located one block outside of the district's boundaries.

The lawsuit claims the address is listed on Cole's driver's license and voter registration documents. The Parish Assessor also lists Cole as the owner of the property.


quote:

The East Baton Rouge Plan of Government requires council members to be both a qualified voter and resident of the district they represent. If that qualification is not met, the "office shall at once become vacant."

Attorney Andrew Murrell, the spokesperson for the St. George incorporation movement, is representing Gwendolyn and Tom Stone in their petition. LaMont Cole is one of the plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the incorporation of St. George.

Cole declined to comment on the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims Cole improperly listed his domicile address as 665 N. 39th St. when he qualified for reelection on Friday. That is "an abandoned property without working electricity," the petition states.

A hearing on the lawsuit is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Thursday before Judge Trudy White. The judge will have 24 hours after hearing the case to render a judgment.

This makes it sound frivolous. But then:

Looks like a clear case of fraud to me, but we all know the outcome.

Even Lamont doesn't want to live north of Florida Blvd.

If true that's clearly fraud. But I'm sure Judge White will find a way to dismiss it.

North 39th Street is almost as worn and weathered as Mary Olive Pierson.

Not sure, but if you Google map that address it doesn't look like an abandoned property. There is an abandoned property right next to it, but Google maps shows that as 663 N 39th, not 665 N 39th.

Trudy making the call to do nothing strengthens the chances that a similar disqualification case against a mayor-President candidate gets tossed.

Shitbag voters that she panders to and an inability to get a successful corruption case against her.
