Secondly, it has local control over maintaining voting machines, a big part of controlling the voter rolls, and in election vote counting.

The Criminal Clerk had this power?

Think he gets it now?

It wasn’t losing judges or relative DA warrants. Or anything else.

But consolidation of the Clerk of court positions

I’ve never heard a single person, in Orleans or elsewhere, even have an opinion about a CoC before. But suddenly it’s a bedrock issue.

The NO legislative caucus saved roche over that commie lady with more seniority on the bench when they were eliminating judges.

Wonder if he improperly repaid any debts during this. Clearing the courtroom and ordering a reporter to be cuffed and removed seem a little out of the ordinary.

This maybe the nuclear option, could the legislature vote to dissolve the city of New Orleans home rule charter and vote to place the city in a new form of governance or split the parish into smaller jurisdictions.

So more political patronage?

The real threat would be consolidation with other parishes to eliminate even more of these government jobs (which needs to happen across the state, especially in the sparely-populated northern and coastal parishes)

This is why we need to do everything possible to prevent democrats from taking the senate and house in midterm elections. New Orleans is a microcosm of what will happen if dems take control

Over time they know that consolidation will eliminate useless career leeches that populate the combined departments.

That’s fine, and I’m all for it.

I’m not for it this way.

They should have eliminated the position before an election was held, instead of the week after the election was held because the candidate who won the election is someone that the governor and his pal Cannizzaro don’t like.

It reeks of impropriety.

The position of criminal clerk had existed for 175 years, but it needed to be eliminated the week after Duncan won the election? If this were a republican won position being eliminated in this manner, this board would be having a 5 alarm meltdown and screaming about “election interference,” and, “this country is done for!”

This is typical slimy Louisiana politics on both sides. It’s embarrassing.
