The one clerk now has to work out of two offices a mile apart and manage two separate staffs in separate locations.
Why can't an elected politician manage only two offices with two venues?
He isn't processing the actual work but only oversees the employees performing the work.

The benefits outweigh the risks.
The benefit of eliminating two judges is worth prolonging pretrial detention and shifting costs from salaries to detention? What exactly is the benefit?

To do what?

Shortly after Duncan, an exonerated Black man and a Democrat, won the seat by 68%, GOP State Sen. Jay Morris of Monroe, under Landry’s guidance, pushed through unusual legislation to eliminate the position completely — just days before Duncan was scheduled to assume office
First him being black is inconsequential.
Second New Orleans has TWO judicial systems and TWO clerks of court UNLIKE any city in the country that I know of. Maybe there’s another corrupt cesspool of a blue city who created twice the number of positions as needed to reward political benefactors like nola that I’m unaware of.
These Nola judges are so far removed from their actual jobs they had no idea any of this was going on until it was being initially voted on and when asked for comment by our local Marxist mouthpiece media they actually stated they had no idea.

It’s not overriding. If they were overriding they would be replacing the nola knucklehead with someone of their choosing.
JUST LIKE the Marxist democrats did with Kamala

Hahahajajaja! Say what? 95% of New Orleanians don’t even know about it

Orleans Parish merged the Civil and Criminal Sheriff's Offices in 2010, according to State Law. There is no reason why the same can't be done with the Clerk of Court's office. No other parish in Louisiana has separate clerks or sheriffs for civil and criminal matters.
EXACTLY! It’s nothing but another form of corruption and nepotism

quote:an exonerated Black man Didnt he accept a plea deal? How does that exonerate him? Plea deals are an admission of guilt, are they not? quote:Duncan pled guilty to manslaughter and attempted armed robbery in exchange for being released after time served Why Yes. Yes he did
He was released because he was factually innocent and the state knew it. Otherwise they wouldn’t have fricking released him at all, plain and simple. The plea aspect was basically a glorified Alford plea to keep him from suing in turn for being released. I know that it keeps you up at night that he’s free.

Wrongggg. Everyone I talk to is ecstatic and want the rest of the city gutted since our taxes on everything are sky high in Nola with ZERO to show for it

Yes I do unfortunately and I care just not in the way you want. Suck it. After a century of democrat rule this city needs all new leaders

Why do you ? Considering you are about as dishonest as they come

I also have a problem with eliminating judgeships in an already overwhelmed and backlogged court in the name of “efficiency.”
Wowwww lmao. It’s overwhelmed because of incompetence and indifference and just not caring.
The judges take off all the time and really hate working.

I 100% agree

quote:The synopsis of the bills I read says, if adopted, the new laws will eliminate UP TO eleven judges across several levels: criminal, civil, juvenile, and municipal/traffic courts.
The benefit of eliminating two judges
That means it's likely the consolidations and eliminations of that many judges and their associated bureaucratic staffs will save 2 - to 3 million dollars a year.
So, to answer your question... YES, it is worth it.
quote:Straw man (woman?) argument.
is worth prolonging pretrial detention...
Civil and traffic courts rarely, if ever, issue pretrial detention. And juvenile courts usually detain the up-and-coming miscreants only in the cases of violent felonies or if the hearing office determines the public is at risk of injury.
Stop being such a Drama Queen.

He was asked about his earlier statement that he knew the female witness to the shooting was white, he was quoted in Reed’s report as saying that “it had to be a white woman or else they wouldn’t have kept working on the case"
The only way he would have known that fact was he had to have been at the murder site.
He indeed pled guilty to manslaughter. That is not being exonerated
* CrimeStoppers segment re-enacted the crime and a reward was offered. They received a single tip naming Calvin Duncan.
* A caller claiming to be Duncan’s girlfriend reported that he was living in Oregon.
* Two Oregon police officers testified that Mr. Duncan had spontaneously provided details of the crime that were unknown to them.
*The gunman was noted to have gold teeth. Mr. Duncan, at the time had gold teeth.

This part is hilarious. I'm sure folks are concerned in Cincinnati or Topeka, Kansas.

Good. I’m glad you think he’s guilty and got off. I take pleasure knowing it upsets you.
