St. Tammany Sheriff, DA, Coroner, Mayor, all indicted.

All four of these guys have been indicted over the past few years. Three convicted. One is in the slammer; two have served time. Things don’t look good for Strain. What is it about St. Tammany Parish that makes it a breeding ground for corruption of elected officials? I don’t think it’s just coincidental. Is it a cultural thing?
ETA: A Tammany Fire Chief is under investigation for murdering his wife.

How long had they been in elected office? After you've been in office for several elections, it can go to your head, authority-wise.

Been part of the culture since the French colonial period.
These guys (plus Price and the fire chief) would be running Orleans Parish 60 years ago.

What about the fire chief's wife murdered.
"The body of Nanette Krentel, 49, was found July 14, 2017, after fire destroyed the couple’s home. An autopsy later determined she died of a bullet wound to the head in what the coroner’s office ruled a homicide."
Husband (Fire Chief) has very suspicious body language: Video
And, yes, I forgot all about Eddie Price. That said, I thought he was a very nice guy and a terrific mayor - minus that little causeway thingy.

It was a clique of people that tried to cover for each of their criminal actions

This isn't unique to St. Tammany. I wonder how many pols should be in jail from other parishes.

That crew was in power for a long time. Hell the most corrupt ones retired and one is actually running for office again.

I would blame it on transplants from the New Orleans area, but the Strain and Reed families have been in the area for generations.

St. Tammany has a lot of the “old” families who have had power here for a long, long time. I think two things have happened- new blood in the parish, and over time the politicians get away with it for so long they get sloppy and lazy.

They are your typical small town corrupt politicians. Except, the small town grew up. The resulting access to money and power was too big for them to handle.
