But the media keeps telling me everything is ok..

...so I'm not worried about this:

Con-Profit status moves to Severe

While Slabbed and others have been sounding the alarm for some time, it seems the MSM is catching up.

I'll direct you to this post on Click-Jefferson:

In addition to state funds, both groups have also received funds from Jefferson Parish.

The Jefferson Sports & Scholastic Foundation is a group that was formed by Councilman Lee and Lee’s campaign treasurer, Lester Dunn, is the group’s director. The group has a Gretna address but is also “not in good standing” with the state’s Secretary of State for failing to file corporate reports with the state. Their last report filed with the Secretary of State was in June 2008.

As ClickJefferson.com reported in 2007, through the years, Councilman Lee has funneled almost $200,000 in funds the parish received from the River Birch landfill settlement to the group. These funds were intended to be directed towards projects in Waggaman where the landfill resides to improve Waggaman’s quality of life.

In his bio on the Jefferson Parish web site, Councilman Lee is listed as a Board Member of the Thompson Thibodeaux Community Development Group. 

The group is also “not in good standing” with the state’s Secretary of State for failing to file corporate reports with the state.

In June of 2009, the JP Council approved giving Thompson/ Thibodeaux $300,000 for “exterior painting and minor home repairs to a minimum of forty (40) low and moderate income elderly and handicapped homeowners in Jefferson Parish.” It is unknown if this work was completed.

Heads will roll.  I wonder if Byron took the La Cosa Nostra oath with C-Note and Ike?

Hey C-Note

...when you gonna name Byron your Chief of Staff?  That was the deal, right?  What happens if you don't honor that deal?  Does BL know where the bodies are buried?  Does he sing like Meffert?

I-Team: Check Records Missing In Jefferson Parish

Funny how so much public record goes missing around you and your peeps.  You think that shit will fly in D.C.? 

I don't know man but it's gonna be really fun to watch.

Are you in compliance?

Con-profit alert status moving from elevated to high.

Chinese Democracy

Another brilliant editorial by Mr. Gill.  I love the Chinese wall metaphor, but I do question one assumption:

That's why newspapers are so meticulous in covering election campaigns and mulling the issues before issuing endorsements.


Perhaps the muffled voices he's hearing on the other side of the wall may be lost in translation.  Although my kids' school is starting to teach Mandarin, so I'm optimistic about the future.

Sweet Buddha

...the irony....

Really?

Meff Mans the F up

I will no longer refer to him as Muppet.  He stood up, took responsibility and kept babies' mama out of the pokey.

Former N.O. tech cheif pleads guilty

How far we've come.  In case you forgot how far, here's a flashback:

American Zombie: The Garland/Meffert interview

Housewives of Belle Chase?

I think it's time:

Greg Meffert expected to plead guilty in federal corruption case today

Things can't be looking too good at the St. Pierre residence in Belle Chase today.  Ironic that Muppet rolls on St. Pierre but dude has nobody to blame but himself.

I think we're about to see a very lively November/December down at the Hale Boggs abode on Poydras.
