Some NOLA Power Types Are Tax Deadbeats
Leave it to Lee Zurik over at WWL to dig dirt on those folks in the city that don’t mind not paying property taxes on time.

For more background info here’s a post that has some good links.

Curtsey to Adrastos for this heads up. (background can be found at American Zombie)
Could we be seeing a “Recovery Bunny meltdown? “Don’t touch the Recovery Eggs children!”

Nagin Must Go…
By Wednesday I will have the recall petition papers in order to rid New Orleans of the greatest hinderence to our recovery- Mayor C. Ray Nagin.
Right now I’m compiling data from others that show how Nagin is trying to kill our city. If you have data that shows the machinations of the Nagin Administration, please send them to me.
This is for the Marigny/Bywater/French Quarter. This is also for the 70 acres of homes in Lower Mid-City. It is also for each and everyone of use busting our tushes to rebuild post-Flood. This is about saving the soul of a city we love.
Ray Nagin needs to go back to Dallas.

Merry Christmas From The Church of Our Lady Of Gentilly
It’s 78 degrees, humid and thunder clouds are amassing. It’s supposed to be cold and snowing, but the Nagin Administration is in charge of scheduling the weather (because C.Ray “controls” the vertical and the horizontal in order to help us buffoons get by. Evil minion Blakely probably had this job since he’s the Recovery Czar.) Well the snow came two weeks early, but at least Nagin and his minions actually made something happen. We should give thanks for at least that I guess.
Enough of that snark.
Tonight Betts, our dear friend Elaine and I will be holding court at Le Cote Brasserie on Tchoup. Then we head out to see friends at the Starlight and play games, come home for “A Christmas Carol” with Alistair Sim and then your’s truly gets to start prep work for tomorrow’s dinner- Prime rib on the Weber and the fixens.
To you my Gentle Readers and for everyone in the New Orleans area, have a Merry Christmas (Bill O’Reilly liked that) and may you and yours have a great time. (Carpetbaggers are not included since they work for the Grinch) And to the NOLA Bloggers- I give you all a big hug and a kiss.
This bitch will be back on the 26th.
Be Blessed!

The City Council Speaks and the Mayor’s Minions Still Go His Way
Here’s the latest, and I ain’t saying anything until it all blows up next week.
Fuck it, Nagin is NOT getting the money for his “glittering jewel” (probably wants it named for him).
Save the Mid-City New Year’s Bonfire
I mentioned this topic yesterday.
Now there’s a petition to Save the Bonfire. Go and sign it please. We can’t allow the fuckmooks and Nagin’s Minions to destroy our way of life.
Sinn Fein!

Why Can’t I Have a Free Car, Gas and Insurance?
I do my job as a proactive citizen- helped create a neighborhood association to work on the rebuilding of NOLA, am a 10 year Veteran of the military, work on Trans and LGBT issues, fight for food banks and just keep up on the news about what’s really going down here. Why don’t I have a city-payed car?
Yes Gentle Readers, the above is pure snark.
The point of this is that the city provides free vehicles, insurance and fuel for many city employees. Why the Hell must my tax dollars go to provide a car for someone who works for the city? None of my past employers gave me a free car, and I was a General Manager for some of the largest bookstores in the country. Being in the Navy didn’t get me a car. These people who are hired/appointed by the City to jobs don’t own cars?
There are only a few positions in city government that should provide individual vehicles for workers, and that’s Mayor, City Council, the Fire Chief and our top medical advisor. And NO… they can’t take them home. And city-paid fuel should only be for official duties. (Commuting from home to work and back is not an official duty. )
Our City Inspector General (yes, the same position our Mayor tried not to finance), just issued his first report on City spending on vehicles just from the Administration offices… it is a glaring example of waste considering that these are OUR servants. The full text of the report is here.
It is far past time for the fuckmooks to be taken down a few notches. They are abusing the citizens of the City and mostly never deliver on what their job provisions require (or they bring the deals in over budget).
We, the people of New Orleans, MUST reclaim our power as citizens.
And Mayor Nagin is trying to assert his “authoriti” concerning the City’s budget, and I’m leaving that poop to others to illuminate the junkyard of Nagin’s minions.
Sinn Fein!
