Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards

Soon after Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards appointed Rev. Freddie Lee Phillips to the Louisiana Auctioneer Licensing Board (LALB) on April 20, 2016, an action which Gov. Edwards rescinded on May 5, 2016, Sound Off Louisiana received what we believed to be highly-credible reports that Gov. Edwards was prepared to make wholesale replacements to clean up the years of corruption entailing that board.  Our sources were wrong!  In the following video (along with the support links below it), Sound Off Louisiana’s founder, Robert Burns, explains just how fast Gov. Edwards was to cave to the “good ‘ole boy” network of auctioneers and continue the corruption train on the LALB initially established by his predecessor, Gov. Bobby Jindal:

Burns explains exactly how JBE’s most-recent LALB
appointee, Jeff Henderson,
has been backed into suing his own father, Marvin Henderson, in Federal Court
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for alleged fraud perpetrated by Marvin Henderson.

Louisiana Revenue Department’s sales tax lawsuit
which was in place at the very time then-Gov. Jindal appointed Jeff Henderson
to the LALB.

CLICK HERE  for the Mississippi sales tax JUDGMENT recorded against
Marvin Henderson.  It was in anticipation of this type of filing that
likely prompted the formation of JAH with Jeff Henderson and Janet Cagley
(Marvin Henderson’s son and daughter, respectively) in the first place so
that a judgment would not attach to the company’s assets.

(which the pleadings above allege were “removed” from the website upon
Henderson executing a sworn affidavit stating he “has no ownership
nor holds any office with JAH  Enterprises, Inc.”)

in which it’s stated she “collaborates” with Marvin Henderson, yet
the above pleadings indicated Marvin is “neither a shareholder NOR
officer of the company!”

Keith Babb, who himself bullied an elderly man who dared file a complaint against him,
and who would reference this PATHETIC document as an “auction contract,”
inducts Marvin Henderson into the NAA Hall of Fame.

of shill bidding, even going so far as to say a law to enforce stiff penalties
against the practice will “put ME out of  business.” (8/2/10

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry

At the meeting of the Baton Rouge Press Club of Monday, May 23, 2016, Louisiana
Attorney General Jeff Landry sharply criticized media reports he assesses as
“wrong and designed to sell more newspapers” entailing his legislative
initiatives to impose financial penalties on specific governmental agencies
assisting sanctuary cities in Louisiana.  Video highlights from AG Landry’s
presentation follow:

Landry outlines sanctuary cities legislation.

Landry outlines rationale for pushing for independent AG budget.

Landry flatly rejects an assertion by Elizabeth Crisp (Advocate reporter) that
Landry may be engaging in a power grab entailing his 2016
legislative initiatives.

Landry responds to a question by Sue Lincoln (Public Radio) entailing
whether it is “appropriate” to impose financial penalties on entities
assisting with sanctuary cities in Louisiana.

Landry has to aggressively fend off a contention that sanctuary city
legislative initiatives he’s supporting would impose broad, sweeping financial
penalties for agencies such as the Port of Greater New Orleans and
the Louisiana Superdome Commission.

Landry provides an example of him being unable to save the taxpayers
money on a car he recently rented because he lacks the flexibility to
negotiate a better rate due to the Division of Administration stating he
must follow their protocol.  He then has to fend off an inquiry on why
such authority should be vested in him.

Landry responds to a question by Sound Off Louisiana‘s Robert Burns
on ways he’d like to make the AG’s Office more efficient if his
legislative initiative becomes law.

Landry weighs in on Elizabeth Crisp’s question entailing his recent
decision to address President Obama’s transgender bathroom mandates.

CLICK HERE to see Attorney General Landry’s presentation to the Baton Rouge Press Club in its
entirety.

Note:  AG Landry’s sanctuary cities initiative was killed in the Senate Judiciary-A Committee by a 2-2 vote.  The two Senators voting to kill the bill were:  Sen. Danny Martiny (who made the motion to defer — i.e. kill — the bill) and Sen. Wesley Bishop.

To see debate of the issue, view the Senate broadcast here.  Presentation begins at the 13:50 mark.
