Gov. Edwards’ Louisiana Auction Licensing Board appointee Jacob Brown, who was sentenced to 10 years at hard labor earlier this month for stiffing Louisiana taxpayers with worthless checks after he was awarded state surplus auctions soon after Gov. Edwards appointed him to the Auction Board.
For this feature, we feel we have little choice but to resort to the “C. B. Forgotston method” of delivering blog posts. Forgotston was very, very instrumental in Sound Off Louisiana founder Robert Burns forming this blog. Forgotston was known for publishing extremely short, succinct, and to-the-point blog posts.
Because we’re getting inundated with evidence of a total overload of corruption this week, we feel that we have little choice but to deploy the “Forgotston delivery method.” So, here is today’s blog post dedicated to C. B.’s memory and respectfully borrowing upon his reporting style as best we can:
–> Gov. Edwards’ Louisiana State Police Commission (LSPC) appointee Sabrina Richardson under investigation for alleged impropriates entailing off duty details. This is not her first rodeo in that arena as a similar investigation transpired in 2015.
—> Gov. Edwards’ Louisiana Auctioneer Licensing Board (LALB) appointee Jacob Brown sentenced to 10 years at hard labor with credit for time served entailing theft of $180,000+ for worthless checks to the State of Louisiana. Those worthless checks were issued soon after Edwards appointed him to the Auction Board with his administration then proceeding to award Brown lucrative state surplus auction contracts.
Brown, who used the taxpayer funds to help feed a drug addiction (which we believe should have been VERY obvious to his colleagues while he did serve on the Auction Board), will receive credit for the time during which he has already been incarcerated for his theft. Brown was also ordered to pay $175,342 in restitution. He faces similar charges entailing private consignors in another jurisdiction in Louisiana, and the credit for time served applies only for the matter in 19th JDC in Baton Rouge for which sentencing was handed down earlier this month.
–> LSP Trooper Michael Lynn Satcher, II, who was arrested for alleged domestic abuse on October 12, 2019, had his trial, which was scheduled to commence today (after several prior settings), continued without date. Our sources indicate that Satcher’s defense attorney may need more information from the prosecutor (Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry’s office).
We really don’t like doing these “wham bam, thank you ma’am” features as we consider what makes us distinct is the extensive level of background and depth we provide, but we’re presently already working on more upcoming features than we can possibly crank out in any reasonable timeframe, so we simply felt we had little choice but to pay tribute to the late C. B. Forgotston and borrow his style on this particular feature. There was nobody better than him at deploying the “just the facts ma’am” style of reporting, but it’s just not our own preferred style of reporting.
