in jim brown's latest column (see link) he mentions mandeville, louisiana mayor eddie price:[T]here seems to be a new revelation about Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price as the sun rises each day. Price has been alibiing his DWIs and squandering of city funds for months now. And it’s hard to top his logic of misuse. When auditors raise questions about his using a city credit card to cover the cost of a cruise to Mexico and other personal travel, Price simply said that he is on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week and (I love this part) "takes note of architecture and other things that provide a benefit to the city while he is on vacation." I’ve been around public life in Louisiana for almost 30 years, and I’ve never heard one like that.
now that is clever. we cant wait to see how the state counters that argument.
