alexandria, la. mayor jacques roy 4th supplemental and amending petition vs councilman roosevelt johnson revealed
when we first posted about mayor roy's fourth supplemental and amending petition back on 24 january 2012 the mayor's petition wasnt on the rapides clerk of court website -- despite its being filed in november 2011.
it is on there now ... and wow! councilman roosevelt johnson is in deep trouble if the mayor can civilly prove not all but just some of his allegations.
if mayor roy wins, councilman johnson will likely have to "forfeit his office" and perhaps even face criminal charges;
not only councilman johnson but also councilman edward larvadain, iii and councilwoman mitzi gibson are named as co-conspirators.
it appears to be quite possible that mayor roy could have all three removed from office. wouldnt that be something?
shame, shame on gannett/the town talk and kalb for shirking their journalistic responsibly and instead suppressing and covering up the news of reporting this extremely important court filing concerning the inner workings of city of alexandria, la. government.
the mayor's petition begins from page nineteen of the .pdf.

alexandria city council should have listened to reverend
image courtesy: the newseum - today's front pagesthe news report gives a pretty good background as to how the history of the lawsuit that was filed by the mayor in august 2007 after the council voted to override his veto.
before the council voted to override mayor roy's veto, there appeared a reverend who addressed the council who told them about a "premonition" he had and warned them about their unwillingness "to follow leadership."
immediately thereafter, the council went ahead and voted to override the veto and it's been downhill for them ever since as well as the council's attorney, jock scott who died.
judging from the information that the mayor is seeking in the subpoenas, it appears highly likely that if he is allowed to amend his petition and litigate it on out, that councilman johnson and possibly other councilpersons could be facing malfeasance in office and/or other charges.

UPDATED city of alexandria, la. mayor jacques roy seeks to amend his petition against the city council a fourth time
UPDATED: 25 january 2012 - mayor roy answered a question about the case at his weekly briefing.
we couldnt imagine what he was on about. it took a little while of searching and we learned that chris roy, jr., on 10 november 2011, enrolled as co-counsel of record in the roy vs. alexandria city council lawsuit originally filed way back on 29 august 2007.
some subpoenas issued to roosevelt johnson and councilwoman mitzi gibson around mid november 2011. there's a subpoena in there for myron lawson too, but he was nowhere to be found. rpso attempted to serve him at least four times -- page 18. it's unclear, from what's available on the rapides clerk of court's website, if he was ever served.
anyway, supposedly both councilman johnson and councilwoman gibson each gave video depositions and we cant wait to see the vids. if we get them of course we'll share them with you.
there is a letter (page 14) from chris roy, jr., to the clerk of court dated 01 december, 2011 in which mr. roy mentions "our recently filed supplemental petition." however, we cant locate it on the clerk's website.
the pleadings we've posted speak for themselves and it looks like some are potentially in a world of trouble.
the place to be on monday, 06 february, 2012 at 9:30 am is at the rapides parish court house in judge harry randow's court room.
