local blog takes a look at the financials of a controversial local political action committee and finds the usual suspects ... with a twist.martha manuel is the former executive director of the governor’s office of elderly affairs who was fired last week cos she didnt learn how to push pi properly.The Governor moved her department into the State Department of Health and Hospitals without giving her any input.
so ms. manuel did what any red blooded american would do these days -- she started a blog to get her version of events out and went on talk radio.
When legislators asked her under oath in a committee hearing about her opinion of the move, she said it would be detrimental to the elderly.
She was fired by Jindal the next morning for giving honest answers to a legislative committee.
Obviously Jindal wants his administration to sing the exact same tune regardless of personal opinion, the facts or their duty to tell the truth. ~ read more

so lets hope this means that this will be a totally screwed up session in which nothing is accomplished!
====baton rouge, la., attorney steven spring tells wst...Since the good Sheriff's office has seemingly come up with three different versions of the status of their investigative file, rather than wait for a response to our lawsuit, and in vigorous pursuit of our clients' interests, we have filed requests for record subpoenas to Jeanie Louque and Mayor Holden for records not only identified in Sgt. Pierce's Affidavit, but also, those records which one would think any genuine investigator conducting a genuine investigation would request.
stay tuned...
We anticipate requesting additional subpoenas tomorrow.
by the way, we love the spring & spring law firm's tag line of "litigators not negotiators."
click here to download twenty-one page .pdf [1.37 mb]now this is one impressively worded petition.
naturally, we're on the side of the plaintiffs, john randolph pierce and darrell wayne glasper, sr. and believe that the east baton rouge parish sheriff's office should turn over all the requested records.
one exception we take to the petition is at paragraph seven (7) where the plaintiffs incorrectly refer to their La. R.S. 44:1 et seq. Public Records Request (PRR) as a Freedom Of Information Act Request (FOIA).
a freedom of information act (foia) request is one made for federal public records. whereas, a public records request (prr) is one made for state and local governmental public records R.S. 44:1A.(1).
if you are an attorney or non-attorney public records requester, blogger, main stream media writer, etc., please properly differentiate between the two - it's important.flip-flop or louisiana style good ol boy network damage control springs into actionanyway, it should be interesting to see how east baton rouge, parish sheriff, sid j. gautreaux, iii, explains away why his public information officer, casey rayborn hicks, was directly quoted by the baton rouge morning advocate in a news report dated 03 march 2012, "affidavit accuses mayor," (.pdf exhibit "a" page 13):"We consulted with other agencies which also received the complaint that concurred with our findings and were unable to substantiate the information," Hicks said. "Our investigation is complete pending any new information that would warrant further investigation."
meaning, that the requested documents, (other than the "initial report" (.pdf pages 20 - 22) which is always a public record (R.S. 44:3(4)(a)) and was provided), were now public records per R.S. 44:3A.(1), -- are not public records after all ... due to "the anticipated pending criminal investigation..." .pdf page 18.====note: this .pdf might open with the documents displaying sideways. depending on how your .pdf reader is configured, you might have to download it to your computer; then from the toolbar click: view; then rotate view; then counterclockwise.====
