Dove conceded it is not clear at this point whether the state would have to pay back the $422 million to the boards that administer those funds.

Senator Pat Connick, R-Marrero, pleaded for urgency in solving the issue.

“We’re gonna lose this money,” Connick warned. “All this money’s gonna go to damages, breach of contract and the citizens of the state are going to get nothing.”


So basically all the folks involved are going to get filthy rich for doing nothing. and the greased in companies are also going to get a ton of money for breach of contract penalties. on top of that! the state might have to pay back money that was "free" to the state in the first place. So its a double dip special.

We really do get the government we deserve. Lets keep arguing about abortion and Palestine though!!

I like how all of the sudden it is a problem for the parish. Like they didn't know the scope of the project years ago.

It is shockingly clear that whoever issued that stop work order is not worried about future generations. They are only worried about protecting their pockets now.

I really do hate this place.

Take it out of PERS and LASERS.

You have folks who have been in yalls system for 30 plus years with shite for brains that are making North of 120K and get to retire with the same amount.

Start cutting the funds from the retirement of the boneheads who put us here.
