New Orleans Mayor Latoya Cantrell embroiled in scandal

Allegedly Two New Orleans City Council members have asked a federal judge to launch an independent investigation into allegations and possible conflicts of interest involving Mayor LaToya Cantrell and a city cop.

The allegations were raised in a Lee Zurik investigation which showed that New Orleans police officer Jeffrey Vappie, a member of Mayor Cantrell’s security team, spent dozens of hours inside a city-owned apartment during work hours.

Fox 8 analyzed 45 days of surveillance video from a public camera right outside the Upper Pontalba Apartment entrance. On 35 of those days, Mayor Cantrell was spotted at the apartment. Vappie was there on 27 of those days, sometimes more than once a day.

Just before Zurik’s investigation aired, the NOPD reassigned Vappie from the mayor’s security team and the department’s Public Integrity Bureau launched an internal investigation into whether he logged more than 16 hours and 35 minutes of work in any 24-hour period. Council members say the PIB investigation isn’t enough.

New Orleans is rotten with corruption. Always has been,always will be. So shes gettin some dick on the clock? At least she isnt looting the treasury like ever other mayor.

Wasn't that long ago their Congressman was found with stash of un enexplainedc cash in his freezer.
