Now that the Waste Management nuke has detonated, let’s explore the radioactive fallout.
The answer my friends is clearly on the Slab, as SupaSleuth indeed lives up to the moniker. So I put some of the names up in the post tag but those wanting all the skinny regarding some of the allegations Waste Management levied against Parish Government for double dealing should check out the Sleuth’s comment here. Great stuff my man.
Also Whitmergate wrote a guest post for us back in June which touched on the same subject.
Tom Capella is in the post tags because there is a Capella in this woodpile maybe 2. I think most everyone understands the significance of Bob. Adams and Reese because of the Coulon lobbying connection.
I feel safe in saying everyone that matters is reading this post. Additional color in comments about Bordelon and his relationship with Lagasse along with the Capellas mucho appreciated in the greater Slabbed Nation.

I understand that Bordelon is a lobbiest for IESI in the north Louisiana market. He is also councilmanic aide to Elton Lagasse. So, at the same time, he is employeed by IESI and Jefferson Parish. IESI has the garbage collection contract in Jefferson Parish.

Hey, speaking of Jefferson Parish, I’ve been watching STEVEN SEGAL: LAWMAN – for the people of Jefferson Parish (LA)…he’s a Deputy Sheriff – have you seen it? I love it. Segal is a “Reserve Deputy” but he’s been w/that precint for over 20 yrs. (according to the show). Have you seen it?

Segal was sued earlier this year by a young woman who claimed Seagal kept her as a sex slave on the set of the show. The suit was settled.
He is dicked up with all the political cronies. I do not think he has many fans here but I could be wrong Shirley.
That said you’re a love to bring up the show.

Keep your eyes on the St. Pierre crime camera explosion because the word on the street is that Jefferson Parish politicians are next. A town that is home to a recent musical festival on the Westbank also has crime camera from the St. Pierre experience. Leverage from this is helping in River Birch many suspect.

Clerk of Court John Geggenheimer has a lot of explaining to do as well.

I am taking the liberty of reposting this comment I made concerning “the sleazeball of all JP sleazeballs”, Lagasse’s BARRY BORDELON !
Had he not been alleged to be a government snitch for the US Atty in the Pampy Barre case (of Johnston Control fame), this corrupt to the core individual would be in prison himself. In fact the US Atty should be charged with Misprision of a Felony for not prosecuting this Bordelon creature. And you wonder why the JP School system is near the bottom: Bordelon was a JP School Board member while his now dunce of a boss, Council Clown Lagasse was Superintendent !
And guess who’s running the streets on taxpayers money to try and salvage one of his clones, Mark Morgan, in the School Board run off…why Lagasse’s BARRY BORDELON ! And to think that buffoon Lagasse is going to run at large with Broussard’s WaterPOO, the Jefferson Parish Performing Arts Center, tattooed on this forehead is just another Clown Act of total arrogance !
Having read recently and, in disbelief that he was appointed to the JP Commission that considers liquor licenses…something’s up with him and Lagasse on this move…they don’t do anything for nothing !
So here it is Nolakat:
Well Pelican and I have been commiserating about the whole River Birch bullshit in lieu of this rather suspect turn of events, I mean really the guy at this never-heard-of-before consulting firm, MSW Resources, is Mr. Greisbach ! Honestly you couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried. And believe me it’s a tell.
deBrief, while pouring us another Rebel Yell, shouts, qu’est-ce qu’un baiseur de mère il est bon. Which one I replied ? Considering we have been talking about Lagasse’s Barry Bordelon for the last two hours, it could be either one or both for that matter.
Where to start ? Well since it’s late, we have decided to stick around Lagasse’s Bordelon because it’s seems his shit deals are smeared all over this corruption scandal, in fact he could be described as THE FACILITATOR of all time. Let me give you some examples:
1) According to a TP story written by Bruce Eggler, July 14, 2007, we
learn that Bordelon’s good friend of some 20 years, Mike Evans
had earned a fee of some $500,000 as a consultant for JRL to
hustle a computer program identified as “I Can Learn Math” to the
JP School Board. Evans, who was Director of Streets in JP was
given the ok by Coulon, and so he then proceeded to lobby
is good buddy Bordelon, who was on the JP School Board at the
time, and Lagasse was then Superintendent. Bordelon was
quoted as saying that he and Evans lobbied each other over
the years, particularly when he, Bordelon, worked for Waste
Management ! Well the program was a flop, and Evans’ coun-
terpart in Orleans Parish, Moses Jefferson, who took down
$900,000 as a consulting fee, paying a bribe of $140,000 to a
Orleans School Board member, is well, gone. It should be
noted that Evans’ fee was 7x his yearly salary, and all his
buddies had no idea of how much he made maiden consulting
contract. Hmmmmmmmmm……..But then again Jefferson is
black from Orleans Parish, and Evans is white from Jefferson
Parish.
2) Bordelon again shows up lobbying Theriot, Lagasse’s appoint-
ment to the Board of the WJHC in 2002, on behalf of none other
Johnson Controls, Inc. The deal was made with the assurance
and representations made that the Hospital would save millions,
but to date has only cost millions. This is the same outfit that
Bordelon’s buddy, Pampy Barre scamed in Orleans Parish and
went to jail for. Is the same Barre whom Bordelon had
Whitmer propose insurance deals to, all this while eating
steak at where else but Pampy’s Steak House? Hmmmm…….
Barre is black from Orleans Parish, Bordelon is white from
Jefferson Parish.
3) So when Bordelon’s good buddy Theriot heads off to BR for some
other shill, Bordelon is appointed to the hospital Board in his
place by his boss Lagasse. If that isn’t peachy enough the
Director’s position becomes open, and voila, Coulon’s good
close friend, Tom Wilkinson’s sister-in-law, and Broussard’s
partner in signing MILLIONS of dollars in checks to Hubbard,
Nancy Cassange, who is absolutely unqualified, is appointed
Director at a salary of about $400,000 dollars a year plus.
And it was Lagasse who motioned the appointment to be
approved by the other Council Clowns. Everyone involved in
this disgraceful act should be indicted, convicted and sent to
prison and be made to pay back this woman’s fraudulently paid
salary. Bordelon in a TP story dated Oct.1, 2007 is quoted as
saying, “…the job will take the right person…”
4) And yes it was Lagasse’s Bordelon, as chairman of the hospital
Board, lobbying for Pontiff to get the new insurance deal, yea,
Lagniappe. It was Lagasse again proposing to the other
Council Clowns to vote for Whitmer’s “secret” deal, and of
course they did.
5) I will state with no uncertainty that an ethics opinion from the
La. Ethics Commission has given new meaning to the defi
nition of toilet paper. The fact that Bordelon can be a lobbyist
for a company doing business with JP while he makes $91,000
as Lagasse’s council assistant defies common sense and
is just plain wrong. So he can lobby for Coastal Waste in north
Louisiana and in Gretna in JP and that’ honkey-doorey. Please
I am insulted enough that we taxpayers have to put up with him
and his boss Lagasse.
And although there is much more we can illuminate on concerning
Lagasse’s Barry Bordelon, deBrief feels that we should at least mention
a possibility that Bordelon and Greisbach may have crossed paths
considering their working for the same affiliated companies, Coastal
Waste, IESI and BFI. You peruse Lagasse’s contributor lists and you will find some big numbers in support of trash (pun intended).
Assez says Pelican. I agree, I’ve had enough. Have you Mr. Letten ?

On the topic of Red Light Cameras, aka REDFLEX, let us pause a moment and consider the other players:
Judge Robert “Bob” Murphy by way of his wife JULIE MURPHY
Bryan Wagner, in partnership with Julie Murphy
Just two more names in the tank.
But I say again:
Redflex is in the clear if there is no evidence that they knew of the (alleged) illegalities in the partnerships etc
Qualified by: CORPORATE PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY
Over the years the business community has profited by insulating itself from any allegations of wrongdoing ( lying, cheating, stealing , cutting corners) by employing that tried and true mafiaesque technique of middlemen. Placing a Barry Bordelon between the corporation and the illegal/unethical/corrupt schemes ( allegedly ) has given the corporation PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. Johnson Controls is one example. Redflex may be another.
Given the difficulty of going after a mega-corporation with multiple layers of lawyers to defend it , any intelligent time-constrained, shorthanded, underpaid government prosecutor is going to go after the smallfry who has little or no defensive armor in comparison. The underpaying, underfunding and overburdening of the prosecutorial folks BTW IMHO is specifically designed by the bad guys to insure that no one 1.) wants those jobs; 2.) can afford to stay in those jobs; and 3.) has the manpower or supplies to go after big business and their cohorts.
So watch for Redflex to walk; the local yokels to lose a few of their number and the band to play on.
