Two years in which public corruption in Louisiana has been impacted more than any other event
event except the passage of—-RICO in 1970. Of course by connecting the social, legal and other dots
of public corruption it has used RICO to its advantage in the pursuit of creating a society run by public sector transparency. Trading public corruption for public transparency should be an easy sell but alas the story is not so easy to tell. For self interest and the familiar tendency toward tribalism run strong in south Louisiana.
So RICO minus slabbed is only half the solution. With the addition of slabbed to the RICO mix society has a more robust and effective model to eliminate and prevent the forces of socially bonded collusion. Slabbed pierces the social matrix and shines the light for RICO to view the world more clearly.

Sort of like when I first saw the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rocky Horror redefined the experience of movie watching into participatory theater. Slabbed has redefined the experience of representative government into participatory government. “This isn’t the Junior Chamber of Commerce Brad…”.
