These types of stories are always followed up with more dirt. You never want to digest the public with too much at one time especially when you have the inside track on good information.<br /><br />I would be willing to bet that the Business Report is now embarking on a WWL-TV type campaign as that has done wonders for its ratings in this downturn of a advertising market. Don't be shocked to see the Advocate appoint reporters to this story as they don't want to be trumped on what is starting to appear to be a very big story for both Baton Rouge & New Orleans.<br /><br />One question that I have though is what is Lafayette's connection to all of this. Didn't they award some contracts to Logistix/NetMethods/et al as well? Not saying that Lafayette did anything wrong but I thought I read something on this site that mentioned Lafayette a couple of times.Redstick Ramblernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-58831377297176991332009-04-20T23:20:00.000-05:002009-04-20T23:20:00.000-05:00Anyone hearing rumors about another company who po...Anyone hearing rumors about another company who possibly might file suit against the city in the crime camera fiasco? This could get really interesting if we have two civil cases going on at the same time involving several aspects of the crime camera corruption. Anyone have any ideas who the company(s) might be or whether this is a b.s. rumor floating around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-84937097205352130752009-04-20T20:20:00.000-05:002009-04-20T20:20:00.000-05:00Baton Rouge Business Report doesn't have a large a...Baton Rouge Business Report doesn't have a large amount of cred.<br />Evidence must be overwhelming and disclosure imminent for this pub to mention something about it.

We really don’t have a problem with the company itself.”"<br /><br /><br />WOW WOW WOW If Kip Holden told the reporter that a RFP was issued through a state contract on this then Mayor Holden has some serious explaining to do. A couple of investigators who are looking into confirmed to me today that there was in fact NO RFT issued or bidding procedure initiated in the awarding of this contract. Mr. Evans & Jeff LeDuff completely lied to this reporter that a RFP was issued. <br /><br />Someone pass me the popcorn because something smells in Baton Rouge and its not the Exxon Plant.Alfordnoreply@blogger.com
