I got a better sound ...<br />Re: My previous comment ...<br /><br />I got a better sound reproduction and the motion by Councilman Gray was "the City Council asserts its right to object to a conflict of interest in the case Herman v. City of New Orleans, Civil District Court No. 2014-896." He goes on to explain the purpose of the motion was to assert the Council's right to object to an attorney who represents the City and Council also representing an opponent to the City and the Council.<br /><br />Although they may have missed the point made above by Anonymous, it's still a great motion by Councilman Gray and adopted by the Council.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-78817109586877756712014-08-13T17:12:50.768-05:002014-08-13T17:12:50.768-05:00"As luck would have it, City Council moved to..."As luck would have it, City Council moved to waive the conflict back in April of this year. Jump to about 02:10:18 in the video."<br /><br />Admittedly, the audio portion of the recording is not very loud on my computer, but, I thought I heard a motion made by Councilman Gray to "reserve the city's right to object" to the conflict created by the Russ Herman personal suit against the City. Do you interpret "reserve the city's right" to mean they waived the conflict?<br /><br />I wonder how much money and other resources Herman's suit has already cost the City in attorney time, paraprofessional time, staff time, experts, possibly outside counsel, etc. Not to mention the loss of income to local workers and the loss of sales tax revenue associated with stopping a sorely-needed construction project.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30412896.post-43495530396072730562014-08-13T12:01:55.479-05:002014-08-13T12:01:55.479-05:00Oh..wow!
