NEW ORLEANS MAYOR INDICTED BY FEDS

Cantrell and Vappie

New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell and police officer Jeffrey Vappie

 


LaToya Cantrell, 53, is the serving mayor of New Orleans.  She has just been indicted by a federal grand jury for corruption.  She is (much to my surprise) the first New Orleans mayor to be indicted by the feds while still in office.

She was apparently playing hide the salami with he chief body guard, Jeffrey Vappie, 52.  This included having him present, at government expense, on various overseas trips.  The feds estimate his presence sucked up about $70,000 in taxpayer funds to be a government paid boy toy.  He and she also spent a LOT of time at a city owned apartment when he was supposed to be on duty with the NOLA police department.

Vappie also has separate problems relating to being less than truthful when talking with the FBI.  That is a bad thing.  They have no sense of humor about it.

Since this just happened on Friday there has not been a lot of time for either of them to assert that they are being harassed by Donald Trump and that their indictment is clearly racist.
