Report: (Louisiana) Governor's office staff member resigns amid sexual harassment allegations
The (Baton Rouge, LA) Advocate ^ | November 22, 2017 | Staff

Posted on 11/22/2017 6:36:13 PM PST by abb

A key member of Gov. John Bel Edwards' staff has resigned due to allegations of sexual harassment, WBRZ reported.

LaPolitics.com first reported that Deputy Chief of Staff Johnny Anderson resigned Wednesday after multiple sexual harassment allegations were made against him.

Deputy Chief of Staff Richard Carbo said in a statement to WBRZ Wednesday evening that the governor's office was made aware of the allegations Tuesday and that the office holds a "zero tolerance" policy for sexual harassment.

"We take these allegations very seriously," the statement read. "Upon commencement of the investigative process, Johnny Anderson resigned from the Governor's Office."

No mention of Party affiliation. We all know what that means.

I couldn’t tell what his party was from the article, so I figured Democrat. Had to google it. Yes, he is.

Sexual harassment is a BIPARTISAN issue...that is when Democrats are accused of it.

Since they seem determined to enter the gate single-file, that should not be a problem.

Who knows regarding keeping score, being Dem or Republican - but I am starting to see a CLEAR PATTERN of men being taken down, often with no verifiable evidence...just the word of (almost always) women. I’m thinking this is more than just sinking Republicans now, it is the sinking of men from both parties...possibly to turn this country into another Sweden, or even worse, Great Britain.

Funny my wife just asked me what the new allegations were today. Yes there will be some Republicans but the VAST MAJORITY of these pervs will be DEMOCRATS no matter what the media says or tries to get over with.

John Bel Edwards say sidestepping Legislature on $15.4 billion worth of Medicaid contracts was necessary
Updated November 23, 2017 at 11:04 AM; Posted November 22, 2017 at 5:14 PM
Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said it was necessary for him to cut legislators out of the process of approving the state’s Medicaid contracts, worth about a quarter of Louisiana’s budget.

He should be impeached for what he did in post #16.

I know it’s not scientific but he looks like a perv. We should pay a few whores to say he and Roy Cooper raped them in 1976. It’s so tantalizing having GOP Lt. Governors in those states.
