Gosh, I'm not a lawyer but how exactly does some government employee have the right to order a private business to open its door?? Maybe the Parish President could just 'order' Walmart to give away its inventory for the next 30 days as well. Since they have already started well down the road to socialism, they might as well make it a comfortable road.
I heard that but according to the above article when he was on Meet the Press (Sunday) - he talks about 'his city'.
Aaron Broussard the liar/crier puke!
Unless things have changed in Louisiana the Sheriff is the top government official in the parish and his word is law. Always good to have the Sheriff on your side in LA.

Gosh, I'm not a lawyer either and didn't comment on this aspect. I was addressing the closing of the bridge
The sheriff told FEMA to leave Walmart alone to get back to bussiness, also gave the Walmart management a letter to that effect & standing orders to his deputies that any FEMA official that tries to force them to close down is to be arrested.
