This guy might have risen to this position under Democratic governors of Louisiana. There was a Democratic governor that was in charge of Louisiana when Hurricane Katrina hit...

Of course, if certain folks get thrown out of office, they may claim racial bias.

In Saint Landry Parish (Louisiana does not have counties), there was an African-American husband-wife team on the school board. They were convicted of 'buying grades' from Southern University.

The guy was the head of the school board of that parish.

His position is currently vacant, though they have a new school board head.

I think he is on his way to prison (Angola state prison).

Someone told me back in the 1970's a guy whose name was 'Pugee Mote' (spelling?) was re-elected in Louisiana for a local office, but could not serve as he was in prison.

But he did get re-elected despite being in prison...
