Irony is we did a lot of cities nationwide since we saved money big time but we also did Orleans Jefferson St Bernard’s and St Tammany parishes where’d you’d expect it but didn’t have to yet Jackson they were brazen when they took over
They assumed shit everybody does it which simply isn’t true
Dad would take folks deer hunting or trout or deep sea fishing junkets
Make campaign donations through appropriate attorney practice
Offer private plane use on empty space
All legal
But never payoffs his view was you go to the joint fir that quick

This is neglect and the floods exacerbate
I lived through the Easter flood there in 1979 epic
Used to be a safe historical beautiful 70% white southern city and blacks behaved and were nice as hell
They helped raise me
That ship sailed
Id hate for my nanny Violet E Davis and her husband Moses to see what’s become
Devout Christian’s they would weep with 80-90% black illegitimacy and the crime and hip hop vulgarity
And no …..good people did not act like The Help portrays that’s lib Hollywood
I know the Stocketts well btw
That girl didn’t even grow up then
Her daddy was a duck hunting compadre of mine for decades ..Robert
