This is local news, so I doubt many of you have heard of it. Mandeville is a city on the northshore of New Orleans. A state audit revealed that the Mayor of the city has made thousands of dollars in personal charges on the city's credit cards. He accepted golf trips to other cities from companies that do business with the city.
Earlier this year the Mayor was driving home across the Causeway, the bridge that connects the Northshore to the Southshore, crashed through a toll booth barrier after having too much to drink. The police officers that stopped him let him go with only a warning. Later these four police officers were fired for giving him special treatment. Did anything happen to him? No.
And than at Christmas he accepted Wal Mart gift cards and presents paid for by a Christmas Toy Fund.
So I have a simple question: why is this man still in office?
