Will The Convicted Felon Provide More?

Will convicted felon Stan "Pampy" Barre provide useful information?

In August, then-City Council President Oliver Thomas pleaded guilty to accepting bribes from Barré, who was seeking to hang onto a contract to manage a city-owned parking lot. Thomas was sentenced last month to 37 months in prison, a stretch that is set to begin Jan. 3.

Since the Thomas case has run its course, the government's request for an additional delay of Barré's sentence -- for a sixth time -- indicates the restaurateur has provided other information authorities have deemed useful. The motion says as much: Barré "is cooperating with the government regarding other matters under investigation, but not yet completed," it reads.

One lead known to be under investigation is Barré's assertion, made to authorities, that he helped deliver bribes from two local trash haulers to the husband of Orleans Parish School Board member Una Anderson.

Barré has told the government that Jimmie Woods of Metro Disposal Inc. and Alvin Richard of Richard's Disposal Inc. provided the money in exchange for Anderson's promise to support the award of a trash-collection contract to be shared by the two firms, according to sources close to the investigation.

You Can't Be Everything

Have you ever met someone who wanted it all that they were willing to risk a long term prison sentence? If you cannot legitimately make the money, would you steal for it? I often wonder about those people who have no moral compass that they are willing to do just about anything for a buck. Was it some childhood deprivation that they are trying to make up for.?

Freedom is priceless. An extra vacation here and there is not worth ones reputation. Some crooks will soon learn that crime does not pay.
