This is pretty close to where I am from (tho I'm from the Texas side of the border) and tracks pretty well with the abuses of power found in most of the small towns here.
Am I calling all small town mayors in this area child rapists? No. Am I saying a lot of mayors, sheriffs, and local leaders get away with crimes quite a bit? Hoooooooo doggie! Boy do they!
Small town folk always talk about the corruption in major cities.
But then they go back to their small town life where the mayor is the brother of the sheriff and the lead prosecutor is their best friend and all three of them have a deep secret pact to never share the time they murdered their school mate.
After having lived in both, each is it's own special kind of corrupt. But if rather live in a bigger city where a lot more people can be outraged at it with me.
Is she a repub? I searched pretty hard to find out when this story broke the other day and couldn't find confirmation of a political party. The best I could find was a page saying she was unaffiliated. I expect she's a repub cause Louisiana, but I held off on posting about this pending confirmation.
The mayor of a Louisiana city near the state’s border with Texas abruptly resigned from her post days before authorities jailed her on suspicion of raping a boy while she served in office.
Misty Roberts became the first woman to be elected as mayor of DeRidder in 2018, and she was well into her second term in the position when she handed in her resignation – with immediate effect – to the local city council on Saturday.
