Complaint filed against auditor who OK’d Tammany coroner’s books
Mandeville CPA Brent Silva has been performing annual audits of the St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s Office since before Peter Galvan took office in 2000, and while some of the first reviews revealed problems, Silva’s firm gave the agency mostly clean reports in recent years.
Those rosy assessments contrast starkly with a critical audit filed by a new firm — Carr, Riggs & Ingram LLC — hired to look over the books in 2012.

Perspectives of the U.S. Supreme Court Ruling on Sec. 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965
Sec 4 of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional. 5-4. Per CJ Roberts.

Congress could attempt to enact a new list of covered jurisdictions, but it will be exceptionally difficult politically. Major ruling.
From the dissent: The sad irony of today's decision lies in its utter failure to grasp why the VRA has proven effective.

Jindal signs budget bill, vetoes money for the disabled and the arts
Funding for the disabled and arts programs fell out of the $25 billion state spending plan Friday with the stroke of Gov. Bobby Jindal’s veto pen.
The governor deleted $4 million aimed at whittling down a waiting list for home-based services for the developmentally disabled. Parents of disabled children pleaded with legislators during the session to shorten the list. Some could wait 10 years before receiving services.
In his veto message, Jindal said the reduction in waiting time could not be accommodated because legislators removed too much funding for the routine increase in the number of patients being treated through Medicaid, the government program that pays for health care for the poor.
The Jindal administration contended the Legislature underfunded the state’s health department by more than $20 million.
