Hour 1: The Flood Authority legislative hearings reveal a "comedy of errors" regarding the levee police chief's contract

from Newell Normand

This hour, Newell addresses the recent legislative hearings regarding the Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority-East, revealing that the New Orleans levee police chief, Joshua Rondeno, had drafted his own contract without consultation from the agency's board or attorney. Then, Laura D’Agostino, attorney in the Equality & Opportunity Practice Group, Pacific Legal Foundation, joins the show to talk about a major discrimination case out of Seattle — the Ninth Circuit hearing arguments after a city employee claimed diversity training crossed the line, including allegations that “white supremacy” language and comments about “a cis white male” created a hostile work environment.
