Louisiana Government Corruption is a Republican Thang...

FBI questions Mandeville mayor

Two FBI agents arrived unannounced at Mandeville Mayor Eddie Price's office a few weeks ago with a subpoena for city records and questions about his relationships with St. Tammany Parish Councilman Joe Impastato and Joe Mistich, Mandeville's former public works director.

Mistich is the contractor identified by the initials "J.M." in a federal indictment of Impastato, hired by the councilman to clear land in Lacombe for a debris disposal project, according to sources close to the investigation.

This investigation is another Jim Letten enterprise. And that's a good thing.
