If Kimberly Williamson-Butler actually wins this election, should they hold the victory party at the Blue Bayou?
Can you spot the amusing mistake over at the electkimberly.com web site? Well, I can guarantee you that New Orleans residents won't be amused once they see the picture at the top of this page
I mean, let's be honest here, folks. It's easy to understand why Kimberly Williamson Butler might be a little distracted these days.
After all, Kimberly lives & works in post-Katrina New Orleans. Which (obviously) offers its own unique set of challenges.
Now add to this that Ms. Williamson Butler is the Clerk of the Criminal Court in Orleans Parish. And among her responsiblities is supervising elections in the city of New Orleans.
Well, the "Big Easy" will be holding its next mayoral election on April 22nd. And given that there are currently 23 candidates running for mayor in that city … Well, that's an awful lot for one civil servant to try & keep track of.
Then add to that the fact that — back in early March — Kimberly had a run-in with a district court judge over her office's inept handling of FEMU fund applications. Which resulted in that judge ordering Ms. Williamson Butler be held on contempt charge.
But Kimberly … Well, she didn't like the idea of going to jail. Which is why New Orleans' Clerk of the Criminal Court then decided to go on the lam.
Which is why Ms. Williamson Butler spent the next week in hiding. Stealthily moving from place to place, deftly dodging arrest warrants while she called in to radio talk shows & tried to plead her case.
After spending a week on the run, Kimberly finally surrendered to authorities. And then — after spending three days in Orleans Parish Prison (I.E. The very correctional facility that her office oversees) — Ms. Williamson Butler emerged from jail and announced that this experience had profoundly changed her. Which is why Kimberly had now decided to throw her own hat in the ring. Meaning that she too was now running for mayor.
So, okay. Let's now make that 24 candidates …
Anyway … Given that Ms. Williamson-Butler's office is actually in charge of supervising this election, there were immediate cries of "conflict of interest." With various "Big Easy" movers & shakers insisting that Kimberly could not be expected to be an impartial judge of a mayoral race that she herself was competing in. Which is why it would be best for all of Orleans Parish if Ms. Williamson-Butler were to immediately resign her position as the Clerk of the Criminal Court.
To date, Kimberly has refused all of these requests. Insisting that she's completely within her rights to hold one elected office while seeking another. More to the point, Williamson-Butler insists that she's perfectly capable of running the Criminal Court's office AND run a successful political campaign. That she has the ability to keep track of all the necessary details in a situation like this.
Well, if that's really the case … Than can someone explain to me what's going on over electkimberly.com? You know, that web site which is trumpeting about how Kimberly Williamson Butler is " … the Right Choice for Mayor of New Orleans"?
"What's wrong with this web site?," you ask. Well … Given that Kimberley got such a late start with her campaign (I mean, the poor woman only announced her candidacy six weeks ago tomorrow), it's easy to understand how the web designers behind www.electkimberly.com might have been tempted to cut a few corners. Quickly slap something together so that there'd at least be some sort of site up on the Web that informed voters about Ms. Williamson Butler's platform is, what her credentials might be, etc.
And given the deadline that these guys were working under, there was obviously no time to take any official campaign photos. Which is why that web evidently decided to take a picture of Kimberly and then Photoshop that image over a particularly picturesque shot of the city of New Orleans.
The only problem is … The cityscape that you see to the right of Ms. Williamson Butler? That's not the real New Orleans. But — rather — Disneyland's New Orleans Square.
Don't believe me? Then take a closer look. Particularly at that brightly painted trashcan. Does that look familiar to all you Disneyland fans out there?
Anywho … Again, given all that's been going on her life these past weeks, it's easy to understand why Kimberly might be a little distracted up until now. Which is why she probably didn't have the time to take a good close look at www.electkimberly.com. Which is why she (or her campaign staff, for that matter) has yet to realize that the most prominent image on the official Kimberly Williamson Butler website doesn't actually show her standing in the city that she wants to govern. But — rather — depicts Ms. Williamson Butler as being some 1900 miles away, enjoying a happy moment in Anaheim, CA.
Though I imagine that that's going to change pretty damned fast once Kimberly hears about this story (Which comes to JHM readers courtesy of that awfully nice guy who runs Justinspace.com).

Audit Finds MDOT Study on Materials Was Corrupted
by Josh Colletta October 21st, 2019
written by Josh Colletta October 21st, 2019
Michigan's Office of Auditor General has determined that a taxpayer-funded study on the availabilities of materials used to build highways is severely undermined by inappropriate practices that gave the gravel industry considerable influence over the outcomes.
According to the Associated Press, the Michigan Department of Transportation was found to have improperly split the study into two separate contracts, and did not take steps to ensure that the terms of the study were met. "Numerous deficiencies," including poor project scoping, were found in the results of the roughly $100,000 study.
The audit comes after a Detroit Free Press report led to a complaint being filed in June. The newspaper's report found that the Michigan Aggregates Association, an industry lobbying group, commissioned the study in 2016 and 2017. A similar internal audit conducted by MDOT came to the same conclusions three weeks ago.
The latest audit reviewed, among other things, e-mails and other documents showing former Transportation Director Kirk Steudle communicating with several industry officials regarding supplies.
Steudle also ordered staff to involve an "industry stakeholder" in a market study. That, according to the audit's conclusions, "allowed industry stakeholders considerable influence in the commissioning and scoping of the study." The document continues, " This may have undermined the study's credibility and usefulness to MDOT and policymakers because of the industry stakeholders' previously disclosed position in favor of expanding permitted mining for aggregates in local communities."
The division of the study raised red flags internally. According to the audit, the Phase 1 manager told M.A.A. President Doug Needham that he did not mention Phase 2 in his side's project scope "since we cannot give the impression that we are attempting to circumvent the 50K max contract by splitting it up into two 50K scopes. Questionable whether this will even fly."
Other managers were also unhappy with the study and believed it wouldn't provide any worthwhile information.
Needham has, himself, used the study while giving testimony before the state legislature, notably to advocate legislation that would have restricted local government's ability to deny mining permits. He cited "not-in-my-backyard" opposition to mining operations as a cause for keeping construction costs high. That legislation died last year, but a new bill with the same purpose is currently in front of the Senate Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
M.A.A. Spokerperson John Sellek told the A.P. that the audit "vindicates" the aggregate industry because, he claims, there is "zero evidence" that the writers of the study's findings were biased in their conclusions.
"All state departments rightly seek input from stakeholders but only they can decide how to use that input, as was the case here," he said. "It is unfortunate for all taxpayers that internal MDOT disputes between its staff and management resulted in decisions which are now under fire."
But Matt Resch of the Metamora Land Preservation Alliance vehemently disagrees. Opposing a proposed gravel pit east of Flint, he says the audit "finds the aggregates association corrupted the state contracting process to produce a flawed study to justify their self-interested and unnecessary legislative agenda. It is our hope that lawmakers don't let them get away with it."

Rx Drug Monitoring Not Reducing Opioid Abuse
May 08, 2018 / Pat Anson
By Pat Anson, Editor
Prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) have long been promoted as a critical tool in the fight against opioid abuse and overdoses. PDMP's in 49 states and the District of Columbia allow physicians and pharmacists to consult a prescription drug database to see if patients might be "doctor shopping" or selling their opioid medication.
But a new study has found little evidence that PDMPs are working and that they may in fact be driving some patients to the black market for cheaper drugs such as heroin.
Researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and University of California, Davis, analyzed 17 studies that looked at the effectiveness of PDMPs. Their findings are published online in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
"Evidence that PDMP implementation either increases or decreases nonfatal or fatal overdoses is largely insufficient, as is evidence regarding positive associations between specific administrative features and successful programs. Some evidence showed unintended consequences," wrote lead author David Fink, MPH, a doctoral candidate in epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health.
What were those unintended consequences? Three studies that looked at heroin related overdoses found a "statistically significant" increase in heroin deaths after PDMPs were implemented.
"This suggested to us that heroin substitution may have increased after PDMP-inspired restrictions on opioid prescribing," says Silvia Martins, MD, a professor of epidemiology at Mailman and co-senior author. "We therefore caution that programs aimed at reducing prescription opioids should also address the supply and demand of illicit opioids."
Researchers believe that efforts to reduce doctor shopping and the diversion of prescription opioids may have backfired.
"A reduction in black market prescription opioids, although generally viewed as positive, also may generate unanticipated outcomes. For example, an ethnographic study of high-risk users in Philadelphia and San Francisco found that key drivers of the progression from prescription opioid to heroin use are the rising cost of the 'pill habit' and heroin's easy availability and comparatively lower cost," Fink said.
Heroin overdoses also rose after Purdue Pharma introduced a new and more expensive abuse deterrent formulation of OxyContin in 2010. According to one study, each death that was prevented by OxyContin's reformulation "was replaced with a heroin death."
Fink and his colleagues say more studies are needed to examine the true effectiveness of PDMPs, which can vary widely from state to state.
Doctor Shopping Rare
Missouri is the lone state that has not adopted a statewide PDMP and one family physician would like to keep it that way.
In an unpublished study, John Lilly, DO, claims that PDMPs are not working because doctor shopping is rare to begin with. In 2016, doctor shopping was responsible for only 1.7% of all misused opioid prescriptions. The rest are stolen, borrowed or bought on the black market, or misused by the patients they were prescribed to.
"The prescription drug monitoring programs will never catch the remaining 98.3 percent of the problem. That is why the death rate has not decreased despite 49 states having an operational PDMP," Lilly wrote. "There is now an alternative to prescription drugs that is easier to obtain and more powerful. Illicit fentanyl is now the preferred opioid and the PDMPs have absolutely no effect on its rapid rise. I would not be surprised if prescription opioid deaths start to fall, not due to the effectiveness of the PDMPs, but due to market competition from illicit fentanyl."
If PDMP's were effective, Lilly says states that have them would see a decline in opioid overdoses. But in 2016, West Virginia had the highest opioid death rate in country -- over three times higher than Missouri's -- which ranked 25th.
Missouri's Governor ordered the creation of a statewide PDMP last year, but the state legislature has so far resisted efforts to fund it. Critics say it doesn't give doctors the necessary tools to prevent overprescribing, but allows law enforcement to track and prosecute physicians and pharmacists. A spokesman for the Missouri State Medical Association called the program a "witch hunt against physicians."

Defense casts doubt on witnesses in Medicare fraud trial | The Figueroa Law Firm, P.A.
The defendant's attorney framed criminal accusations of fraud as business disputes over billings to government health programs. The defendant was focused on running his businesses and the treatments described on billings came from doctors.
An assistant U.S. attorney countered these arguments by describing the fraud for the jury. She said that the evidence would show a pattern of fraud and bribery. Doctors were allegedly bribed to bring patients into the defendant's facilities and move them to other facilities when they had exhausted Medicare benefits at the first location. Access to patients was also supposedly sold to other parties who wanted to bill Medicare for illegitimate charges. Government investigators said that the cycle persisted from 2006 to 2016.
Convictions on federal crimes like Medicare fraud could result in lengthy prison sentences. A person targeted by an investigation of medical billing practices to the government might benefit from the representation of a criminal defense attorney. Legal advice might inform a person about rights before answering questions from authorities. An attorney could also question evidence and possibly create sufficient doubt so that jurors acquit a defendant or a prosecutor offers a lenient plea deal.
