collectors and determine if property should be seized, and whether
penalties and interest should be imposed or waived. I Carmined
that most of the delinquent taxpayers were black business ecple
where failure to pay was more from being understand in proper
bookkeeping than from an intent to daprive the state of its sales
taxes. I therefore ordered that there be no seisures, and further
ordered = waiver of penalty and interest on most of tham, but had
the taxpayer sign an agreement to pay the back taxes in
installments. In this way they were allowed to continue operating
their business, and the state benefitted by collucting the current
rales taxes, and collected most, if not all, of the back taxes.
3. Early Support of Black Woman as Louisiana Delegate. Once
I comenced private law practice in Springfield in 1956 (which
practice I continue to the present day), I became core active in
what I consider politics that include the disadvantaged. In 1971
I ran for Democratic State Committeeman against an avowed
represptionist, but was not elected. However at the 1972 caucus of
Democrats at Hammond, Louisiana, convened to select delegates to
the National Democratic Convention, I ran for an alternate delagate
seat pledged to Senator McGovern. During the caucus I was assured
of election as an alternate. Instead, I publicly withdrew =y
candition and urged my supporters to back Clarm Robertson, a black
female educator, so she could be the first black woman alternate
delegate from Tangipahoa Parish to the Democratic National
Convention. The George Wallace supporters were not rea'y to
support a black woman, and she lost, but I still believe I did the
right thing.
L. Campaire Contributions from the Pear for President
Clinton. In the 1992 election, while a member of the Democratic
State Central Committee, I personally raised $10,000 for the
Loction of President Clinton. Much of this was $25 and $50
contribution from the black population. I am happy to say that the
President carrial St. Helena and Tangipahoe Parishes, an effort I
ver -1-1 to be a part of.
E. Claumiening the Cause of Black Addito BU3 Drivers, While
in the early years of by practice in 1969, I was contacted by black
school bus drivers from Tangipahoa Perish who were being
discriminated against. My investigation disclosed that the black
bus drivers were being paid $75 per month, while white bus drivers
were bein, yrid $150 per month from the suma school districts. I
further found that the local schools were receiving $204.20 per
month par bus from the State. I discovered the local school board
was taking the excase, which was most of it, and putting it in the
school coffers rather than paying the bus drivers. After trying to
work: it out with the local school board, I Was summarily rebuffed
