Episode Details

Mayor Wade Evans is caught in an ethics firestorm after a social media post claims complaints were filed with the Louisiana Board of Ethics — though Evans insists he hasn’t received any official paperwork and accuses political rivals, including council member D’Ann Wells (now running for mayor), of orchestrating the push. Wells denies filing a complaint, saying she’d seek an advisory opinion instead. Meanwhile, the controversy also reignited debate over the salary and role of the city’s public information officer — originally hired as an executive assistant, her position was reclassified to avoid overtime tracking, just above the $58K exemption threshold. The ethics board confirmed complaints remain confidential unless they formally file public charges.
