As if this news wasn't bad enough, I wake up this morning and find this in my mailbox sent by a former dissed employee from the first Gulf Coast Summit.
Wimpy, Jr. actually has the balls to launch, yet another, bullshit Gulf Coast Restoration Summit. Of course he didn't have chutzpah to show his face in New Orleans....he's holding this one in Destin. The travelling snake oil salesman of our era, Bill Loiry left numerous employees and vendors high and dry after the first Gulf Coast Restoration Summit held in at the Hilton Riverside here in N.O.
As if that isn't bad enough, Ed Minyard has released a myopic account of his adventures during Katrina. I haven't read the book yet but it appears Ed makes great effort to bash Nagin, Meffert, St. Pierre and crew while exalting his own efforts to heroic status. Never mind he ripped us off for more than St. Pierre who is now sitting in a jail cell for 17 1/2 years while Minyard enjoys his B&B in the Marigny paid for by our tax dollars.
BTW, all of these subjects and more will addressed in the documentary I'm working on. I requested an interview with Mr. Minyard but he denied me. I suppose he just wants to deliver his side of the story and avoid any scrutiny...not a very brave path for a self-ascribed hero.
