...that we have, yet another, con-profit on hand.
David over at Confederacy of Dunces has picked up the trail of the con-profit tip I got on Bajoie. Turns out, in 2005, the New Orleans Urban Tourism Hospitality Training and Economic Development Foundation got up to 100k of state gaming revenue from fairgrounds slot machines dedicated to them by the state Legislature.
What is the acronym for this one? NOUTHTEDF. Ha! We need a nickname for this one....you guys get busy.
Anyway, I checked the legislative auditor's database and I couldn't find any audits on them. I'm going to call Monday to see if there is anything that may not be on the website.
David brings up another interesting observation:
This is the street view of the address "Orlando" Bajoie, 3421 Loyola Ave., lists as the Director of the organization:

David brings up another interesting observation:
It’s not clear what the Foundation does but it’s registered with the state as a non-profit corporation. It lists Orlando Bajoie as a Director, with an address at 3421 Loyola. But this appears to be a typo since other records filed with the Secretary of State of an “Olander” Bajoie are also listed at 3421 Loyola. Olander Bajoie is the brother of Diana.This is a Google street view of the address, 3435 Magnolia, where the entity is registered:
This has all the hallmarks of a classic Jeffersonian con-profit. If anyone knows how to get their audits, please advise.
