Priorities for Reform
April 17th, 2006The first priority is to secure and remediate the evidence that was damaged and compromised in the Hurricane Katrina flooding via immediate and prompt cooperation with There are at least 4000 pending criminal felony case trials that will be conducted and the retention and presentation of the evidence for those trials are necessary to ensure fair trials for both the prosecution and the defendants in these cases.
The second priority is to aggressively rebuild public confidence in the election responsibilities of this office. I believe that I have the experience and leadership skills, as well as the reform credentials necessary, to both properly conduct these elections and to rebuild the public confidence in the operations of this office.
Third, the office must be computerized and those computers must be fully integrated with those of the local and state police forces, as well as with all other courts and law enforcement agencies. The current system is inadequate and allows for the frequent releases of wanted suspects already in custody for other arrests, and other ongoing inefficiencies
This very important elected office must adapt to the post-Katrina limitations and cuts in funding by reaching out to the non-revenue resources available such as our universities, law schools, and civic groups interested in providing labor, alternative funding, and other support for the responsibilities of this office.
