Political Illusions of the Cajun Mafia

This book examines “robust” political corruption in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The book scrutinizes the transparency, schemes and co-conspirators involved in political corruption. It discusses how top elected officials use their power and public resources funded by local sales and property taxes to improperly target, retaliate and even maliciously prosecute the most ridiculous matters to further their personal agenda. The book examines in detail the types of public infringements involving corruption as well as the vast network of political connections to other various public schemes. The book is further evidence that political corruption in Louisiana is not only profound but more like organized crime controlled by mob bosses. Louisiana no longer will turn a “blind eye” and now demands zero tolerance for corruption and nepotism of elected officials.

LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - Michael P. Ned, a local attorney and former candidate for <strong>the</strong><br />

14th Judicial District Court seat, was indicted Thursday on charges <strong>of</strong> domestic abuse<br />

battery, violation <strong>of</strong> a protective order and filing a false public record.<br />

Ned turned himself in and was arrested in April in connection with a domestic<br />

disturbance on Sept. 27, 2013.<br />

According to Kim Myers, spokeswoman for <strong>the</strong> Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, <strong>the</strong> victim<br />

said Ned punched her in <strong>the</strong> face and knocked her out. A witness said Ned dragged <strong>the</strong><br />

unconscious victim into <strong>the</strong> house and held a pillow to her face.<br />

A protective order had been issued on Oct. 17, 2013, ordering Ned to stay away from <strong>the</strong><br />

victim.<br />

Ned has been indicted on one count <strong>of</strong> domestic abuse battery (strangulation), two<br />

counts <strong>of</strong> violation <strong>of</strong> a protective order and one count <strong>of</strong> filing a false public record.<br />
