Feb. 6 -7, 2012 the Evidentiary hearing was held at the Regional Rehabilitation Office in Baton Rouge.
I was in attendance as an interested party and had no part in the proceeding. I have no doubt that attending this hearing would have been the best form of upward mobility training a vendor in Louisiana could ever get. What was revealed under oath was stunning. At the conclusion of testimony the hearing officer said that it would be 4 weeks before the court reporter could have her stenography (an estimated 500 pages for each day) ready for review and that a post hearing meeting could be held at that time.
