PORT ALLEN Council members in Port Allen voted on a new law Wednesday
that will bring more transparency to city government.The new ordinance
requires two signatures on every check. Before, the city only required
one signature and it was from the mayor. People say adding another name
will keep the city leaders honest replica Cartier Ballon Bleu Chronograph
, especially when bringing in a new mayor."It was just better checks and balances in government Replica Breitling Navitimer
,
and I certainly felt the same way," said Mayor Lynn Robertson. "I know I
would not want to sign some of these large checks by myself and I think
the public needs to know that we're trying to keep things as
transparent as possible."The change was recommended by the state
legislative auditor. Besides the mayor replica breitling Bentley 6.75
,
the mayor pro tem, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief
Administrative Officer can sign checks.It is one of the first steps
forward since voters recalled the former, controversial mayor Deedy
Slaughter last year.The city also agreed to spend $190,000 for new
police cars. The council says that's a first no police chief in Port
Allen has ever been given that much money up front for new police
units.Chief Esdron Brown says it's needed, since he has a number of
units that no longer run. He says he plans on buying six new Chevy
Tahoes to patrol the city."They'll have striping and cages, and all that

said Brown. "It's been a long process. The officers have needed it, the
moral has dropped because they've been riding in such old cars. They
guys are real excited to hear they're going to get some updated
equipment."
