Scot Lemoine is in a runoff for East Baton Rouge Metro Council person for District 11 with Alison Cascio. I do not know either candidate nor I do not have a dog in that fight.
In the September 24 issue of the Advocate there was an article concerning Scot Lemine, that was entilted "Candidate claims bias in police s" ( http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/29512024.html?showAll=y&c=y ) .
Lemoine was issued a misdemeanor summons for simple battery. Apparently he was involved in an altercation with one of his tax client and police were called and the summons was issued.
I never knew that tax preparation is a contact sport. I always thought that it was the IRS who did the beating up not your CPA!
If a business man can not conduct himself in a more professional manner he does not have the temperament for public office and should withdraw from the race.
I fear what he might do when tension are high in the Metro Council meetings. Is he going to assault another person with a pile of papers? Watch out for those wild CPA's.
Scot do the right thing and withdraw. Apparently you can't take the heat.
