Big Brother

Unabashedly owning it
Former Sen. Troy Hebert, recently named to run the agency that enforces liquor and tobacco law violations, said that he will be sending agents to the New Orleans area by mid-February to meet with bar owners and managers and explain to them they will be cracking down on underage drinking during the Carnival parade season.

Hebert's office has 50 agents statewide. He would not say how many will be assigned to the New Orleans area. "It will be double what we normally have," he said. He said other areas of the state with Carnival parades will also be covered.

"Our big thing will be underage drinking," Hebert said. "Big Brother will be watching you. We are not trying to take Mardi Gras out of Mardi Gars, but we are trying to make it safer.

"We want to ensure that the alcohol part of (the parade season) is done responsibly."


Wasting time with this crap when they could be keeping the ladder people in line.
