Alvin Richard is a corrupt politician from the Nagin era and we need to get him out. He's currently suing our beloved city for more money because Mayor Landrieu wants to cut the garbage budget and save us $8M dollars. Alvin Richard believes a better place for that money is in his pocket... I guess hanging out with strippers in the Hornets skybox and smoking cigars at Sweet Loraine's isn't enough for Alvin L Richard. He wants the taxpayers to pay for his yacht.\r

Landieu is doing the right thing in trying to block Richard's Disposal. The company run by Alvin Richard is a failure and we need to give their contract to a company that can actually pick up garbage on time, not 7 days late. A company who's name isn't synonymous with ""corruption"" and ""bribery"". \r

Richard's Disposal Inc is supposed to be in the business of sanitation, but when they don't pick up garbage for days and it overflows, then they are responsible for trash all over out streets. It appears that Richard's is in the business of bribery and scams. They were involved in the Stan Pampy Barre scandal in which Alvin Richard bribed a school board official to secure a contract to the tune of $525k.\r

We need to do way Richard's Disposal altogether. They are old corrupt contractors from the Nagin era and have no place in our city today. Mayor Landrieu is right in trying to cut the trash budget. We pay significantly more compared to cities comparable in size. Now Alvin wants to sue the city for even more money.
