New Orleans may relax Inspector General prerequisites
~Michelle Krupa

~Interim Inspector General Len Odom and his predecessor,
Bob Cerasoli, the first person to hold the post, also objected this week to a concurrent move to give political appointees on the Ethics Review Board authority to amend the inspector general's annual budget, which now is reviewed by the City Council.
The move, they said, would chip away at the inspector general's autonomy. Even though one of the proposed changes would allow him to seek his post permanently, Odom opposes it so strongly he said he'd quit if it becomes law.
"I will not work in an environment that is different than what the people approved, "
he said. "I don't want there to be any claim that I was looking out for my self-interest."
