Judge dismisses lawsuit against St. Tammany Parish over sex offender housing ordinance
A federal judge in New Orleans has dismissed a lawsuit that two landlords filed against St. Tammany Parish government over a parish law that strictly regulates housing for registered sex offenders, after the parish and landlord indicated they had reached a settlement and “agreed to resolve this dispute amicably.”
Following the St. Tammany Parish Council’s April 2024 adoption of sweeping regulations of housing for registered sex offenders, landlords Abraham and Lorraine Williams sued the parish, arguing the requirements violated state law and the U.S. Constitution.
Impastato said in an interview he could not provide all the details of the settlement, but he said that the Williamses had committed to getting out of the business of providing housing to registered sex offenders.

NIMBY ! Carlin was right.
Interesting…being a bully to a local business because of one person does not compute. Do they do this to all local businesses they don’t like?
Just throw us all under the bus. So now these folks will end up in the woods and somehow being violated and taken to jail, and probably cause them to never be removed from registration. Where is even a single spoon full of compassion? Anybody?
