Member Charles "Hal" McMillin, after
first blowing a fuse at LAPA Vice President Robert
Burns, who objected
to his carrying on a conversation with fellow Member Jeff Henderson
while
Burns was speaking, resigned from the LALB effective Wednesday, September 10,
2014
LAPA Vice President Robert Burns
provides a primer in terms of a background
of the LALB's sharply divergent
treatment of Kathleen Sue White vs.
Board Member Jeff Henderson (Marvin
Henderson's son) regarding
allegations of unpaid sales taxes. This
"stroll down memory lane"
is provided as a result of
the upcoming trial of LA Dept. of Revenue v. JAH
Enterprises
being scheduled
to convene the week of Monday, September 15, 2014 in Livingston Parish, a venue
in
which Marvin Henderson has stated: "They (the LA Dept. of Revenue) don't want to try
me
in Livingston Parish."

LAPA Vice President Robert Burns explains the pitfalls of
serving as principal (owner)
in merchandise offered for sale at auction, particularly when multiple
owners
are involved. Burns
illustrates the high level of trust that's required for such
situations
by illustrating a lawsuit filed by JAH
Enterprises d/b/a/ Henderson Auctions
after things went haywire
entailing the sale of a casino boat jointly owned by JAH Enterprises
(which is itself owned
by LALB Member Jeff Henderson) and Blake
Everett, a former employee of
Henderson Auctions.
LALB discusses the possibility that Dale Henderson and/or Eldred
Henderson
may have illegally loaned personal license(s) to facilitate Alex
Lyon & Son Sales Managers
& Auctioneers Inc. conducting an auction
without a valid Louisiana auction business license.
During public comment, LAPA President Rev. Freddie Lee Phillips and Vice
President Robert Burns
contrast the highly restrictive conditions
under which they have been forced
to videotape meetings vs. the very
liberal accommodations provided to the Board
itself once it decided to
begin videotaping meetings on September 9, 2014.
