LAPA Vice President Robert Burns
directly confronts LALB attorney
Larry S. Bankston about actions of LALB 
Executive Director Sandy Edmonds
regarding 
her conduct entailing a phone call Burns received from Mississippi auctioneer
Nick Clark wherein Burns indicates Edmonds dissuaded Clark from filing a 
complaint against
Marvin Henderson and Edmonds defamed Burns' character.  Burns challenges
all parties involved to submit to a polygraph.  So far, neither Edmonds nor 
Bankston have taken
Burns up on his offer even though Burns has volunteered 
to pay for the polygraph for them.

 Former Louisiana Auctioneer 
Licensing Board (LALB) Executive Director, Sherrie Wilks, voices frustration
 at 
what she says were inaccurate statements made about her regarding LALB 
investigations by LALB Attorney Anna Dow.
 Ms. Dow made these alleged 
statements at the November 5, 2012 LALB meeting, and Ms. Wilks sought to address 
the statements
 at the January 8, 2013 LALB meeting; however, LALB 
Co-Counsel, Larry S. Bankston, himself a 
convicted
felon, informed Ms. Wilks that
 she would
NOT be permitted to speak on the matter. 
Hence, she recorded this video soon after the 1/8/13 LALB meeting.

LALB Member Charles "Hal" McMillin Admits to 
Knowing
of "Auctioneer" Conducting Auctions with No License
and Admits to 
Refusing to Report Him Because, "He's a writer for the local paper,
and he'll 
chastise me in his column.....and this would all come back to me."
 
LALB Vice Chairman James Sims, in 
categorizing auctioneers, manages to offend
 LALB Chairman Tessa 
Steinkamp.  Subsequently, Sims flatly accuses LALB
leadership of 
engaging in witch hunts, a charge to which Chairman Steinkamp
takes deep 
offense.  What auction(s) was Sims referring to?  While Sims didn't 
specify, it quite likely
entailed legendary 
auctioneer Keith Babb's problematic dump truck auction.
