Description
A new inspector general audit points to a raft of questionable business practices and credit card irregularities at the Orleans Parish Communications District.
From botched emergency responses to his controversial role as the chair of the city’s Violent Crime Reduction Task Force and his part time employment, OPCD Director Tyrell Morris has been on the hot seat.
One day after a contentious appearance before the New Orleans City Council, Morris’s leadership was called into question by the OIG report.
According to the just released performance audit, the agency that runs the city’s 9-1-1 center, did not follow public bid laws and made credit card purchases that may have violated district policies and state laws.
