Another Update on 1303 New Orleans
Based on research done by others, I have an update on the shifting boarding house. According to FDLE records and water bill payments, Helen Pridgen has bought or rented a possible duplex at 10013 N. 14th St., both A and B, which I think may be the outer Sulphur Springs area. At least 5 residents live there.
As best as I can figure, there at least 18 people who are boarded with the non-profit Clifford Hills Community Outreach Center. I have heard that they charge $500.00 a month board. That's $9,000 a month or $108,000 a year. They have one live-in manager, whose professional experience is that he victimized others. Non-profit. Hmmm.
Let me think back to when I ran a halfway house in 1987 on Azeele near North Blvd in Hyde Park.
50.00 a week rent. 18 residents. $3600 a month $43,200 yr
Breakfast, lunch and dinner provided. Starter personal supplies and towel.
Salaries of program director (16,000 yr), professional counselor (12,000 yr) and evening/overnight/weekend staff (minimum wage).
Counselor provided individual counseling, groups counseling, job placement assistance, and speakers on various topics. We also sent people to drug and alcohol support groups.
Our facility was always kept in good shape. No junk sitting around. We tried to be good neighbors. Our neighbors were mostly professional offices and old house divided up into apartments.
Yes we had sex offenders. 1 or 2. We were selective with child sex offenders, choosing those who had abused children they were related to, rather than those who abused strangers. Why? Because there was a school nearby. They were sent to outpatient sex offender treatment groups run by Dr. Leo Cotter. For those ex-offenders who were in probation, we worked closely with their probation officers.

Off with Iorio, and Curtis, and Bill D's head!
I kinda like Harold Scott if you ask me.
I have this feeling he is not the decision maker there.
This is it... we should demand change. We SHOULD protest city hall, even if it is the weekend! We have the Mayor's address, lets protest in front of her home. Let her explain to her children why there are 200 people on her street picketing. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! If she does not have the courage to find a solution, lets oust her on her ass and find someone that can. It is frustrating to see this problem continue. Can we publish the mayors email on this blog so that everyone can write her an email demanding the the code leaders be replaced.
Do you realize that according to the Mayors budget, Curtis and Bill both make WELL over $100,000. per year!!!!!!!!!!
Now get angry that you are the fool paying for them!
Who says there are 18 people still at 1303?
5 is still illegal.
Time for the marches.
Lets roll!
HERE IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.
WE NEED TO GET THE MEDIA INVOLVED ON WHAT IS HAPPENING TO CURTIS LANE.
HAVE ANY OF THESE CLOWNS BEEN REPRIMANDED? WERE THE CODE LEADERS WRITTEN UP WHEN DAWN COLVIN WAS CAUGHT WITH DOPE AND THEY LIED, IS THIS BEING DOCUMENTED IN THEIR PERSONNEL FILE? WE MUST THEN GET THE CAMERA ON THE MAYOR AND HER ASSISTANT TO GET ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS, WHAT IS BEING DONE, "RESIDENTS PREDICT YOU TO MAKE CHANGES BEFORE THE ELECTION", ETC. THIS WILL ELIMINATE HER POLITICAL MANEUVER. IF SHE WON'T GET RID OF THESE INEFFICIENT LEADERS, WE WILL GET RID OF HER AND THEM! WE NEED TO AT LEAST MAKE IT EASIER TO DRAW OUT AN OPPONENT TO TAKE HER ON IN THE NEXT ELECTION. THEY ARE ALL POLITITIANS THAT ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT GARNERING A VOTE THAN DOING WHATS RIGHT!
No one said there is 18 at 1303.
5 at 1303 New Orleans
1 at 1304 New Orleans (possibly)
6 at 10013 14th
7 at 2746 N. Florida
This is crazy. YOU know the mayor has her staff reading this blog. Either make a decision, or else. Does anyone know if Chris Martinez reads this blog? Does anyone know him personally. He did an amazing job last time as he went to court, TPD, Harold Scott. Lets have him go to Iorio's office and get her on camera. Let's have his counterpart Brenden McClaughlin get the mayor on "flashpoint", a great show by the way and explain why she has done nothing.
Way to go Pam you get my vote again for next time.....NOT!
How Ironic is this. I logged on to check out the blog and the Google ad at the top was for a Molestation Atty. Guess they are buying some appropriate key words.
the Code Enforcement Dept has CLOSED THE CASE ON 1303 AS COMPLIED, even though there are still 5 DOCUMENTED, UNRELATED INDIVIDUALS RESIDING THERE PAYING $500/MONTH INDIVIDUALLY. Why is it the you, I and the rest of the world can read and understand the rules, but the MONKEYS who run Code Enforcement Dept for the City of Tampa, Florida, and earn more than $100,00 per year cannot???? HEY SPAM, OPEN YOUR EYES!!!
LOL .spam
sorry that is rather funny to read tho. lol .
Anyhow I just have one question.
Why is this place still allowed to be operating?
I am asking in simple words please.
Many of you here on this blog are very well educated peoples and your verbage speaks of it.
Im pretty much an average joesaphine.I do better with it being "dumbeddown"
ok
so please forgive me and can I get a response ?
Why is this place open still and if it should come to "a protest" please consider my time yours.
Thank you for your kindness and tolarance
CPacific
Your able to find her email address on the MyTampaGov.net.site
Why do you people have problems with a god fearing woman like Helen Pridgen? She runs the Solid Rock Church of God. Can't you see that she is annointed by the Christian Coalition and George Bush. This is a good woman and you are ruining her good name. She is housing the offenders in the name of God! You people prolly have problems with the Republican Mark Foley, too. Can't you see, Republican = God = Holy = the absense of the possiblity of improper motive or financial gain.
Trust me when I say that Helen Pridgen will carry on the policies of Jeb Bush. She will keep all the gay books out of the library and prohibit nudie bars. A very pious woman indeed.
