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.

November 5, 2012
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.
