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.
