The Chris Williams File

[NewsCopy]

Accusations have surfaced that former Lafayette Parish councilman Dr. Christopher Williams has ripped off the community by "double dipping" with multiple government-funded jobs.

At issue, alleged time conflicts between his full-time job at the University of Louisiana and contracts that his non-profit agency, The Lafayette Training Career Development Center has with the Lafayette Housing Authority (LHA) and the SMILE Community Action Agency.

"You can't do three jobs in the same time frame from 8 to 5, you can't do it, it's virtually impossible," said State Representative Rickey Hardy, D-Lafayette, who contacted the state's legislative auditor about the issue. "[Williams] got paid, and the community got played."

It looks like former Lafayette City Councilman Chris Williams will get his day in court in January.

According to court records, Williams' civil suit against Lafayette Housing Authority is set for a trial date on Jan. 21, at 1:30 p.m. in front of 15th Judicial District Court Judge Edward Broussard.

Williams filed the suit against the LHA in 2011, seeking more than $19,000 in wages he claims he was owed under a contract between the authority and his company, Lafayette Career and Training Development.

“The university is working with the [Louisiana] Legislative Auditor, reviewing all relevant records,” Savoie says. “When that review is complete, we will respond as warranted. I can’t move until I know what reality is.”

This is an interesting quote in light of Dr. Savoie's silence on the Sun Belt name topic. He should know what the reality is by now.

The reason I was looking at this thread was to find out if Chris Williams still works at UL? Last I read he has a suit to be heard this month.
