Secondly, Councilman Shelvin, though at one time enrolled in the church's ministy training classes, was never the church's minister of music. - S Mon, 03 May 2010 22:04:45 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7137 B.S. is just the kind of elected public official that Beheard wants to represent our people. B.S. was/is not a resident of the district he represents, he cannot/will not pay his debts, he cons people ( a minister) into co-signing a loan for $70,000, and then he defaults. BUT, he is able to form a complete sentence in order to articulate his thoughts. It doesn't matter that the thoughts of B.S. include misrepresenting himself to anyone and everyone. But, B.S. does speak well. Beheard, B.S. is in office because morons like you voted for him. Whoa! Does that sound familiar? The big difference between Hardy and B.S. is that B.S. is dishonest and is not representative of he honest hardworking people who believed in him and voted for him. B.S. cons and plays people every time he opens his mouth. And, up until Leslie Turk's articles, he has gotten away with it. - What,MeWorry?

He truly does fit your profile of a good elected public official: dishonest, but talks a good con as well as dishonest. You are a very scary person, beheard, though quite obviously not too bright with a skewed set of priorities. - TheProblemIs Sun, 18 Apr 2010 04:38:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7125 Just as cream floats at the top, bs also floats at the top. This couillion is one genuine, 18 carat politician. I have to say, this lowlife fits in the political mix excellently ! - NO-ONE'S HERO Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:15:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7122 The guy is a con man. He would sell snake oil to the infirm if he thought he could make a buck. - yesidoknow Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:52:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7114 Someone check on what Mr. Shelvin collects in salary from the city/parish govt to serve on the council. I remember he gave himself a nice chunk of change RAISE not too long ago. I believe he could pay down some of these obligations, esp. to his pastor, with that money alone. Its not a fortune, but its not chump-change either. - Morrow Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:59:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7113 I believe it is imperative to make Mr. Shelvin's personal financial misdealings public. If he can't "man up" and be responsible with his own personal financial obligations, how am I to expect he's qualified or even willing to be responsible with governmental dollars??? Mr. Shelvin isn't "being picked on", boo hoo hoo. These situations take time to come to this point and when you scr*w your minister, you'll do it to anyone. I believe it speaks volumes about Mr. Shelvin's integrity. - Morrow Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:55:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7106 His minister collatoralizes Mr B.S.'s loan with personal property. Mr B.S. has not made a payment on his loan since September of 2009;the loan goes into default;the lender sues to take possession of the collatoralized property and a court order is issued to do just that. The owner of the property finds about this by a reporter from the Independent AFTER the loan has been called in. Mr.B.S. did not even have the decency to tell the Bishop what was coming down.Yeah BEHEARD and CONCERNEDCITIZEN, this is one stand up guy. If he'll sell out his on minister what kind of job will he do for his constituents? This is not about a guy who is down on his luck financially, it is about someone without scrupples or character. But somehow being from your neighborhood makes him beyond reproach or accountability. Protect him all you want, but if your in his district (if that can be determined) you're gonna suffer at his hands more than anyone else. - Buckley Fri, 16 Apr 2010 11:21:53 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7103 I am a resident in Mr. Shelvin's district, I did not support him when he ran for office and not very fond of his work thus far. But to continue to drag his PERSONAL financial struggles into public light is disgusting. The state of the economy over the last few years has made life hard for many people, it is a shame to seek out these hardships people go through and make them public. I understand he is a public official and THE IND feel this is news worthy,at some point a story gets OLD. - beheard Fri, 16 Apr 2010 09:36:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7090 Once again, these are personal issue dealing with a failed business. Many businesses fail, its common place in the economy nowadays. Mr. Shelvin has done great things for my neighborhood and his community. Hold your head up Brandon, financial difficulties as I myself face don't make you a bad person, they make you human. Keep doing a great job and me and my entire family and neighborhood will always support you. - ConcernedCitizen Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:59:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7084 If it's a comedy it's a sad one because it encourages the embracement of a number of stereotypes that hard working and long suffering African-Americans have striven to distance themselves from. There are still a lot of red necks out there all too eager to hold up Brandon as "typical".This man needs to step down because the damage he inflicts is far reaching. Step down and go away.Far away. - Buckley Thu, 15 Apr 2010 16:10:55 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/6058-councilman-shelvin-defaults-on-loan-backed-by-minister#comment-7081 The whole key to this comedy is the term "minority owned." - J.

I mean he doesn't even live there... - Buckley Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:16:00 +0100
