Mayor Maestri Accused of Oil Profits Tied to Long Campaign
New Orleans reports reveal a government inquiry found Mayor Robert S. Maestri, a state administration boss, earned large profits from excess oil production in Louisiana while backing Gov Earl K Long in the upcoming Democratic primary. The interior department documented 3,111,511 barrels produced beyond lawful limits in the New Iberia field and tied profits to Maestri’s 50 percent stake in Canal Oil Company. Officials noted possible federal action under the Connally hot oil act but found no applicable federal statute. Helis remains abroad in Greece.
