Advisory opinion regarding the applicability of the post employment restrictions to Mattie Ann Fincher Coxe, the former Environmental Impact Manager, for the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency. |
|
Mattie Ann Fincher Coxe was employed with the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency (LHFA) as an Environmental Impact Manager. As such, she personally verified or prepared environmental reviews or supervised other staff in verifying or preparing environmental reviews for certain projects funded with regular Home Investment Partnership Program funds. Ms. Coxe terminated her position with LHFA on July 13, 2011. During the Regular 2011 Legislative Session, the legislature passed legislation that would create the Louisiana Housing Corporation on December 31, 2011 and thereby abolishing the LHFA as of July 30, 2012. Ms. Coxe would like to become an environmental consultant and determine the limits concerning the post employment restrictions.
