Carlos Harvin, chief of minority affairs for the Guillory administration, no longer works for LCG.
A spokesperson for LCG confirmed to KATC that Harvin no longer works for LCG. She declined further comment, citing privacy and personnel concerns. They did confirm that his city-issued vehicle is still at City Hall and is in the custody of the city now.
We also asked about a recent planned youth trip to Washington DC, which we received several calls about. The spokesperson told us that Chief Administrative Officer Cydra Wingerter is investigating the complaints and questions that parents have regarding that, and more information will be forthcoming after that investigation is complete.
Harvin ran against Mayor President Josh Guillory, and endorsed Guillory in the run-off. He then was hired by Guillory to be the chief of minority affairs.
UPDATE: Harvin posted his letter of resignation on his Facebook page.
