Walker Hines is a 23 year old son of a rich connected white Uptown guy, Bill Hines. Walker’s resume:
- Expelled from 2 high schools.
- 5 different colleges in 4 years.
- Graduated from Michigan only because they let him in as a displaced Katrina evacuee and he then successfully petitioned (begged) them to let him finish school there.
- Was a rabid Republican in high school, now claims to be a Democrat (dubious).
He made the runoff for the seat based on his daddy’s last name. He has accomplished nothing in his life. He has done nothing for communities or neighborhoods. He’s a little rich kid with a sense of entitlement who has never had to struggle for anything, never had to earn anything.
He’s been lucky enough to have a scandal fall on his runoff opponent, Una Anderson. I don’t particularly like either of them. Una is a former Oliver Thomas staffer who hangs out with some sleaze, though I can’t say that I know that she herself is corrupt. But she is, at the least, the lesser of the two evils. She may even turn out to be something good. She was an Amato supporter at OPSB, which is a good thing. Hines though is absolutely not qualified to be in any position of political leadership. Maybe he will go on to do great things and make something of himself. But thus far, he simply has not proven anything except that he’s the fuckup son of a well known uptown millionaire.

I went to school with Walker, and I can tell you he’s a pretty good guy. Not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a good heart. Ease up on him a bit.

I graduated from Michigan with Walker and he’s an all around great guy. The Michigan Daily even ran a special highlight piece on him (begged to stay? we’re the ones that begged him). At least he’s getting up and getting out; what did you accomplish by the age of 23? I respect the hell outta this kid.

I too went to school with Walker, and all I know about him is that he was obsessed with sports stats as a child, was raised by a nanny most of his life, and his father has more money than God. As for anything he’s done for the New Orleans community, I would doubt if he’s ever done a thing, but since I don’t keep up with the kid, I wouldn’t know.
