Experience Counts, especially on the Lafourche Parish Council
FACTS:
The peacockish councilman, Brent Callais and councilman Lasseign were guest on a local radio talk show on June 8,2006.
OPINIONS:
In my opinion, the peacockish councilman Callais babbled for two hours without saying anything. The projects he spoke of weather they were library, drainage, or any other were started in the previous administration. Callais failed to inform the public that he is only riding on the coat tail of the much more experienced former councilman.
In my opinion, the more experienced councilman Daniel Lorraine said more in his two minute phone call than the peacockish Callais said in two hours. Callais said he agreed with councilmen Lasseign, Lorraine and Toups on the present culvert dilemma, but Lorraine informed the public that Callais voted opposite on the present culvert situation.
The parish has a policy for the installation of culverts in parish drainage servitudes. The tax payer purchase culverts and parish personell install them. Councilman Daniel Lorraine stated that the taxes paid to the parish by the land owner entitles the land owner parish services.
The Lafourche Parish Council is the governing authority of the parish. The administration shall follow council policies. The District Attorney and Attorney General of the state are advisory. All councilmen who votes in line with the administration against a set policy is voting against his constituents.
It appears that the Randolph administration is all about MONEY, MONEY, MONEY. Money do not guarantee good government.
The Peacock informed the public of his little group of first responders gathering in one location in the event of a natural diaster. What will they be doing? Who will be left to respond if this location is demolished?
After 2 1/2 years into this administration, it is time for Callais to step off of the coat tail and do something original.
On a positive note, cell phones were provided to parish councilmen and employees at the tax payers expense, here are a few numbers.Cullen Curole-859-2172, Charolette Randolph-665-6651, Brent Callais-438-4120, Daniel Lorraine-438-4122, Lindell Toups-852-8359.
