Lafourche Parish, is Voting a Right or a Responsibility?
FACTS:
Tomorrow, Saturday, July 15, 2006 is an election day in Lafourche Parish. The voting public has a choice of paying more or less taxes during the next ten years.
OPINIONS:
It is my opinion that the people who complain the most about government and paying taxes are the same people who make up excuses for NOT VOTING. Your voice will be heard on Saturday, if you choose to speak, no excuses.
In the last administration, the parish president refused to do work on roads which the “majority Five” insisted were public. The Parish President, not the “majority five”, initiated a law suit against the council. The Parish President hired an attorney from Thibodaux to represent him. The “majority five” won their case against the Parish President. In my opinion, the people still lost, because the District Attorney under-handley removed the “majority five” before they could right the wrong against the people. In a Lafourche Parish court room yesterday, because this Parish President refused to do work on one of the above mentioned roads, was sued by residents of a so-called private street. This Parish President, Charlotte Randolph hired the same attorney from Thibodaux who lost in the last administration. It is my understanding that the judge ruled, that the road is public and the administration must maintain it.
