Lafourche Parish and Louisiana, Truth or Fiction
FACTS:
“Council debates about levee protection devices”, written by Alces P. Adams and “Offshore revenue sharing closer to reality”, written by Doug Cheramie, II are articles found in the July 19, 2006 edition of the Lafourche Gazette.
OPINIONS:
According to Mr. Adams’ article, referring to the alleged millions of dollars spent by the Lafourche Parish President on levee protection devices, the parish president stated that she has greater authority during an emergency. Ms. Randolph, remember the words of my friend the D.A., “if it ain’t in the Charter, we Ain’t doing it.” Ms. Randolph, simply go to the Charter and point out the section that gives the Parish President greater authority during an emergency.
I am under the impression that the state of Louisiana is participating in offshore revenue sharing. Mr. Cheramie’s article, “Offshore revenue sharing closer to reality,” is confusing to me. I heard that some people are complaining about the state not getting its “fair share”. I also heard that the issue is being considered in the US House of Representative and the US Senate. In my opinion, this closer to reality syndrome will continue until after the mid-term congressional elections. In the final Analise’s, I predict that if we receive any increase in offshore revenues, it may not be enough to cover Ms. Randolph’s unnecessary spending.
The Nation and the state of Louisiana is watching. Visit with us again, as we continue the effort to unleash the truth.
