Calmness, an Attribute of Leadership

FACTS:

Earlier this year, the Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Angelette Danos Randolph lost her calm and lashed out at Councilman Daniel Lorraine in a public Lafourche Parish Council meeting.  At the last Lafourche Parish Council meeting, Parish President Charlotte Angelette Danos Randolph lashed out at Councilman Tommy Lasseigne, simply for asking a pertinent question.

OPINIONS:

It is my opinion that the lack of professionalism and lack of calmness displayed by Mrs. Randolph raises concern of her leadership abilities during an emergency.  It is alleged that during Mrs. Randolph’s election campaign she said “lets take our parish back.”  In my opinion, she has taken the parish back 50 years.  It is alleged that Councilman Phillip Gouaux agrees with the parish president when she said we must move our parish forward.  In my opinion, Mr. Gouaux agrees to moving the parish forward somewhere between Valentine and Lockport.  It is alleged that Mr. Gouaux stated that the placement of the inflatable flood protection bladders saved lives.  Was it a tsunami or a predicted tidal rise?

It is alleged that the tidal rise was closer to over topping a section of the South Lafourche levee system than the section of the North Lafourche levee system where the alleged bladders were placed.  It is alleged that the levees were over-topped south of the Golden Meadow flood gates, in Councilman Daniel Lorraine’s district.  Did President Randolph place bladders on that levee?

During Mrs. Randolph’s scolding of Councilman Lorraine earlier this year, she is alleged to have said that she would not hurt councilman Lorraine’s constituants.  In my opinion, she will not help them either.

Tomorrow we will journey with a few Native Americans who never got their parish (land) back.
