Where is the logic, Lafourche Parish?
FACTS:
During the most recent meeting of the Lafourche Parish Council, Parish President Charlotte Randolph stated that the State Attorney General reversed his opinion on the use of the health unit surplus, to purchase a building. The parish can purchase a building to accommodate the DA and his staff, in addition to the sheriff. Mrs. Randolph’s statement lacked enthusiasm and depicted possible remorse. The silence of the council and audience, spoke volumes.
OPINIONS:
In my opinion, the so-called health unit fund surplus can be used as intended. The surplus can be used to hire health providers and fund health programs for the Senior Citizens and children of Lafourche Parish.
In my opinion, the DA will get his luxury offices at the detriment of a decent health care system for the Senior Citizens and Children of Lafourche Parish. Who will maintain this new building? Travel Lafourche Parish and observe the parish buildings. They are embarrassments due to lack of maintenance.
Where is the logic? It appears that the purchase and remodeling of an office building for the sheriff and DA is a higher priority than the health and wellfare of our senior citizens and children. Our elected officials can continue to hold their heads up high and pat themselves on the back for doing nothing more than helping themselves. Is it Public Service or SELF SERVING?
Now that the Parish President and Council done a favor for the DA, we will observe the DA’s recriprocation. Stay in touch.
