Lafourche Parish Leaders’ Famous Quotes
FACTS:
An article by Alcess P. Adams, in the August 13,2006 edition of the Lafourche Gazette, titled “Monster” ditches multiplying parish wide, is titled perfectly. Good job Mr. Adams, you have out done yourself.
What do Lafourche Parish get when it place a cowboy as head of DPW instead of an engineer? “Monster” ditches.
OPINIONS:
In my opinion, anyone who witnessed the last council meeting, witnessed an obstinate display of hypocrisy by Councilman Phillip Gouaux and Ray Cheramie. Mr. Gouaux and Mr. Cheramie are both proponents of charging the tax payers of Lafourche more money to install culverts in drainage ditches. It is said that Mr. Cheramie stated that he do not have enough man-power or equipment to cut grass for ornamental purposes in parish ditches. Gouaux allegedly stated that the residents should pay for gasoline and spend their spare time in maintaining parish ditches. In my opinion, the people who elected Gouaux, deserve Gouaux. The rest of the parish surely do not deserve this person as a parish leader.
QUOTES:
1.Lafourche Parish President Charlotte Randolph, after spending thousands of dollars on travel, returned to Lafourche Parish with her famous quote, “Where there is a will, there is a way”.
2.Was it Phillip Gouaux who stated, if you do not want your grand children falling into our monster ditches “build a fence”?
3.Lafourche Parish Councilman Daniel Lorraine, “if you can’t take the heat, get off the pot”
4.Was it Brent Callais who said, “we will install stop signs to make it safer for people to back out of their driveways”?
5.Was it Ray Cheramie who said, “I did it, and I would do it again”?
6.Was it Charlotte Randolph who said, “I put my trust in Ray”?
7.Was it the DA who said, “if it ain’t in the charter, we ain’t doing it”?
8.Was it the DA who said, “if it is brought up to my attention, I will not put my head in the sand”?
9.Was it Lindell toups who stated, “before I vote, I will ask the audience”?
All they had to do was act naturally!
Here is an idea, stop taxing the people and start selling videos of the council meetings. This would be a way of raising revenues and share in the viewing of the exhibition. The rest of the parish may love it. Until then, visit with us, we are having fun.
