Dynasty in Lafourche Parish?

FACTS:

The form of government we enjoy today in the United States of America was formed in such a manner as to prevent the one person (King or Queen) or family rulers (Dynasty prevention).

OPINION:

In my opinion, the Lafourche Parish region is practicing Dynasty prevention.  We shall soon see if this intellectual practice continue.

The late former State Senator, Leonard Chabert was still in office when his son Marty ran for State Representative.  Marty was highly qualified, but lost.  Dynasty Prevention?

A long-time former US Congressman, Billy Tauzin, stepped down and afforded his son an opportunity to fill his seat.  His son lost.  Dynasty Prevention?

Past Lafourche Parish President, Gerald “Buzz” Breaux, afforded his son the opportunity to run for his vacated Council seat.  His son lost.  Dynasty Prevention?

Lafourche Parish Council member, Brent Callais, who is rumored to be running for State Representative next year, is allegedly campaigning for his father, who is a candidate for the Greater Lafourche Port Commission.  Will the Dynasty Prevention practice continue with the intellectual voters of the South Lafourche area?

Stay tuned as we examine some of the actions and in-actions of the Lafourche Parish Council at its last meeting.
