Lafourche Parish Facts And Opinions

FACTS:

What is a billion?
1. A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
2. A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
3. A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the stone age.

OPINIONS:

Local Government, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$:  WE need people with money management skills to serve on the appointed boards and as elected officials.  Most of all, we need honest public servants.  Tax payers in Lafourche parish are paying millions of dollars in taxes to the local government.  If the local government and boards continue on its present trend, the tax payers of Lafourche will be soon paying billions.
EXAMPLES:
1. Once a free service to the tax payers, installation of culverts by the parish will now cost the property owner.
2. The Water District wants to borrow millions of dollars, which will cost millions in interest.
3. The south Lafourche Levee District want to tax its citizens an additional 1% sales tax.
4. This council wasted health unit tax money on an old building for the DA, rather than construct a new one.
5. Most of the parish’s public buildings are falling apart and need replacing.
6. The Parish annex building was recently shut down by this administration.
7. The parish needs $30 million to replace the parish detention center (JAIL).
8. Lafourche Parish should be one of the richest parish in the state; Why are we going deeper in debt with this administration?  This tax and borrow mentality, has got to Goaux.

In my opinion, we will never have enough money to support the bad habits of this parish administration.  This Parish President, Charlotte Randolph, is alleged to have committed $5.3 million of tax payers money to an alleged FEMA scam.  Federal offense?

Keep in touch, keep a close eye on your money and the “Water Weenie Queen” (Charlotte Randolph).
