Lafourche Parish Council Chairperson, Leadership?????
FACTS:
Viewing last Tuesday’s Lafourche Parish Council meeting reinforced the public perception of this administration and its department heads having more excuses for not doing things, then Carter have Liver Pills. The focus was on the lack of leadership of the Chairperson.
OPINIONS:
It appeared that the Chairperson had the attention span of a flea, which was embarassing to watch and insulting to the public speakers, to say the least. He Lacked professionalism by looking down and side to side as he arrogantly did not address the speakers by their sir names. It is obvious that the Chairperson did not vote on the FEMA map issue based on facts presented by both sides of the issue. He voted to appease both sides, that is not leadership. The Chairperson called for a vote on the FEMA map issue. He began by naming four council individuals to his right, one at a time, they voiced their yeas and nays. When it was time for the Chairperson to vote, he did not, he turned to the left and called on the four council members, one individual at a time as their votes were recorded. The vote at this time was 5 against and 3 for the issue. The Chairperson voted with the three, his vote had no affect on the outcome, thus appeasing both sides. This display by Mr. Brent Callais supports the assertions that he is highly incompetent and truly belong in the “Jelly Fish Pond”.
Keep in touch, be alert because we, as tax payers will have a chance to vote our conscious in this month’s election and next year’s election (This month, the tree and next year, the acorn).
