Season’s Greetings Lafourche Parish
FACTS:
A group known as Lafourche First was organized in 2003. Their objective was to assist in providing good government for the tax payers of Lafourche parish, by supporting progressive thinking candidates for the Lafourche Parish Council and President. They supported candidates with the same “CORE VALUES” as the members of the Lafourche First organization.
OPINIONS:
It is my understanding that Lafourche First is proud of all of Lafourche Parish elected officials, so I decided, in the spirit of the season, I would re-frame from writing anything which may be construed as being negative. At last Tuesday’s Council meeting, there was one incident in particular which I did not read about in news print or hear about on the local radio shows. It is alleged that in the spirit of the season, Councilman Lindell Toups offered the administration his help in operating parish equipment on the weekends. The Parish President, Charlotte Randolph, in her usual professional and appreciative manner replied “do you think you can pass a drug test”? Councilman Toups, in his usual professional manner replied “I can pass one a heck of a lot better than you”.
While shopping at a local Lafourche Parish super market, I met up with a gentleman who voiced concern over the above mentioned incident. His remarks were, “you talk about the pot calling the kettle black”. My remarks to the gentleman were, we now have good government consisting of a group of professionals, who are holding true to the core values of Lafourche First. Happy Holidays.
Stay in touch. It is the season to be positive but truthful. Keep reading your truthful blog.
