Is the Following “FIVE” a Negative for Lafourche Parish?

FACTS:

1. The state of New Jersey abolished the death sentence.
2.  A new state representative was elected to district 54 in Louisiana.
3.  Charlotte Randolph was re-elected to the position of Lafourche Parish President.
4.  Craig Webre was re-elected as Sheriff of Lafourche Parish.
5.  Cam Morvant is alleged to be running for a second term, as the Lafourche Parish District Attorney.

OPINIONS:

1.  Isn’t abortion a death sentence?  I believe in abolishing the death sentence but only after abortion is abolished.

2.  Good luck to the newly elected state representative of district 54 in Louisiana.  The dilemma is that a small community in Jefferson Parish elected the alleged least qualified of the candidates to represent the majority of district 54 constituents in Lafourche Parish.

3.  Charlotte Randolph is the first Lafourche Parish President to be re-elected.  In light of the recent audit, do you believe that the voters made a wise decision?  The recent audit indicates alleged wrong doing by the Parish President and her administration. 

        Some audit findings:  The Lafourche Parish Council (Parish) provides public credit cards to the parish president, parish administrator, finance director, Head Start director, and public works director.  From January 1, 2004 to January 1,2007, parish employees made 757 credit card purchases totaling $87,789.  During the review of these purchases, it was noted that the parish was missing and/or had incomplete documentation for 108 transactions totaling $11,960: the parish incurred late fees and finance charges totaling $2,245 as the result of untimely payments; there were personal purchases totaling$2,529: and there was inadequate supporting documentation for fuel charges totaling $9,066.

        We reviewed the supporting documentation for 43 travel reimbursements.  Of the 43 reimbursements, 34 did not have travel authorizations and 12 were missing expense reports.  Of the forms we were able to locate, only 7 travel authorization forms and 19 expense reports were properly approved.

The 2000-2004 council proved that they were able to read and interrupt the “Charter”.  Perhaps “Lafourche First” tried to replace the 2000-2004 council with people who can not read.

4.  The Lafourche Parish sheriff is alleged to not have investigated the alleged corruption in the Randolph Administration, over the last four years.  Do the voters expect him to do anything over the next four years?

5.  The ”FIVE” million $ question, can Lafourche Parish tax-payers afford another six years of Cam Morvant, as district attorney?  Be careful of what you think about my good friend “CAM”, he indicated that he is a mind reader.  He stated that he didn’t believe that Parish President Charlotte Randolph had the intent to violate any laws.  Perhaps, she didn’t intend on getting caught;  That is not a defense, Cam.
