Santa Clause is Coming to Town.

FACTS:

Not only Santa Clause is comming to town, but the Louisiana Legislative Auditor is returning to Lafourche Parish for additional investigations.  Their findings in the report dated November 28, 2007 is comprehensive enough to justify the calling of a Grand Jury.  What else will they be looking for?

OPINIONS:

Could the upcoming investigation be on:

1. the “WATER WEENIE” scam?  In my opinion,thanks to DA Cam Morvant, tax payers money was used to pay for undocumented transactions.
2. violation of the parish ordinance (law) covering subdivision regulations?  In my opinion,three groups are responsible for using taxpayers’ money to pay for an undersized water line to private individuals.  The three groups are the Water District of Lafourche Parish, The Lafourche Pariah Council and its administration, and the Lafourche Parish District Attorney’s office.  In my opinion, the payment for and installation of an under-sized water line is a violation of law.  The people responsible should be asked to resign their position and reimburse the tax-payers.
3. the purchase of the new DA building?  Where did the funding come from?  Was this “Health Unit” funds, dedicated to children and senior citizens?  Was there a need by the DA to purchase this particular building?  Did the Building belong to a friend or family member of the Lafourche First organization?  Was the public money used to help unload the “PINK ELEPHANT”?
4. expenditures from a Thibodaux-based “Foundation” fund?

Thanks to the council’s decision to pass the audit resolutions, the auditors can now come in and do a complete investigation.  It will be interesting to see if boards like the Hospital Boards and others are looked into.
