Magic Kingdom in Lafourche Parish?
FACTS:
An article appearing in the Daily Comet dated October 20, 2003 entitled “New Councilman ready For Post”, by Emilie Bahr, turns out to be a bad joke after four years. An article appearing in the Daily Comet dated January 2, 2008 entitled “500,000 in Taxpayer Money Earmarked to pave Private Road”, by Ben Lundin, expose the embarrassment Brent Callais has brought on Lafourche Parish.
OPINION:
In the 2003 article, Lafourche Parish Councilman Brent Callais stated that he was a lumber broker with Dufrene’s Building Material. Why didn’t Mr. Callais state that he was working for Chouest? Excerpts from the 2003 article reads, “Edwards and the King Fish have long been political heroes of Callais”. “Callais has studied the masters, reinventing some of the styles of his political icons”. “Callais said he hopes to travel to Pamplona, Spain, next year to run with the bulls”.
In my opinion, the only bull Callais had anything to do with was the “BULL” he fed the tax payers of Lafourche Parish. In my opinion, the Feds may still investigate the Bladder fiasco and Mr. Callais may end up with one of his political icons.
In the 2008 article, Callais is referred to as a consultant for a professional basketball team. Why didn’t Mr. Callais state that he is working for Chouest?
The 2008 article states that Mr. Callais is in favor of spending tax payers money on his “ALLEGED” employer”s private road.
Why didn’t Mr. Callais ear-mark money to pave a gravel public road (Clovelly Road)within his district? Clovelly Road is used by the general public every day. It leads to the only public boat launch on the east side of Bayou Lafourche, located within the district. Clovelly Road also serves as access to the South Lafourche Levee system. Priority or employment?
Do you think Callais have a future in politics or will he and Gary ride off into the sunset and retire in the “MAGIC KINGDOM”? ”At Disney World”? Your comments are welcomed.

I agree with you all the way on this one. My question is this: When you run a business, your main priority is to make money and make your clients happy so that they keep coming back. My question to Daniel Lorraine and Brent Callais is show the people of the parish where Raphael Road made money, if any, to Lafourche Parish? Now, I want them to show side by side who brought the Parish more money last year: Raphael Road or the Airport Road? I can promise you the Airport Road brought this Parish money. All this Parish is about is “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours”. It’s not about the people….Not anymore.
I think you are wasting your time on Brent Callais. He is gone and ain’t commin back no mo. The road is public . The district in south lafourche has plenty money. it can do the airport road anytime it wants to. I like your blog and most of your writings. Just, don’t waste you time on a has been.
