Lafourche First Department Heads May Be On Their Way Out
FACTS:
The Lafourche Parish President will soon submit names as a recommendation for the Parish Department Head Positions. It will then become the responsibility of the Lafourche Parish Council to either accept or reject the Parish President’s recommendations.
OPINIONS:
It is rumored that 3 of the present department heads may not be accepted by the Lafourche Parish Council. The rejection, if it becomes a reality has merit.
Head of the Department of Public Works, Ray Cheramie, is one who is rumored to be on his way out. Over the last four years, it is my opinion that Mr. Cheramie has proven to be self-serving and unqualified for his position. His former employer, Mr. Danos, who served as Secretary/Treasurer of Lafourche First is rumored to have been instrumental in obtaining the position for Mr. Cheramie. Hopefully this new Council will not be intimidated by members of Lafourche First.
Head of the Department of Recreation, Brennan Matherne, is said to be on his way out. In my opinion, while employed by KLRZ Radio, Matherne pulled many underhanded stunts to help Lafourche First get their people elected. His reward is his present employment. In my opinion, Mr. Matherne is still very far from being qualified for his present position. It is alleged that he was part of several wrong doings that took place under the Randolph administration. I often wondered why the recreation director was used to oversee construction projects.
Finally, a former member of Lafourche First, Cullen Curole, who is the Parish Administrator, may be on his way out. In my opinion, Mr. Curole, an attorney, should have been able, as administrator, to prevent the Randolph administration from wasting tax payers money on their many blunders.
In my opinion, the tax payers can thank Lafourche First for providing Lafourche with three individuals who knows nothing about nothing and allegedly placed Lafourche Parish in the embarrassing position it is in today. Thank you for your comments.
