Let's Share

Have any interesting information I can verify through independant sources, such as public records, or, if you have personal knowledge, would you be willing to sign an affidavit regarding questionable expenditures of our hard-earned tax dollars? My email address is in my profile window in the upper right corner.

You know about Charlotte and George's August 24, 2005 automobile accident which has cost the Parish over $15,000 for the victim's property damage thus far. George was driving the emergency preparedness vehicle, without proper authority, a few days before Katrina. He couldn't resist using the siren and flashing lights and caused an accident disabling the vehicle for use after Katrina. Does anybody know where the vehicle was stored the week after the storm? Our vehicle suffered $3,200 damage, according to an October 10, 2005 Daily Comet Article. Will the Parish sue Charlotte and George for the damages for which they are personally liable?

I have, or can get, all the paper I need on Charlotte's unauthorized payment of overtime to salaried employees in the wake of Katrina. Yes, that was double time and a half to Parish employees, while hundreds of heroic Lafourche citizens gave their time and money free of charge to their fellow citizens in need BECAUSE IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Makes you wonder about the character of the people Charlotte is placing on the Parish payroll, don't it?

I'm working on a story concerning the failure of the Parish to obtain Corp of Engineers permits for digging so-called outfall canals. Got any verifiable tidbits on that subject?

I'm also working on a story about the use of Parish generators the week after Katrina. Let me know if you have any interesting information on that subject.

The Public has a right to know!
