Charlotte "Clueless" Randolph's Top Ten "just didn't occur to me" List
10. "just didn't occur to me" that I couldn't charge my husband's plane tickets and meals to a parish credit card

9. "just didn't occur to me" that I couldn't allow my husband to drive a parish vehicle.

8. "just didn't occur to me" that I couldn't pay salaried employees overtime.

7. "just didn't occur to me" that I would have to do more than cut ribbons, be photographed and travel as Parish President.

6. "just didn't occur to me" that I would have to still be accountable, even though I was elected by the big shots in the parish.

5. "just didn't occur to me" that I couldn't get the Parish Council to raise the cost of public records to $1 to try to stop that asshole Carl A. Chauvin.

4. "just didn't occur to me" that I would get such bad press. (Except from the Comet's editorial staff, which seems to be MIA since about October.)

3. "just didn't occur to me" that I wouldn't be able to raise $15.88 million so I could have a slush fund going into reelection year.

2. "just didn't occur to me" that I could not censor public records involving my misuse of public funds.

1. "just didn't occur to me" that coastal restoration and not drainage is the most pressing problem in Lafourche Parish. (It's like the 10th Ward doesn't exist to this woman except, perhaps, as a bank.)

Charlotte, you are way out of your league. So much so, that you are endangering large segments of the population in Lafourche Parish. Your failure to fight aggressively to get Lafourche Parish the money it needs to protect itself in the wake of Katrina is unacceptable. New Orleans is getting billions for levees. We, on the other hand, are getting nothing. Due to your lack of leadership skills and the limitations in your level of abilities (in other words, you are a light weight), a golden opportunity to advance our cause at the most opportune time in our history has been lost. What we needed from our public servants is the laying of a heavy guilt trip on the Feds to get us the money we need for coastal restoration and levee protection. Instead, you told them we suffered no damage and that they should concern themselves with the needs of other parishes. Maybe, had you visited the 10th Ward since Katrina, instead of skirting it by using Hwy. 3235 on your way to your camp on Grand Isle, you would be better informed on the subject.

Most critically, you have lost the Public's confidence, even amongst your friends.

Leadership is a trait you earn and develop, it can't be bestowed by big shots.

You have failed. You must go.

I hereby call for your resignation.
