Charorge's Gold Star Commission
Lame-Duck Lafourche Parish President Charorge Randolph announced at tonight's meeting they were going back to the drawing board in their headlong pursuit of separating you from your money so that they can build projects for themselves and their friends and cattle in Central Lafourche. (Apparently, cattle have been given the vote.) You know, like the Edgar Guidry pump station which is about 500 yards from their abode. (Talk about an excellent TV commercial idea for one of their opponents!)
What Charorge's plan is is to convene a committee made up of people from each district which will recommend projects to them that they can use to resusitate their ill conceived and received general obligation bond, with the results to be placed on the September 30 ballot. (Haven't we heard this song before?) Charorge explained the withdrawal of their slush fund proposal by stating that things have changed since March 1 and that FEMA would be footing the bill on some of the drainage projects (for Central Lafourche cattle?). Therefore, the need for the general obligation bond had disappeared. Yeah, and a dog doesn't lick himself! And termites don't eat wood!
Betcha the Lockport to Larose $3 Million levee project will make a second appearance.
I say, no more parish-wide taxes. If you can't pay for it, you don't get it.
It's time we stop pretending we are one big happy parish. What we are is two parishes, one leeching off the other. And the other is getting mighty tired of getting screwed every which way.
