Five Minutes!?!?
Maybe my watch was malfunctioning, but how is it that 6 or 7 members of the Public, during the Public Comment part of the meeting, took nearly an hour and a half of time to speak, if Council policy is to limit such presentations to 5 minutes? Dem comments shoulda been finished in 30 to 35 minutes. Yo, Council, there is something called the Equal Protection Clause in both the US and La. Constitutions and the Courts have said that it means you can't treat similarly situated people differently. Wonder if I get cut off at a real 5 minutes or tonight's 5 minutes if I ever speak before the Council again?
Look, man, it's not like I'm complaining. Each one of those members of the Public, a vast conspiracy, were firing broadsides at our favorite and hard to miss target, Charorge and Charorge's rumbling, stumbling, bumbling Misadministration.
I encourage you, dear fellow conspirators, to attend Council meetings and use your 5 or 6 or 10 minutes. Maybe somebody could sing "Cameron Parish Generators". "I'm jus' talkin' 'bout Cameron Parish Generators, baybay!" (Hope none of ya'll are English Teachers.) I'll bring the karoake machine with the music! You'll be on TV! It could be better than American Idol! Stop laughing! I'm serious!
Note: I did turn in a form to talk about those mysterious Cameron Parish Generators, but changed my mind.
