Charorge: In Denial, Head in the Sand, or Living on Another Planet?
In speaking on behalf of beleaguered DPW Chief Ray Cheramie during the debate over Tommy Lasseigne's resolution to ask Queen Charlotte to terminate his employment at Tuesday's Council meeting, she stated that he has her vote of confidence because he has done a fabulous job for the parish. She also stated that the Parish is on the brink of greatness, that a very few people want to dwell on the negative and not the positive, that the voters voted out the negative dudes, except, she implied, the demonic Daniel Lorraine, 2 1/2 years ago and they want to see the parish move forward and to see Parish Government act professionally.
OK, where do we start? Within the last two weeks it has been revealed that Ray Cheramie has not only lent three public generators to members of his family, but has also used parish equipment and a worker to perform work on his private property. Additionally, Mr. Cheramie has been cited for simple battery of a Councilman and Mr. Cheramie signed many right-of-way agreements and performed drainage work on private property owned by his friends over nearly a two years period without Council approval. If that's a FABULOUS and PROFESSIONAL job on Charlotte's planet, I would hate to see what mediocrity would require.
As for Queen Charlotte, it appears that when she was sworn in, she apparently believed that Parish property became her personal property. She charged travel, food and alcohol to Parish credit cards for her husband. She allowed her husband to drive a Parish vehicle, which he then wrecked, with us paying for the damages. She paid salaried employees overtime. She's been bitch slapped by the DA and the Comet for scheduling Council meetings without giving Public notice. Many members of the Public have complained at Council meetings and on KLRZ that she does not return phone calls. Her administration botched an appointment to the St. John Fire District, that Mr. Dwaine Andras was up for, so badly that it ain't even funny.
Is this a pattern of an administration with an air that they are simply not accountable for actions that would get you and I jail time or fired? Are you starting to see the parallels between Charlotte Randolph and George W. Bush yet? That positive/negative gibberish is sounding an aweful lot like that goober thing Bush says "they hate us for our freedom".
Is it negative to bring this information to the Public's attention or is it a public service? Is keeping this information secret being positive or signs of an administration with a desire to cover-up the facts that show them in a bad light? In Charlotte's book, does being professional mean towing the company line or does it mean a code of conduct that requires you to follow a certain standard of behavior and working until the job is done?
Like Bush, Charlotte hasn't gotten the message that it is not "a very few negative" people talking bad about them, it is the weight of Public opinion that is decidely negative towards both.
