Charorge's Neglect of 10th Ward Drainage Problems

Let's say drainage, and not coastal restoration, is in fact the biggest problem facing Lafourche Parish. Then, why have major drainage problems in the 10th Ward been ignored by Charorge's Administration? Populated neighborhoods on West 123rd Street in Galliano, behind Cut Off Elementary and behind Larose Cut Off Middle School flood for most rain events, not just storms. These problems have been known to this Administration since the beginning of its term. The problem behind LCO can be resolved with the expenditure of $30,000. Why has it taken so long to assist these families, when Charlotte spends $5.3 million to protect cow pastures without batting an eye?

Feel free to let me know about any other neighborhoods that flood regularly. Better still, attend the next Council meeting and let Charlotte know about your flooding problem and ask her why your neighborhood is not as important as Edna Plantation, where she squandered $5.3 million to protect that area for 30 days in case of flooding.

Don't forget about E88 st. take a ride down that street after a good rain. We got on a list over 3 months ago. Next they will want us to start paying for them to up keep our ditches.

Try Chester Lee and Buchannon St. The road is underwater from almost every rain.
