Council Expresses Displeasure Over Parish's Finances
In a rare display of courage and independence, the Lafourche Parish Council voted 6-3 to remove Parish Finance Director Shannon Chaisson at tonight's meeting, one short of the 7 required by the Charter to remove a department head. Voting for the measure were Mark Atzenhoffer and Brent Callais, the sponsors, and Daniel Lorraine, Tommy Lasseigne, Tyrone Williams and Lindel Toups.
In another set back for Charorge, the Council also voted by a 6-3 majority to over ride its veto of an ordinance requiring the Parish to continue to install culverts at a nominal fee. Voting for were Lorraine, Lasseigne, Toups, Callais, Williams and Delatte.
The Council also voted by an 8-1 margin, with Mike Matherne voting no, to ask DA Cam Morvant whether Charlotte had authority to enter into the $5.3 million portable levee deal.

My guess is that Mildfaced Matherne acted at the last council meeting when he seemed so surprised. Now we really see that he was in on it as well, especially since he did not vote for the measure but instead held fast with the yellow board nailed against his back.
