Dey Took Da 5th
I called in to Charlotte and Cullen on KLRZ today. I asked them whether there were any maps showing where all drainage work has been done from the beginning of their term. The answer - No. Why not? Cullen stated they did not want to draw pictures "so that you can come back later and criticize us about it." (Sorry fellow members of the Public. It's all my fault you don't have an easier way of seeing where the work is being done. On the other hand, this lack of critical data-keeping by Charlotte's Misadministration is keeping with their policy of trying to keep you in the DARK.) Another question: Can the public go out and see the drainage work performed so far? Neither Cullen nor Charlotte would answer the question. I guess they were taking the 5th! You can't be compelled to incriminate yourself under the US Constitution.

I asked, if there has been no parish-wide drainage plan through this date, how was it determined what projects would be done. After some hemming and hawing by Cullen and Charlotte, I guess the answer was Ray Cheramie had total discretion.

There has been no criterian in this parish for the last 2 1/2 years to determine what drainage projects had merit and which didn't or which ones should have the highest priority. With what we know about the self-serving nature of this Administration, how can we trust that friends didn't come first when it came to drainage?
