Discussion From Comet Forum
I snatched the thread below from the Comet News Forum. The topic was "THE PUBLICS RIGHT TO KNOW?". I like the idea of a rep. from FEMA and U.S. Flood Control coming down to explain the portable levee deal and lots of people attending the Council meeting.
The idea of me as Parish President is frightening and laughable to many people, including myself. Remember Newt Gingrich? One thing I will agree with Charlotte on, its easier being a critic than actually trying to run Parish government. However, that does not make my research or opinion invalid. I think we are all better off with me doing watch dog work.
And, furthermore, thanks for the Mr. Chauvin, but my name is Carl. I know it's because ya'll Momma raised ya'll right.

Do you think Mr. Chauvin is helping the public by getting this information out there? Would you (the Public) prefer not to know the things that are going on in our parish? Why was there such a dismal turnout at the polls this last election? did you even know there was an election? If you know what things are going on and know them to be true what are you going to do about it? are you waiting for the next election to vote in yet another new parish president? If Mr. Chauvin would run for parish president would you vote for him?

Yes Mr Chauvin is done a great job with the information. Its not his imagination that he is stating its the FACTS that we the public would not know without the help of Mr Chauvin. Its each of us to determine from the facts what is right and wrong, should our money be spent for the Upperty Up or the people of the parish. Chauvin for Parish President!!!!

that last part was just a joke, but , you know someone that has invested that much time finding all these things out for us should know alot about the job of parish president and have some ideas of running our parish better.

Thanks for the complimentary remarks, but even if ya'll weren't kidding, I would not have that job - it would eat up people with alot more ability than Charlotte Randolph. I never said the job of Parish President was easy.

I believe Carl is providing an important service to the citizens of Lafourche Parish. I also believe that the Council should invite the owner of the flood control devices and a knowledgeable FEMA representative, to help shed light on the situation.

If the DA is doing nothing in this matter what would we the public be able to do? Get some sort of petition out there to bring to the council? Maybe get about 50 to 100 members of the public to attend the next council meeting? If that many public citizens arrived that the barrios center the council would probably have a heart attack."
