Comet Lead Story
Today's Comet lead story is entitled "Complaint targets public-works head". The article concerns Ray Cheramie's use of a public employee and equipment to perform drainage work on his property in June, 2005, which I reported here first on June 19, 2006 in a post entitled "Parish Equipment And Employees Performed Work On DPW Chief's Private Property, Part 1". (Part 2 ain't complete yet.)
In the article, Mr. Cheramie admits my allegations, but claims a public purpose was served by drainage being provided him and his family. See my June 20, 2006 "A Public Purpose" post. I predicted this would be his defense. I introduced you to my client who shot the crack dealer, remember. He performed a public service; he took a public menace off the streets, at least for a while. Yet, he was still held responsible by a jury and has about 5 more years of his sentence to serve.
Furthermore, "a public purpose" is not a defense found in the Louisiana criminal code.
Other Lafourche Parish employees have been fired by this Administration for doing the exact same thing - they used parish equipment on their property. Is Mr. Cheramie above the law?

I had drainage ditches dug on my property and I PAID the contractor to do it!
I DON,T HAVE COWS .
I PAY A HELL OF A LOT MORE TAXES THAN MR.CHERAMIE.I DIG MY OWN OUTFALL CANALS ON MY OWN DAMN NICKEL!
We have sugar cane. Who digs our ditches? Not Ray Cheramie. We also have as many family members with houses as Mr.Cheramie, or more. Yes it looks like we've been "serviced" one more time.
RAY CHERAMIE REPLIES THAT HE IS ENTITLED TO PARISH DRAINAGE WORK LIKE EVERY OTHER RESIDENT.
DOES THIS MEAN,
EVERY OTHER RESIDENT HAS THE RIGHT TO THE SAME DEGREE OF DRAINAGE,PUMPING, FLOOD PROTECTION,AND OTHER SERVICES AFFORDED TO RAY CHERAMIE,HIS LESSORS, HIS FAMILY ,HIS FRIENDS,AND HIS COWS???
Carl, I am new to your web page and like many others out there, yours is a GOOD ONE.I have followed local government since 1980 and let me say this,in this administration,they will do what they want when they want weather the public likes it or not,legal or not.Like anyone who does something wrong....they'll keep doing it till they get caught or removed from office.Keep on keeping on!!!
