Millions of $s for Ray, Charlotte and they're padnas;
$O for drainage on W. 25th St., 10th Ward, Part 2
Here's a second letter to the editor concerning flooding on W. 25th Street in Larose that was published in the August 23 edition of the Lafourche Gazette:

"Campaign promises to be remembered next election

Roads and drainage...Seems to be all we hear about during election time!

Well, I've lived on West 25th Street for 24 years, and we don't have any drainage. I'm one of the fortunate ones, because I didn't get any water in my home for Hurricane Juan in 1985, when so many people in the South Lafourche area flooded due to levee breaks. However, I did flooded in 1992 due to rainstorm. Some of my neighbors have flooded in excess of nine times during the last several years.

Our cries fall on deaf ears. For Hurricane Katrina there were 16 homes that water went into, and one year later, we still haven't seen our ditches re-dug. Instead of the parish doing drain work in the most needed areas, I've observed progress in areas where homes are not affected with flooding problems due to rain.

Where are the priorities? Is it the upper class subdivisions or the who you know ditches, that
get results? All we would like is an honest answer as to when you are going to finally fix once and for all our drainage, so we can sleep at night not worrying if our homes will flood again due to neglect on the part of our officials in charge of providing the tax payers the services in which we are paying for.

I, for one will remember all the campaign promises made come next election day.

Charlotte don't live in Larose. She live in the same area as Ray Cheramie. You know, that area where they placed the 5.3 million dollars of tubes to protect Ray's cows.
