Millions of $s for Ray, Charlotte and they're padnas;
$O for 10th Ward courtroom
Following is an email I received from Lafourche Parish Bar Association President Damon Stentz relative to the courtroom at the 10th Ward Annex:
"Dear Bar Members:
You may or may not have heard that the courthouse annex in Galliano has closed down. On July 28, 2006, the 17th JDC issued the order, formally closing the annex. The order says, in pertinent part:
"Considering that the courthouse in Galliano consists of several rooms in a building owned by the Parish of Lafourche which houses other Parish and Public agencies, that the Parish Governing Authority has recently determined that the building is no longer suitable to house these offices and agencies and has secured a more adequate building to relocate all offices and agencies, and that to construct and equip a new courthouse location in a new site would require a substantial outlay of public funds;
"Further, considering that neither the Court nor the Parish Governing Authority has the available funds at this time to construct and equip a new courthouse facility in accordance with current standards, including security, and considering that in recent years the Court has not used the Galliano courthouse as frequently as in the past for various reasons, including scheduling conflicts with lawyers and litigants from the South Lafourche area, the substandard conditions of the facility, the lack of security, the lack of staff support, and the time and expense attendant to traveling to and from the facility, the Court now determines that it will no longer conduct sessions of court in the courthouse in Galliano."
This order was signed en banc by the judge in each division of court, effectively closing the Galliano courthouse annex on August 1, 2006.
I have emailed this announcement to every member who has provided an email address to the Bar Association. Please pass this information along to other attorneys in your office or elsewhere who do not have email addresses.
If you have any questions, you may contact me or the 17th JDC.
Damon Stentz
President, LPBA"
If you are going to do what it takes, Charlotte, why don't you do what it takes to mitigate the burden of 10th Ward residents having to travel all the way to Thibodaux for court. I guess Lafourche Parish, to you, doesn't extend below the Intracoastal Waterway, except as a source for tax money.

Isn't it par for the course that the people of the 10th ward get the shaft. It seems like it's been that way for ever. It's so much more convenient for them to have us drive to Thibodaux, than for them to drive down here for us. It doesn't seem to matter what how much of an inconvenience it for some of poor or elderly to make the trip up there. Like you stated, as long as we send our tax $$$$$$$$. Nothing exist outside of Thibodaux!
