Trapped in a web of their own design - the price
When did Parish officials know about the price of the $5.3 million cow capots?
Cam wrote in his opinion of August 16, 2006 that "[a]ccording to parish personnel, approximately two (2) weeks (on or about October 7, 2005) after Rita made landfall, a meeting was held with Mr. Vickers, Mr. Cheramie and Mr. Seth Holloway in attendance. At that meeting, Mr. Vickers presented the first set of invoices detailing the rental costs of the portable levees."
However, in a July 22. 2006 Comet article, President Randolph is quoted as saying, "We put off using them as long as we could because we knew the price of these things." This suggests prior knowledge.
Furthermore, TPRTK obtained from the Administration copies of emails dated Sept. 27 and Sept. 28, 2005 wherein U.S. Flood Control informs Mr. Ray Cheramie's assistant that the invoices are attached and asking for a purchase order number. Therefore, Mr. Cheramie's office knew the price on Sept. 27 or Sept. 28.
Did the Administration know the price of the portable levees before they were delivered and deployed? Did the "parish personnel" misinform DA Morvant? Did the Administration not provide DA Morvant copies of these emails obtained by TPRTK through a public records request?
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anyone home?
Are you comfortably numb?

What's the old saying "Out of sight. Out of mind." Why can't we as people get anything done about this. Don't we count for anything other than to provide money for taxes?
Talk to people you know about what you read here. Tell them Charlotte needs to go.
Call the DA, 447-2003 and the Sheriff, 798-2255. Ask them whether these people are above the law.
Speak at Council meetings. Ask how you can SEE where all the money went and why so much of it was spent in the District where Charlotte and Ray live.
Call your Councilman.
