"Been Dazed and Confused For So Long Its Not True
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will.
Will your tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?" *
The Charlotte component of Charorge made an appearance on KLRZ's Talk on the Bayou today to do damage control as a result of Administrator Cullen Curole's appearance on the same show last Friday. (Sorry, I didn't get to hear that one.) Charlotte said a few contradictory things and a few confusing things, but the word that most comes to mind is SKETCHY. At least that is what it sounded like. But then again, the reason could be something innocent like she is not feeling WELL.
Didn't she admit on the show that the bags were stored on Parish property? But, then she said drivers from St. Bernard and St. Charles drove them here. When? Before they were called for or after? How long were they stored on Parish property? Did we charge rent for use of Parish property?
Also, for some reason, Charlotte felt the need to come to the defense of Toby Champagne, the former Parish employee presently employed by U.S. Flood Control. Charlotte, honey, that was not even worth it. The appearance of stank is indeliably etched into the Public's consciousness on this issue. Plus, state law probably forbids him from doing business with the Parish for two years passed his last day of employment with the Parish.
The cost of the bags came up. Her position continues to be -"It was an emergency, ya'll!" Yeah, and the November, 2005 email from FEMA's Jim Steele continues to read - you could have gotten them for 90% less somewhere else.
What was not confusing, but quite clear, especially after the phone call from my hero Lyndel "Laptop" Toups, was how clearly financially irresponsible Charlotte Randolph is. Lyndel understands the value of money, especially taxpayers' money. That is why he is not willing to just pay the bill for the bags without trying to negotiate a deal. Charlotte, on the other hand, says FEMA approved the invoice, so let's pay it; it's not our money.

Today's radio damage control show was certainly not ready for prime time material.(a poor player that struts and frets "HIS" hour upon the stage and then is heard no more)...Better luck next time George.
She was asked, why didn't the person who inquired about the tubes, get a price as in any otheer situation with parish goverement? her answer was that it was an emergency? In other words, she did not have an answer. First the tubes were stored and then they were trucked from St. Charles parish right away, which one is it. Cullen should resign and take a civil service job cause his present one will end early next year.
