Council Makes Counter Offer In DA BAGS Negotiations

The Lafourche Parish Council voted 5-3 to offer $1.2 million to settle the US Flood Control portable levee bill, a purported debt which the Randolph Administration kept secret from the Council for ten months, at tonight's meeting. A first vote to offer $1.8 million failed 4-4. The original invoices totalled $5.3 million. The Council's offer was a counter offer to U.S. Floods' proposal to settle the matter for 2/3 of the original amount. Last Fall, the Council requested a Federal investigation of the deal.

Apparently, by its vote tonight, the majority of the Council is not interested in getting answers to the questions you have. They just want to get this thing out of the way, even if it means you are stuck with the bill if the Feds come in and say we should not have paid the claim.

Now if US Flood accepts the offer, how much does Charlotte Randolph owe Lafourche Parish, that is in addition to the $40,000 we paid for George's accident? Is anybody keeping a running total?

Feds? Martians? Communists? Pornographers? The ghost of Al Capone or Jimmy Hoffa? Closeted homosexual Republicans? Will somebody help us? Some of us in Lafourche Parish still believe in responsibility, accountability, honesty and integrity.

To gain a fortune and lose his soul?"

How come some people such as Charlotte Randolph, Bill Jefferson, and Eddie Jordan etc. are so well protected? It is a proven fact that they are doing something against the law and still it goes on without those people being punished.

As for me I am mad and sick as hell.

At 1.2 mil, does the parish have to pay a portion like 10%? If it is found that Charl brke the law, does she pay the 10%?

I think Reality Dictates that we ask; If U.S. FLOOD is PAID,does
anybody get 10% or so for GETTING THEM PAID!Furthurmore,I think Mr.Vickers will reject the 1.2mm offer and counter with 1.8mm. AND THEN,,,, AND THEN,,,AND THEN,,,,
AND THEN "ALONG COME THE SETTLING SIX"! Will they try to give the 1.8mm to him? Well,after all, "10% or so" of 1.8mm is a lot more than "10% or so" of 1.2mm.
