Charorge: No Money For Cote Blanche Bridge Repairs
The Cote Blanche bridge needs $2 million of repairs, yet Charlotte says there is no money in the budget to finance those repairs. So, what she wants to do is take the money from Road Sales District # 2, which is financed through a tax assessed only in the 10th Ward. Sounds familiar?
Whenever the 10th Ward needs public improvements, we have to pay for them ourselves. Whenever the rest of the Parish needs public improvements, the 10th Ward subsizes 65% of it. And there always seems to be enough money for parks in Thibodaux, a walking track in the Thibodaux Walmart, boat launches in Lockport and $5.3 million for portable levee rental for cattle pastures in Valentine.
Road Sales Taxes are intended for "Road" repairs. That is the tax call voters approved. Bridges are not roads. They are more akin to buildings. Why not take the money from the Building fund? You know, the fund that is financing the acquisition of Cam's Taj Mahal in Thibodaux?
What has Charlotte done for the 10th Ward? No money for flooding problems in Larose, Cut Off and Galliano. No money to repair the Annex. No money to complete Parish offices in the new Galliano library. The 10th Ward courtroom closed.
10th Ward business owners, why contribute money we helped ya'll earn to Charorge's reelection when they shaft us at every turn!?!?
The primary election date is October what?

And don't foget the ton of money spent for projects on private property through "TORO DU COTEAU'S" black hole also known as THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS.
One day a few months ago Mrs. Randolph was on our local radio station 100.3. She was getting calls left and right from residents of Grand Isle thanking her for the help she gave to them right after the storm. Well I know it is nice to help our neighbors but since when Grand Isle become a part of Lafourche Parish? If she did give help in what way I just hope it wasn't on my dime. Lafourche voters please beware of who you will entrust your parish to in the next PARISH PRESIDENT ELECTION.
