Parish Presidents Gone Wild!
A compliance audit released yesterday by the Louisiana Legislative Auditor reveals that Iberia Parish President Will Langlinais ain't much different from our very own Parish President Charlotte Randolph - neither can keep their head when faced with power and money. The audit shows that Langlinais “double-dipped,” receiving $7,796 in meal per diems and receiving reimbursements for the same meals. Thirteen of the 22 itemized meal receipts the audit looked at, totaling $1,429, included $354 in alcohol purchases, which is prohibited by the Louisiana Constitution according to the audit.
That's not all! Like Lafourche DPW Head Ray Cheramie, Langlinais took care of his family at Parish expense too. Langlinais's daughter received "approximately 265 feet of 24-inch polymer pipe and 40 feet of 18-inch corrugated metal pipe" which were "installed in ditches surrounding" her property. "[T]he 40-foot installation was for a driveway and the remaining installation was for beautification purposes. The total cost to the parish was approximately $4,870 ($3,667 for pipe; $897 for dirt; $165 for 7.6 yards of gravel; and $141 for labor.)" (Yo, Ray, what was the price tag for the work behind your house and in all them cattle pastures?) The audit concluded this was illegal and recommended the Parish seek reimbursement "for past services". (OH! OH! Ray, I think we have a problem.)
Yahoo!! Where do we get us one of them compliance audits for our Parish? Hey! Steve Theriot! Lafourche Parish is only 3 or 4 Parishes to the East of Iberia Parish. How about plane tickets and meals for the Parish President's spouse? And the Council paying for that spouse wrecking a Parish vehicle, with a siren and flashing lights, being used without authority? And a DPW Director doing lots and lots of work on his and his friends' property without any apparent public purpose? We done done most of the work for ya'll already, us. COME ON DOWN!!!
