Charorge Shaft 10th Ward Again;
Is It Time To Incorporate?
In a showing of what little regard Charlotte & George Randolph's Misadministration have for the people of the 10th Ward, they proposed stripping $2.1 million allocated for the South Lafourche Levee District lock and reallocating only $750,000 of $2.2 million needed to make necessary repairs to keep the Cote Blanche bridge operational, and $142,000 for repairs to a pump station in the District in which Charorge and DPW Director Ray Cheramie reside at Tuesday's Council meeting. A majority of the Council went along with the proposal.
The Corps of Engineers have committed to replacing the same pump station in the near future. No one has committed to replacing the Cote Blanche bridge. Additionally, there is no certainty that the money for the lock can, or will, be restored at a later date or that other money will be allocated to complete the repairs to the Cote Blanche bridge.
Furthermore, since Charorge proposes to perform the repairs to the Cote Blanche bridge in 3 phases, the users of the bridge will be inconvenienced three times as the bridge is shutdown for repairs, instead of once.
Can you say its time to incorporate the 10th Ward? At least that way, we get to keep, and decide locally, how some of the 65% of the tax revenues generated in the 10th Ward that go to Thibodaux annually is spent.
