Promises! Promises!
Hey Charlotte! Where's the MASTER PLAN?
This is what the Daily Comet wrote in a November 13, 2003 editorial endorsing "Randolph for president":
"Randolph says she will push for the establishment of a master plan to guide future drainage and road projects. That development will be a huge step forward and will serve Lafourche well during her term in office and afterward."
O.K. its April 5, 2007, where is the master plan for drainage? Was it in Ray Cheramie's head?
The same editorial provided: "We think Charlotte Randolph will make an excellent parish president and that she will be able to work with the new Parish Council, regardless of who is in the final mix."
Want to rethink that Comet? Let's see, when did she loss the Council? About 6 months ago? Was it Ray's generators? George's wreck of a parish vehicle? Charlotte's use of the parish credit card to buy George's plane tickets, meals and booze? What about those $5.3 million levees for that lonely cattle pasture in Valentine? Shorting parish employees' checks? Low employee morale? Gaffs in the Boards & Commissions appointment process? Not handling road resurfacing contract process expeditiously? Not getting financial reports to the Council in a timely fashion? Not getting work orders processed in a timely fashion, then trying to get Councilmen booted off the Council when they felt the need to take things into their own hands? George's amateur attempts to arm twist Councilmen? All of the above?
The editorial had this to say about parish unity: "She also recognizes the horrible sectionalism that divides the parish and holds us back from the strides we could make if the whole parish pulled together for the changes we need."
If anything, Charlotte Randolph has exacerbated the divide in our parish. Huge sums of parish money have been spent in one district - the one she and her DPW director live in. That don't do much for pulling the parish together for the changes we need.
Talk is cheap.
