Advocate Pauvre Will Sentencing Story
The Advocate has a real good story on Pauvre Will's sentencing.

Here's a part I couldn't resist quoting:

Parish Councilman Naray Hulin also spoke in support of Langlinais, saying that the allegations against Langlinais could be lodged against other public officials in the state.

“I really don’t think Will did anything that’s basically not occurring around Louisiana,” Hulin said. “This has been a common occurrence for 50 years.”

And dey all should enjoy the same or similar fate, right Charorge?

After reading the part of the article where the writer describes Pauvre Will's disdeeds, tell me it doesn't sound like the malfeasance of the Randolph Gang: "routinely using public funds to do work on private property, making parish employees help raise his campaign funds and awarding contracts without the approval of the Parish Council." That's small potatoes compared to what we got!!!

1. Booze, meals and plane tickets for a spouse on Parish credit card. (The Judge would order reimbursement anyway, Charlotte. That's not a defense. You broke it; you bought it.)
2. Approving payment for spouses wreck without Council approval. (Council only approved $15,000, not the $4o,ooo which was paid and what the wreck actually cost us.)
3. Contracts without Council approval for 25 plus days of rental of DA BAGS to the tune of at least $4 million after the emergency had ended.
4. Ray's generators-for-family-members plan.
5. Ray's use of parish equipment and personnel on at least 4 properties he or his family owns or leases.

And that is just the stuff we actually know about. What did we not uncover? Shake-downs of vendors? Kickbacks for contracts? Did your staff take personal leave time to work at your golf tournament? Have y'all paid taxes on all the "perks" y'all got, including the "supplemental pay" from local businesses when the $35,000 salary wasn't cutting it and the payments for the wreck which you are liable for? You know, that is taxable income, right?
