Wayne Lawson is not for sale…no matter what Ascension Parish President Kenny Matassa and his bagman, Olin Berthelot, have to offer. They offered Lawson quite a lot if…If Lawson withdrew his candidacy for Gonzales City Council, Division E. But Wayne Lawson is not for sale; and Matassa, if there be any justice in Ascension Parish, is about to find that out the hard way.


Allegedly and in recording Offered $1200 among other things for a candidate to withdraw his candidacy for a seat on the council .
quote:

3. Matassa and his bagman initially offered $150 ($75 each) to compensate Lawson for the cost of election qualifying; then upped the offer to $1,200 to pay for repairs on a trailer…if Wayne Lawson withdrew his candidacy. See link below which evidences the more generous bribe offered to Lawson. 4. Matassa offered to have a parish employee make repairs to the same trailer…if he took his name off the ballot.

He should just resign before he gets indicted. Plus, He should have come up with more money and maybe Lawson wouldn't have exposed him. $1200 is laughable.

Comments make it even better. Someone asking if Lawson is the former National Guard recruiter that went to jail for some kind of Food Stamp fraud.

Chris Loar, his opponent, seems like a real good guy. He was pretty good on the council. Hopefully, he will run next time again. Frankly, I would not be shocked if Matassa has his hands in the election results.

I just listened to some of the tapes. Those dudes are screwed.



This conversation just reeks of conspiracy...the one woman saying "you can have this (envelope of money) after you do this (sign affidavit of withdrawal).

Not quite The Godfather level scenarios but along the same lines without the horse head and strong arm physical tactics. Wonder if it would have gone to that!

I can't believe the guy got elected. Like anyone with sense and 5 seconds of experience in the AP didn't see this coming.

Couldn't figure out how this guy won the AP prez in the first place. All of my neighbors and friends seemed to vote for Loar.

If the Parish President thing falls apart, he can always go back to his original gig opening bud light bottles with his front teeth.
