Orgeron, so classy! Dresses like a slob at council meetings, yells at voters, threatens fellow council member. Hope those who voted for him are proud.

Did he really whip out a Top Gun quote in a formal government meeting?

Orgeron said the only way the board could get attention was to take the steps they took, utilizing the idiom of breaking eggs to make a omelette.

At that point, Orgeron addressed a member of the audience. "Your egos are writing checks your butts can't cash," he said.

"That's enough!" could be heard from the crowd.

"You can sit yourself down," Orgeron countered.

"You do not talk to the voters that way," came from the audience.

"I just did. I just did," Orgeron followed.

Chair Dempsey Lambert tried to interject with his gavel, but the exchanges continued.

"This is three months I've been dealing with this garbage," Orgeron said at one point.

Moments later Orgeron and Robert, who were sitting near each other, began to argue after Robert banged on the table and said "shut up." After officers intervened, the board left their seats and went to recess.

Earlier in the meeting, Robert said he disagreed with the decision to hire Roux.

"I feel like this is just a waste of time," Robert said. "It's accomplishing nothing. It's a little bit of a dog and pony show, if I may."

I live in his district. The recall effort has been underway for a few months now and Orgeron, being the fatass loudmouth crybaby slob that he is, can’t take all the ridicule he’s getting on social media. What a joke…

That video was ridiculous. Anyone else would have the decency to resign.

When padnuhs and good ole boys get elected, that’s the shite that goes on. The ego on this one is strong! When you are THAT defensive, you got something to hide. That should be all the voters need to effect a recall. I just wish voters would put in as much time/effort vetting a candidate prior to pushing the vote button, as they do recall efforts.

In a moment of frustration, an Ascension Parish elected official told a colleague to "wipe (his) face" after suggesting he'd knelt before the parish president.

When asked about his provocative word choice, however, Councilman Corey Orgeron denied alluding to oral sex.


quote:

Corey is a believer in our American way of life and in our constitution. He stands by the assertion that “all men are created equal” and defends everyone’s right to free expression and the freedoms asserted in the Bill of Rights. No one person is above any other; this is especially true with respect to elected officials. At some point over the last 200 years our elected officials have forgotten that they work for US, that it is their duty to serve the public and not the other way around.

like telling citizens at a public meeting they are stupid and to sit down?
