A commission created to support Leeville got off to a rocky start Tuesday with the resignation of one of its founding members.
The Leeville Fishing Village and Cultural Preservation Commission met for the first time since being approved by the Legislature in 2013.
The commission was created to give local residents a direct hand in promoting tourism and overseeing historic conservation efforts while being able to apply for money directly from the state.
After electing Don Griffin as chairman of the commission, Bob Gourgues as vice chairman and Janet Rhodus as secretary, the meeting took a personal turn.
After Gourgues and members of the public criticized Rhodus and questioned her motives in Leeville, she resigned from the commission and suggested Harris Cheramie take her place.
"This commission would not be existing, you would not be holding this meeting right now if it weren't for me getting it established, and my entire objective was to help Leeville," she said before leaving the meeting.
As the founder of Launch Leeville, Rhodus has pushed for building the Leeville Boat Launch, organized the Leeville Arts and Heritage Festival and helped create the commission itself.
Rhodus, who lives in Baton Rouge but has owned property in Lafourche since 1991, has also been a fierce, frequent and public critic of the Lafourche Parish administration and members of the Lafourche Parish Council at events and through the Launch Leeville Facebook page.

*Paging maisweh 
I saw this on BCKFC page this morning. So they're pissed A) because she's not a local? And B) because her push for the launch hurt some of the local launches/businesses revenue?

UPVOTES FOR EVERYONE! 
As a local i'll say this, shes not a local.
im going with both a and b
but really, it would be like if I tried to get onto a council in baton rouge. she can do all she wants for leeville, but shes not a local and shouldn't be on a council
overall great day for leeville.

Didn't realize you were local, so is the general census that she has something to gain by making Leeville better?
From an outsider like myself it seems her intentions were good but I'd assume there's always been some underlying tension there all along. I always just figured she was wanting to clean up Leeville and make it a bit more appealing.
Saw this on the LL FB page and was wondering wtf was the origin, guess I know now.

lets just say ive HEARD that she may or may not have something to gain by it, real estate or something? not sure how true it is.
locals don't like outsiders, same as grand isle. im banned from the page so I cant see it
I mean why would someone from two hours away, who is a realtor I think, want to do all this for a fishing community with a shipyard? Just fishy to me...

You can't be serious?

She has been a land owner and tax payer in Leeville for 24 years but because it isn't her primary residence she shouldn't be on the council? How long do you have to be part of that community to be accepted if 24 years isn't acceptable? Sounds like if I am ever interested in purchasing a fishing camp, Leeville is not the place I'd want to be. There has to be something else going on down there with her that isn't being publicized because right now it sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

like someone else said, there seems to be something else going on.
you must not have been to grand isle lately, with the mayor telling camp owners who don't live on the island to get out of meetings
or the guy who built a camp next to the bar and gets pissed that its loud at night.

I don't see the point in looking for excuses. There is no logical reason to think that the most obvious answer is not the correct answer.

a lot of people are pissed that bobby lynns sold out and that this woman has been giving away a bunch of fishing spots?

probably so.
but the Harvey gulf shipyard and other oil companies beg to differ.

Do you honestly believe the shipyard or any of the oil companies give a shite about a couple of trailer parks? They wouldn't care if Leevill was nothing but a gravel road littered with trash.

that's what I meant, he said wash away, but the oil companies is what is keeping the land there. didn't mean it as keeping housing.

Leeville has the potential to be something great. It's the attitude of the people that live there that keep it in a perpetual state of disrepair.
Residents are preventing Leeville from becoming anything other than a gas station at the foot of a bridge that leads to a better place.

because they don't want outsiders there, they're happy with the way things are. it may look like a dump to some of you, but they like it. oil and gas rule the area, not fishing. the people who stay at Boudreaux and bobby lynns are usually going on charter trips.
I can tell you this, a main reason for disdain for outsiders is the attitude most of them carry of the "we're better than this shithole" or "fishing money keeps this place alive, you should worship me" People will still go with or without her on their council
