Overall St Tammany under Montgomery has a pretty good office as opposed to the previous DA in Walter Reed.


Reed’s “proclivities” aside, what makes you say this. Quite frankly, this is not what I hear.

Part of it is the anti tax sentiment that pervades thinking in the Parish


Yet other tax proposals pass. Such is life with (generally speaking), well informed voters.

There is a large number of newcomers from the South Shore....mostly from the West Bank who don't believe in paying for the services that they get or more accurately don't realize how the population growth that they are a part of directly impacts the services that made St. Tammany so attractive in the first place

You have no idea of how corrupt Reed actually was. There was a case wherein he covered for his step son in a negligent manslaughter charge due to a late night boating accident on the Tchefuncte 20+ years ago. He and his people were using campaign funds and actual DA funds for their Thursday night dinners at Sal and Judy's. If you were part of his inner circle you could get away with just about anything. There are cases where he was railroading defendants in prosecution by actually threatening the defense attorneys with jail because they would demand discovery. He covered for a cokehead parish attorney for years as the guy stole money.

Then he strongarmed St.Tammany Hospital to give his slap dick brother a job that he never showed up for. I could talk about his other " proclivities" as well.

I don't know Montgomery. But I know Reed and I know that Reeds office did not have to ask for the money and the council never worried about what he was doing with the money either.
