I was young and naive enough to think we had turned a corner.

$5 Nutria bounty was the shite.

Harry Lee said whatever he wanted. And got away with it.

‘If a black person is in a white neighborhood, my deputies will question them’

Imagine a sheriff of a huge parish saying that at a press conference today.

He had zero tolerance for crime and Jefferson Parish benefited from it.

Met Mike Foster once in Grand Isle. Really cool guy, had a camp and loved it down there.

It’s still amazing to me how shitty our leaders are now. Maybe they always were, and they just don’t hide it anymore.

Foster was old school down on the bayou Franklin parish corrupt. He also ran on a platform opposing gambling, then switch up and even supported bailing out Harrah's. Funny how many Republicans cite him as a favorite when he was just a Democrat in sheep's clothing.

There was no better feeling than riding down the highway on your motorcycle with your hair blowing in the breeze and a few nutria strapped to the back headed to pick up that bounty and buy a carton of reds.

Harry Lee also protected a dozen Chinese prostitution massage parlors in Fat City. Kind of a mixed bag.

He famously said, "why would I want to be governor when I can be king?" Lee endorsed Mike Foster, a Republican who came from behind in the polls to win the governorship and to serve two terms.

The late Harry Lee, who was sheriff of Jefferson Parish for 28 years, called his job “the closest thing there is to being a king in the U.S."

The Causeway wanted to make Jefferson Parish officers crossing the bridge pay the toll.

Lee told them no. You will not force my officers to pay that toll.

The Causeway said "If your officers do not pay the toll, the Causeway Police will pull them over."

Lee responded "if any Causeway cop pulls over one of my officers, I'll have them arrested for impersonating a police officer."

Harry was basically an unknown when he first ran.
My Dad and had a group (Delta for concerned citizens). The first to endorse him, he never forgot that.

When people in Shrewsbury in Metairie complained about profiling he said “No problem we will no longer patrol there)

He supported his Sister

CSB - incoming
Mike Foster caught me smoking pot at his house.
Years ago I worked for a company that put down the surface in playgrounds at Mc Donald’s and such.
Mike Foster wanted it by his pool. Me and my co worker were ducked out behind his pool house smoking a dubbie. Mike came around the corner.
Told us to not smoke that crap at his house. Gave us a 100$ bill.
True story.
