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.

Not everyone liked Harry Lee. I read a funny story just yesterday.

quote:

Harry Lee, the self-proclaimed “300-pound Chinaman” who brooked no opposition as the sheriff of Jefferson Parish for decades, was an early target for Gill.

Lee was so miffed at Gill’s handiwork that he once sent him a photograph of horse manure with a note that read, “This is a classic example of a James Gill column.”

“No,” Gill replied as he referenced the sheriff’s family-owned restaurant. “It’s a classic dish from the House of Lee.”


Lee was a good man who absolutely had the best of intentions at heart.

Jeff Parish Mardi Gras parades still have a truck in them at the beginning with a huge "head" of Lee.

And Foster was the best governor this state has had in many many years.
