Give me a power grab or F you thing they have done.

Example: Read in the paper today a family that owns trailer parks and then gets the city to deny a permit for a trailer park near their house

The concrete plant owner Cody Docheff and his family keep messing with me in my muffler shop. One day I will show them.

One guy in my golf group has big time "F-YOU" money but no clue where he ranks in Mandeville or all of St Tammany. He's got to be up there though.

Family that owns a general contractor business that gets about 15% of all of McDonald’s new construction and remodel contracts in the US. They also do lots of other restaurant builds. If you drove by their office or if you are around them personally, you would never know their business does multiple 100’s of millions of $$ per year in work. Very humble and generous folks.

Lots of people have F-you money in Mandeville. Few wield any power at all though.

Live in KC. Know members of families that started Hallmark and H&R Block. They aren't hurting for money.

Ezekiel Beauregard and his sons Finch and Hastings have instituted a virtual reign of genteel orderly peace in these parts. Not like these Thompson's colts and other ne'er do wells that rule the big cities. I suppose I am quite pleased with their wise leadership, specially whereabouts it has to do with tariffs concernin' local commerce and the organization of proper garden parties.

In Midland theres too many folks with F-You money to really have any one dominate, but there’s plenty of collusion to keep those families making more money.

In wichita, the Koch family. They do wield some political presence in the city (basically paid for our mayor that recently took office) but overall they invest a lot into the city and are, I would say, a net positive to the community.

Also the Stevens family (own Genesis Health Clubs, Spangles restraints, and a bunch of other odd restraints/businesses). They’re kinda scummy though. Have a reputation for some local storefronts having “random” fires happen when they’re no longer profitable. Also have had some run ins with local law enforcement and it always just magically disappears.
