That's is a polite way of telling you they don't want anymore white crackers from East Baton Rouge Parish moving in.

Why isn't Nakamoto or Greg Meriweather on this?
Nakamoto was all over this shite today on WBRZ news at 6. Hell he went over to Matassa's office looking for him, but the parish spokesperson said he had just left. Nakamoto then asked him why Kenny's car was still in the parking lot?

I almost fell off the treadmill when I heard that

What kind of car was it? A Pinto?
And what kind of job does this guy have?
What are the chances he will be indicted?

Who takes over if Matassa is forced out? Or will there be a special election?
From the comments:
When Kenny is asked to resign the Second in Command for our Parish is Ken Dawson who was caught taking Bribes as West Feleciana Parish President but Pleaded no contest! How he was hired with our Local Officials Knowing This is another story!
So we're screwed either way!

So that's a reason not to charge the current guy? Makes sense.

Folks:
While listening to the 11 "tape clips," bear in mind LA R.S. 18:1461.5 entitled: "Election offenses involving bribery, threats or intimidation of election officials or candidates; penalties
A. No person shall knowingly, willfully, or intentionally:
(4)(a) Give or offer to give, directly or indirectly, any money or any thing of apparent present or prospective value to a candidate for public office for the purpose of securing the candidate’s withdrawal from an election.
B. Whoever violates any provision of this Section shall be fined not more than two thousand dollars or be imprisoned, with or without hard labor, for not more than two years, or both, for the first offense.”
Sure looks like crimes were committed to me. How about you?

Ascension Parish deserves better than what we are getting. Black eyes are not what Ascension Parish needs. We have many good employees in parish government, but we can also now see that many are employed simply for a political payback. This must stop. Even before this shameful behavior was brought to light, several on the council were pushing to develop hiring protocols, job descriptions, qualification standards and best practices. Our parish must be run like a company, not a banana republic.
Action will speak louder than words.

I am hearing this and it sounds far fetched. Someone in the Matassa family close to Kelly broke into a significant other's house and dismembered a dog in the kitchen. Kenny allegedly paid someone so this relative would not get prosecuted. Any one hear anything remotely close to this?

So the dog story is true. I heard that Kenny paid someone so this would not be fully prosecuted.

Parish is sitting on a $31 million dollar surplus. Do we really need a tax increase?

Well his son was working at a plant last year before the explosion. So apparently he didn't do any jail time.

Perfectly fine with that. I'm opposed to a tax increase when we have a surplus. Not to mention how much is being squandered away on pork projects. My property taxes increased over 300% between 2013 and 2014. That was just on my lot. Finished building and my house went on the tax rolls 1/1/16. My property taxes this year, after exemption, will be $4,200....
Posted on 8/1/16 at 8:34 pm to Taxing Tiger
I'm not opposed just because how much needs to be done. Now with the new High School set to be coming up those roads will need to be redone as well. That surplus can turn around quickly if they actually fix the things that need to be fixed.

Clint wasn't that much better of a choice. His father Willard is old Ascension just like Kenny. Clint was propped up by the same old guard. You probably wouldn't have the open corruption like this, but things wouldn't have been much different inote terms of how things got done.
