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.
