That was a shite show and no way I would hire that bumbling idiot.
My fear is someone high enough on the ladder will buy or be bought into believing the loan theory.

He was from Darrow and went to school in Donaldsonville. He was groomed by the D-Ville machine politicians.

Their defense is literally: "He was just advising his friend Lawson, telling him that he wouldn't win, and that this was a bad time to be running due to Lawson's financial issues and employment issues. So, hey, Matassa gave him that money just to help out a friend and told him that he should withdraw from the race against the incombent whom Matassa backs, BUT THAT'S NOT A BRIBE!" The attorney just admitted it was Matassa on the tapes! Total clowns.


Incredible. No mention of a loan or lending or even terms of paying back said loan.

Olin Berthelot makes the official deadline for Lawson to withdraw very clear.

Matassa is inexplicably present at the "loan" and on tape, confirmed by his own attorney, saying "Money talks and everything else walks."

Lawson is given an affidavit at the time of the "loan" asking him to drop out of the race.

I will bet the other 10 loans that they gave him had a signed paper trail

Matassa's attorney had that stat loaded and ready to go.

Olin runs a business that gives out loans, but what is Matassa's connection or reason being there? Not mention the affidavit and making it clear to Lawson that this had to be done before the race withdrawal deadline.

Olin Berthelot has probably loaned this guy money before through his Bayou Finance company, so they will have a paper trail on that to fall back on. Trust me there are ALOT of shady deals going down at Bayou Finance

I hope so.

If you filmed this as a reality TV show viewers would say it is staged because there is no way people can be this over the top and stupid in real life.

Wait, so a guy who grew up 15 miles from St. Amant and took the ferry every day to school across the river in Donaldsonville is somehow a St. Amant product?

He might have grown up there, but spent all his adult life entrenched in the St. Amant area as did his siblings.

Quit trying to sidetrack this discussion because I made a slight on St. Amant. Sorry I hurt your feelings. Point is, AP residents put idiots in office.

Then why did St. Amant not vote for either of his endorsed successors this go around? The St. Amant people may like him personally, but they haven't been his base of support, Donaldsonville has.

Yes it is. Chase Melancon is my cousin and he is on this like flies on shite.

For some odd reason I get a kick out of this. 12 more years and I'm out of here - retired and someplace nice.
