Remember Kenny Matassa?

Cleo fields was on tape accepting a bribe and got off.


In court, after seeing the video, he said "That's not me."

If you don’t admit to shite, they must acquit.

Is that the kid in the wheelchair from Backyard Baseball?

I’ve heard he’s not running again. He was only pushed to run last time as a spoiler candidate to keep Cointmont out of the runoff, but instead kept the establishment backed candidate out. The Donaldsonville Democrat Machine then went full-tilt behind him and he managed to win by a couple dozen votes. If he were running again, Cointmont likely would beat him by 15-20 points. They’ll find someone less damaged to oppose Clint. I’ve even heard rumors of people lobbying for Martinez to run again. They’re desperate.

A good example as to why Ascension Parish is pretty much following the BR model for how to frick up what could have been a good thing. Development out of control, family connections decide land usage and re-zoning, traffic is a nightmare, etc. The good old boys paired with zero vision or planning.

You mean the guy everyone voted for even though he actively said he was going to build shite DSLD neighborhoods with reckless abandon and frick the law? Yeah i remember that a-hole!

That DSLD money is starting to run deep here throughout St. Tammany. Areas of the parish with $400k+ homes not getting surrounded by these shitty shacks.

Cleo was trying to convince the judge that they all look alike to the jurors

I stood by him a Ruffinos a while back. The guy must’ve be 5’2”. Never trust a man that small.

I’d argue the good ole boys are much worse in AP, LP, and other surrounding parishes than it is in Baton Rouge. Now granted BR has other issues with the mayor and metro council but the good ole boy network is much more ingrained in the small towns surrounding it
