Congratulations AG Foti?
Hmm, do we thank AG Foti for doing his job or wonder if there was another reason for his decision? I have thought for awhile on this perplexity. One wonders with the Landreau - Foti ties, that the "decision" of the AG was geared more by politics than law. Mitch's slate was cleaned in the New Orleans Mayor's race, the traditional Landreau political base. Mary, it seems will be in a real political battle for her office, hence her recent attempted retreat into conservatism. Charlie's (Foti) recent identification by James Carville as unable to spell "law" even if "he was given the L and the A". Could this all add up to an all out attack on Louisiana old line politicians? Perhaps Foti's decision was based more on a "heads down" mentality rather than law. I think I will name this the Shhh affect -- political camoflage. Why ring the doorbell and let people know your at the door when you can just walk in without drawing attention to yourself? My opinion: AG Foti's decision was based on not stirring up the population for the upcoming election cycle rather than upholding the law. The question at this point is his office. Will Louisianians consider him non commital or ineffectual? Either way he loses.

Not many settle a $100,000 claim for $7,000 though, unless they file the lawsuit too late.
Greg travels under so many different names on this blog site you would think he would be unrecognizable. However, his venom and hatred always give him away. A lawyer with his alledged credentials having to operate out of his brother's plumbing shop. Now that is real professional. He is constantly sucking up to those he thinks can do him good. He will not understand nobody will touch him.
He is insignificant and is merly a bump on a mules ass.
I especially like his bad ass statement about signing his e-mails. Sure, right
You are going to attach a negative characterization to Foti, regardless of what he does. Treating a democrat with fairness and objectivity never occurred to you. Foti did exactly what you wanted and you are still complaining and condemning him. If you are looking for an attorney general who is a political hack, a liar, and a totally ineffective administrator, you need look no further than your own beloved Alberto.
I agree that Foti failed to do his job. Defining the term "citizen" WAS a question of law, not of fact. The facts come in on Breaux's domicile or residence, but not his citizenship.
Foti is too much a political fence sitter, and too little of an Attorney General. I do not plan to vote for his reelection.
Interesting story... a fellow has his car stolen near Sam's. Calls the Alexandria police and gives report. Gets his wife's car and starts checking known drug dealing neighborhoods in town. At second location sees his car at end of street. Calls police. Before they get there the crooks start to drive off. He blocks street, they try to maneuver around him but jump out of car and run off. He's lucky they didn't shoot him but he gets his car back. Police finally arrive. Now, a couple of blocks over from this action on Elliott street two of Alexandria's finest are hiding in the bushes and popping out with a hand held radar gun giving tickets and acting like Nazi's to the people being pulled over. No wonder people are moving out of town and not moving back! The whole police force from the top down needs to be fired and start over.
Greg, I respect your opinion on Foti and considering your enormous following, Foti will have to find some avenue to make up for his loss of the fat KKK vote.
"Aymond has screamed foul before and his "investigations" have turned up nada."
Gee....for someone who is just screaming foul, he sure has YOUR attention!!!
Middle of the night post???? Can't sleep????
I wonder why you spend your insomniac hours spewing off about Aymond????
Did Greggie hit a nerve? Hmmmmmmmm
To this pinhead: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 9:08:00 AM
So you would have us believe that because someone posts at an odd hour that his observations aren't credible?
By the same token I could say that you posted at 9:08 so you are either stealing time from your employer by posting during business hours, or, you don't have a job because you're a stupid loser and therefore your opinion doesn't mean squat.
Nice try at a smoke screen Greggy, you're still a loser.
why dont you people that dont like greg create your own blog. i am sick of the juvenile and obsessivness you all have with him. you trolls just wait for him to post and then pounce. i really believe that you all could use some counseling and meds.
Don't need medication. Just enjoy harrassing a loser pretending to be a winner that continues to harass others after he has lost fair and square to them. If anyone needs medication it is attorney/plumber Greg.
Wonder if this blog site is on Mountain time? It is 2 hours behind.
And the sick sucker Greg still sucks.
So they just announced Bernard Wesley is the new interim fire chief? Anyone know anything about him?
"To this pinhead: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 9:08:00 AM

Getting nervous, are we???
hehehehehehehehe....
I love it!
is chris roy jr. running for state rep?
There is a game the cretins play in the Middle East. Mounted horsemen carry a bloated goat carcass up and down a huge field trying to toss the carcass into a painted ring. The game is brutal. There are no rules. There is no limit to the number of horsemen and no teams. Every man for himself. The man with the carcass and the carcass itself are the target for all the other horseman. The goat carcass is replaced when it either rots away, or is torn to shreds by the horsemen.
Greg Aymond reminds me of the goat carcass.
Considering the lies Aymond has told about the people in this community, considering the lies he has told right here on this blog!
He deserves to be treated like the goat carcass.
- - is chris roy jr. running for state rep? - -
That is the rumor. The reality may be the same that Breaux faced. If he runs and does poorly, then he's branded a loser.
It also might send an early signal of his brothers demise, creating a feeding frenzy (especially with the utility bills anger). Big risk! Kinda like Pres. Bush 1 said yesterday about Jeb Bush and "Bush fatigue." Roy fatigue might set in before the next mayoral election.
I think his brother's supporters think they have some kinda voter base. They need to look at the reality of who they ran against for mayor, not by how much they won.
Also, Jindal will have BIG coat tails in Oct.
At least Chris Roy Jr. has worked for a living, albeit as an ambulance chaser. That's more than can be said for little Lance.
Every time I read this blog I get "anonymous fatigue".
Breaux and Chris Jr. have one thing in common, the Republican party is scared of them both. Chris Jr. would be very tough to beat. He's honest, likeable and a very good campaigner. He's Maxwell's Waterloo, plain and simple.
do lance or chris, jr. have a position paper on waterslides?
7:26 You sound like his campaign manager. Already on the campaign trail...are we???
Whoa, Chris & Lamar.
Nobody mentioned Maxwell until you did. I was just referencing the data.
Major Republican district, which only has a part within the city. Bo Curtis' district is where most of the demo vote is. Jindal will run strong and could provide any repub with 4-5% points. There is already a dem. in the race, whose been working the district. And a lot of the country white folk don't care for Alex. politics (and they vote). Notice how both the sitting sen. and rep. come from Lecompte & Woodworth, not Alexandria?
Sorry that offended you, but your running against data, not just a person. That's what I meant about Breaux. He knew the data was against him, with the NO vote gone, he was in for a fight. So are you. But jump in there buddy. We'll all see.
And your brother appointing a black fire chief sure ain't gonna help you much either.
Interim Fire Chief.
Remind me again-- Is Charlie Dewitt a Republican or Democrat? Did Jacques Roy carry the conservative parts of town or did Delores Brewer? Your analysis is flawed and racist. The seat is up for grabs, and as long as you and your conservative friends pander to your racist base, you're going to keep the seat wide open.
you don't know the reality of La politics.
racism is the reason Jindal is not the sitting gov. remember the district includes forest hill, hineston, oak hill, woodworth, glenmora, parts of vernon parish. not exactly the most "liberal" areas, if you will.
and as far as dewitt being a dem, why do you think they want someone else in the race, they know beard (dem) aint gonna get it done. they have some mistaken idea that the roy family is viewed as conservative (lol). we all know better.
but thats what elections are all about. a bunch of folks think they are more imporatnt than they really are. i mean c'mon jacques was the 4th choice as mayor candidate, and still whipped Brewer? that aint the case in this race.
what kind of racket will there be if roy jr. gets elected? do you think edwwin will run from the state pen? just joking about the edwards thing but seriously, if you think that the roy boys are in it for he good of the state then think again. these people eat, sleep, and breath politics. this is their career, appointed by their ambitious father. they have been indoctrinated by the dem machine. public servants... i think not. career politicians.........ABSOLUTELY!
Bottom line....Roy Jr. is too late. Maxwell has locked up every police juror and school board member including two of the district's mayors. His campaign manager (Jimbo) is related to a third of the district and his treasurer is the freakin school board president. His chairman is a popular rural democrat and his treasurer is a popular urban republican. Now that is a team. Plus, what a risk....this could end up bringing both the Roy boys down. If I was the mayor I would be doing everything that I could to keep my brother out of that race.
Give Maxwell credit for one thing. At least he is the only District 25 candidate (announced or rumored) who has not cheated on his wife.
I think the race is ripe for someone in the middle ground, not OLD time politics or NEW unproven representation
"Give Maxwell credit for one thing. At least he is the only District 25 candidate (announced or rumored) who has not cheated on his wife."
Lance? Is that you, buddy????
;)
I think the race is ripe for someone in the middle ground, not OLD time politics or NEW unproven representation
"I think the race is ripe for someone in the middle ground, not OLD time politics or NEW unproven representation "
Well, that pretty much means the seat will become vacant.
Don't you just love how Monica Walker used her poor mother as her flimsy excuse to bow out of her seat? I think everyone laughed out loud at that one.
"Don't you just love how Monica Walker used her poor mother as her flimsy excuse to bow out of her seat?"
So, what WAS the real reason if it wasn't her mother's health?
she had an affair with someone & got caught
"she had an affair with someone"
Damn........She is HOT to.
She didn't just have an affair. According to her lover's wife, she also broke up the marriage.
How does that saying go?! "great minds talk about ideas, average minds talk about events, small minds talk about people."
It's not hard to figure out what group you trolls fall in.
i met the nicest elderly lady at lunch today...
sorry DLC,
i don't want to fit into that 3rd category.
There are a number of possible explanations why Lance Maxwell hasn't run around on his wife, starting with the fact that he doesn't have a wife or girlfriend. See where that leads you.
don't sweat it. i am sure you fell into that category along time ago.
takes one to know one!!!
GO HILARY '08!!!
"There are a number of possible explanations why Lance Maxwell hasn't run around on his wife, starting with the fact that he doesn't have a wife or girlfriend. See where that leads you."
Doesn't he also stil live with his parents?
No, Lance does not still live at home. Yes, he does have a beautiful, intelligent and very sweet girlfriend. Lance is a competent, reliable, well-educated successful guy. Of course some of you "low bellied" dems would try to slime him.
How many times did it take Lance to pass the Bar examine?
You people make me sick, stop the personal attacks on unsuspecting people now! Find out what you really want good government or good gossip. I come back to visit for 2 weeks and find this s__t. Shut the hell up and talk about something worth my time. Have you ever read a REAL blog?
Does he live with his girlfriend?
I agree with you. I mean a real blog would have at least mentioned the current budget stall.
I agree with you. Not one mention about the current budget stall. Where is the real news blog around here?
"You people make me sick, stop the personal attacks on unsuspecting people now! Find out what you really want good government or good gossip. I come back to visit for 2 weeks and find this s__t. Shut the hell up and talk about something worth my time. Have you ever read a REAL blog?"
AMEN! you're just witnessing the roy's model of electioneering. however, that don't play well outside alexandria.
I seem to have struck a nerve with the Lance supporters; however I didn't get an answer on how many times it took Lance to pass the bar examine. Also it appears that Lance shot the first arrow in the mud slingfest.
"Also it appears that Lance shot the first arrow in the mud slingfest."
Really what arrow would that be?
Roy hired Lamar to stop the real blog about Alexandria. This is all that is left
"At least Chris Roy Jr. has worked for a living, albeit as an ambulance chaser. That's more than can be said for little Lance.
Tuesday, April 24, 2007 6:55:00 PM"
this appears to be the first arrow. pretty sure maxwell didn't fire it. looks like a roy did it, while hiding behind beards name.
roy folks are slimy, liars and cowards.
Check out the post april 25th 7:36 Am, it has Lance's name all over it. It's often said if want something so bad that you are willing do anything to get it, you seldom obtain it.
Forget Beard and Roy. What really counts is the truth about Lance: his education, his work experience and work ethic, his accomplishment(s), his complete dependence and reliance on his parent's money and Pentacostal influence to get and hold positions, his professional legal accomplishments, etc.
Maxwell has not lived at home since he was in college. He bought Judge Johnson's condo last year. His girlfriend is a great girl and yes........he passed every section of the bar the first time he took it.
So Roy cheating on his wife, is comparable to Lance having a girlfriend, his job history, where he lives, and him taking the bar exams twice?
Boy have you got a lot to learn about morals and arrow slinging.
BTW, Jr. how many times did you take the bar?
Let's get into some real mudslinging. Political philosophies:
ROY, Chris Jr
Alexandria, LA 71303
Self employed/OCCUPATION
JOHN KERRY FOR PRESIDENT INC $250
Roy, Chris J Jr
Alexandria, LA 71303
Self employed/Attorney
EDWARDS FOR PRESIDENT $500
Now that'll go over real well in his district.
Sounds like you Lance supporters can't get your spin straight. Did Lance pass the examine the first time or second time or what is it?
Look guys. This dude sounds like a professional hitman. Forget it. Can't you smell bait when it's thrown at you? We all know Lance avoids these blogs like the plague. We all know Lance would never blog a statement like that, so move on. Believe, this dude is a hired hand.
"he passed every section of the bar the first time he took it."
BULL*&^T - he took it 4 times. His Dad has had to force people to hire him. Both sons are spoiled brats who - if they got what they deserved would be in the serving line at the Manna House.
Now aren't we a nice person. You are full of crap!
"BULL*&^T - he took it 4 times. His Dad has had to force people to hire him. Both sons are spoiled brats who - if they got what they deserved would be in the serving line at the Manna House."
Right! Instead, they're both successful, skilled lawyers, and one of them is the mayor of Alexandria who won the election by a landslide. Chris, Sr didn't force the people of Alexandria to vote for Jacques Roy, you idiot. They voted for him b/c he was the best candidate, and Chris'll make a good candidate as well. In fact, it'd probably be great for our entire region, two progressively-minded brothers working for their hometown.
"His Dad has had to force people to hire him."
LOL, what is his dad some mafia hitman?
And do you really want to bring dads in with Srs ties to convict #7382910 Edwin W Edwards?
Sounds like you're a little jealous ro. maxwell cut in line before you?
the maxwells vs the roys. kinda like the hatfileds vs the mccoys. the hatfields are part of the up and coming republican clan, while the roys are part of the ole fading democratic clan. should be an interesting few years. my money is on the republican clan in any race outside the heavily democratic city vote.
So his dad FORCED a U.S. Senator to hire his son? I guess this would clearly make Maxwell the best choice for State Rep. His dad would be able to MAKE Vitter bring federal money into District 25 so that his son could look great! Wow...some of you beard and roy supporters must be desperate. I hope ya'll realize that the more you talk about him the more ya'll make him look like the guy to beat.
Naw, ain't gonna be no race. Who would run the law office?
When it comes right down to it, Now that little Roy is mayor, Jr. ain't gonna give up the practice for 3-4 months each year.
All dems think like Breaux. reps job just don't pay enuff, and with term limits, there's no future in it.
I really don't think Chris has anything to worry about a nutty "lawyer" kid who speaks in tongues every Sunday. Who is going to take the child seriously? If Lil' Lance is the Republican's best chance, they've got a lot more to worry about.
I heard Greg Aymond was going to run for Rick Farrar's house seat.
"one of them is the mayor of Alexandria who won the election by a landslide"
That's the kind of thinking that will get his brother beat. He was the lone democrat in the run-off, in a majority black city, with an overwhelmingly democrtic registration. And the lone republican made the run-off by 17 votes.
Did you really think it was going to be a tight race?
Those same numbers are completely reversed in the house district.
"I really don't think Chris has anything to worry about a nutty "lawyer" kid who speaks in tongues every Sunday"
Shows you what an idiot you are. Maxwell and Jrs brother are at church together most sun. mornings. Now aren't you embarrassed?
Bullshit, the numbers aren't reversed. I doubt working-class farmers are going to vote for a candidate who is in bed with big oil and whose boss is a complete and total disgrace to our state. Lance, you are going to answer a lot of questions.
not embarrased. the difference between JR and LM is that LM actually believes in their vitriolic BS, and JR's there b/c he believes in including everyone in the discussion. Little Lance is just another one of those morally-conflicted Pentecostals who tries to buy into their bizarre rituals.
"I really don't think Chris has anything to worry about a nutty "lawyer" kid who speaks in tongues every Sunday"
Really???? It didn't seem to hurt Judge Starling or Judge Davidson. They both go to that church and they both won. Plus, the mayor has not missed a Sunday at his church in six months. Seems like the mayor realizes what a good chuch it is. Keep talking roy and beard supporters.
Aren't the Roy's Catholic? and Isn't Judge Davidson Catholic as well? Pentecoots may have a lot of nutcases who go there. Don't they have a section of their church called Crack Alley?
Lord Jesus, please heal me from crack by making me talk in gibberish gobblydeegook.
Beard and Roy, Jr. speak in tongues. The just don't do it at church. They do it with girlfriends behind their wives backs.
yeah, that's the way to win elections. lets start by offending 3,000 pentacostals, not including another 1,000 or so in the district that attend the smaller community churches. Jr doesnt need help from you. i think ill call the mayor in the morning and tell him to read on here what his brothers supporters are saying about his planned campaign. what a complete and total moron you are. dont you have school tomorrow?
"dont you have school tomorrow?"
rotflmao!!!
"And the lone republican made the run-off by 17 votes"
Exactly. Delores Brewer was so weak that she only got about 24% and barely made the run-off. Proving my point for me.
"Proving my point for me."
what? that if johnson had 18 more votes, he'd be the mayor now?
"Beard and Roy, Jr. speak in tongues. The just don't do it at church. They do it with girlfriends behind their wives backs."
And who does Lil' Lancelito speak in tongues with? His "girl" friend?
dude are you gay?
you're offended because lance has a "girl" friend?
Not necessarily. As much as you whities vote for your white candidate, black people don't have any problem voting for a white person... I guess you're going to try argue that Jindal is "black," which would only prove your ignorance.
I'm offended. I thought Lancelito and I had something.
All I know is I am going to be voting for Bridget Brown!
she is running i heard
Why is the traffic in Alexandria so horrible lately?
Not sure. I will be interested in seeing the new census data in 2010. I think it will show that Rapides Parish has grown tremendously. Alexandria continues to shrink, but the parish as a whole is growing.
I heard Greg Aymond was going to run for Rick Farrar's house seat.
You heard wrong. I have absolutely no desire to run for a political office. I am unable to kiss enough ass to be in politics.
"I heard Greg Aymond was going to run for Rick Farrar's house seat."
That will be an open seat in 2009 when Clinton appoints Farrar to a Federal Judgship!
Have any of you ever attempted to talk to Lance about any substantive issues of law or government or public interest? That is how you should reach your decision. Does he understand the job and the problems and issues of the consituents and does he have any REAL (non-bullshit canned political rhetoric) ideas and solutions and approaches.
All I hear is that Lance is a cute little guy who's daddy bought him a BMW and wants to be a important. Be fair and evaluate Lance on rational grounds.
You're right....let's be fair. Beard has zero education, zero ideas and tons of baggage. Roy has the same education as Lance, the same ideas as Jessie Jackson and was born with a silver spoon in his mouth (and also has baggage). Now that would be a fair comparison.
Can we please move to another topic? If I have to hear six months of this I am going to pull my hair out. All the candidates will have plenty of time for each of us to get to know them. Can we please move on?
I don't think so. Let's factor in Lance's reputaion and accomplishments when he clerked for Judge Ryland. Lance is still a legend among the law clerks for being whiney, prissy, stupid, and above all, absent most of the time.
If you want to know about the 2008 Maxwell, talk to someone who drove one.
Don't know much about Roy execept he went to LsU and not Southern.
Someone commented that Lance left a post on here at 7:36 in the morning, come on... he doesn't get up till 11:00 am.
What is the latest on the Hotel Bentley Sale??
"Don't know much about Roy execept he went to LsU and not Southern."
From his own website roylawoffice.com:
Mr. Roy received his B.S. degree from Louisiana State University and his J.D. degree from Southern University Law Center. He has previously lectured on insurance litigation for the Louisiana Trial Lawyers Association.
That's why nobdy will votr for roy, his supporters "don't know much."
Now please leave the room while the adults talk!
Has anybody else realized that it didn't get nasty on here until the Roy supporters joined the debate.
Doesn't say positice things for Roy's influence.
It will be the same effect as Howard Dean & Ned Lamont. A bunch of snot-nosed punks that nobody will want to vote with.
Have you not realized that this blog is nothing more than a gossip column? Candidates do not post on this blog and do not recommend that their supports do so. The last election has shown that this is merely a mud slinging contest from all sides, and it is given little serious consideration now. It was a good idea gone bad, due to an underestimation of the levels to which people can sink. Very little facts or truth are found here, and most know it.
"Has anybody else realized that it didn't get nasty on here until the Roy supporters joined the debate."
"The last election has shown that this is merely a mud slinging contest from all sides, and it is given little serious consideration now."
I wonder how much of a coincidence this is. Two elections, both with discussions of a Roy candidate, both turned nasty.
As an above anon posted, sure doesn't say much for the Roy family political tactics.
So, I suppose that one can conclude that Maxwell's response to his reputation in the judges' office is "that's an ugly thing to say".
He obviously has the forensic debate skills to represent us skillfully in the legislature.
Is a discussion of a candidate's history, education, skill, character, and reputation "turning nasty"? Certainly Maxwell anticipated this level of public scrutiny when he decided to seek public office. I see where the "whiney" comes in.
Feel free to comment on this mornings budget hearing at www.cenlamedia.blogspot.com - who won today?
Can the Roy people PLEASE STOP!
Just remember the Roy antics on election day!
don't blame the roy's blame young democrats. they are vile. go to any political blog and read some of their hate.
Wonder if Mayor Roy is good friends with Dionne Warwick, as apparently according to the Secretary of State, Boasso has returned to the fold, and will be running as a candidate for the democratic party...HMMMM
Bab's Blog on KLAX web site is stuck in a time warp. Her last posting was March 2nd. Apparently what's news to her is history to everybody else. Pity.
Once again, instead of talking about democrats and roy supporters and all of the other distractive efforts, lets talk about your candidate, Lance. Tell us why someone who was miserably lazy and unproductive in the judge's office will make us a good rep. Lance's inadequacies are not the democrats fault or beards fault. People really look at candidates. You found that out with Delores.
Sounds to me like Scarlet's back in the saddle.
Nothing is as vile as what the Republican machine tried to do against Roy. How quickly you forget the rape commercial!
I just got a call from Beard's push poll. Whoever he is using is very amateurish. A child can figure out who's poll it is. Grandfather Beard you have been retire too long, old style politics may have worked in the past, but time has passed you by. Give it up and go invest in the "Villages".
Only once, he passed it the first time. But as for his on again/off again girlfriend, she is neither beautiful or sweet.
Why didn't one of Beards sons run? Or are they waiting for him to die so ne of them can be appointed to fill his term?
All who know Lance is fully aware of the B.S. being perpetrated on this blog. And it is all so obvious. Lance is a wonderful person who works hard at what he is responsible for. If the hired hand on here thinks they are having any impact on Lance's campaign...........think again. You are a total failure.
Did someone say LANCE MAXWELL HAS A GIRLFRIEND??????? I just knew he was too good to be true. I can't believe this.
Well I can tell you one thing for sure now, Lance Maxwell is a liar, and a good one too. I believed everything he told me.
did anyone see how the new orleans bloggers are attacking we saw that for his ridiculousness? glad the folks here in cenla aren't the only ones who noticed how much of a nut this person is.

And if you had enough reading comprehension to have understood that pst you would have seent at it was not all negative. No mention of this gossip column however.
WST is essentially a rabid dog, full of hatred, suspicion, misinformation, absurd references and self-righteousness. That being said, you must admit that his site is the most technologically sophisticated and user friendly hate sheet on the web.
I noticed that he just appeared on Spanky's blog to question the reason for the pink color which, in his sick mind, must necessarily signify homosexuality or communism (both attributable to exposure to jews). There is no shortage of nuts (see Virginia Tech) but WST is busy looking for converts. He is not satisfied to hate in silence.
Let's compare: Wesawthat, agree or not, contains discussions of topics and issues. Antics contains gossip and personal attacks. I guess different strockes for different folks
You appear to be saying that a rabid dog is better than three rabid dogs. OK
Is a hate monger better than a gossip? I don't think so.
Is there a difference?
i dont think that "we" is just man. i think its a husband and wife team with the wife doing most of the posting. if anyone has read any of my previous posts then they know my feelings on "we". i think they still hit wacky weed and shrooms. that has to be the reason for all the paranoia. and the way i read it oyster is embarassed by alot of what we posts.
Is there a difference?
Yes there is a difference. Apparently, with the number of people that read WST.any would disagree with you that he is a hate mongerer. Many would agree, however, clearly not all.
What do you call all of these attacks on people and their families on here, love? Also, a lot of you apparently visit his blog to be knowing what he writes all of the time !!
And gossip is not hate speach? One of the ten commandments, the one about bearing false witness against thy neighbor directly impeaches gossip. Again, what is the difference?
Gossip is usually not "false witness". It usually some version of the truth Even if the stuff about Lance's work ethic, history, and "luv??" life are gossip, even if entirely true. Gossip does not necessarily contain an element of malice. Come on Spanky! You ain't stupid, even if you are PINK.
who cares!
what about the roy rackett?
is this the beginnings of an eventual takeover by the edwards regime? surely y'all see the key players moving into position.
we finally have the chance to leave the good 'ole boy network in the 20th century and all you wanna talk about is who gossips more or less. that is retarded. WST will never change.
I wish Monica Walker could run for the DeWitt seat. It is my understanding that she is moving into the district. Who cares about her divorce? I think the only people who care are in Avoyelles. Monica is smart and has been a very good legislator. She's much better than the current field of candidates--a kid who's accomplished nothing on his own and an elderly former Chief of Police. Too bad she can't run for this seat. As for CR, Jr., is he in or out? Surely he would be a better choice than Maxwell or Beard.
by better do you mean better for them or better for the state? i personally do not trust the roy family to put the state before that of their family and extended family (the antoons).
these people are born and bred for a career in politics. why can't we elect a public servant?
"i personally do not trust the roy family to put the state before that of their family and extended family (the antoons).
these people are born and bred for a career in politics. why can't we elect a public servant?"
AMEN!
Strange that you should say that. The Roy family has never been in politics (the daddy did some public service by helping draft the state's new constitution) but have always been quite successful in the private sector. Mr. Beard and the Maxwell boys have never backed away from the public trough.
You seem to be facinated by Lance's opposition, real and imagined, but unable to deal with the truth about the Maxwell kid. If one would assume that you are correct about Roy and Beard and other-as-yet-unannounced candidates, that still does not alter the painful truth about little Lance. You would hard pressed to find anyone objective that worked with or around him that would have anything kind to say. Perhaps you should deal with that unfortunate reality before taking on the rest of the world.
You don't know reality, so why should we trust it from you?
Claims that Maxwell lived with his parents, was a Southern grad and Roy wasn't, got a job with Vitter beacuse of his daddy, didn't have a wife or girlfriend, etc. all were complete lies.
Whether that came from you (or other Roy supporters), means you don't know the truth. It appears that you're a jealous, bitter person, and all you hope to do is bring someone down so that you feel better about yourself.
The only truth in that is when you bring that person down to your level, you're both in the gutter!! Makes me want to vote for Mr. Maxwell just to shut you up!!
Wow, I must be in church. Another AMEN from me!
Seems to be a large amount of testification going on here about the Roys and the Antoons.
LANCE MAXWELL HAS A GIRLFRIEND??????? I just knew he was too good to be true. I can't believe this.
Are all of the rest of the libs as low on the TRASH scale as you are? Monica Walker????!!!!! You are really dragging the dreggs now!
Hey Greggy...You posted this on ----> Thursday, April 26, 2007 4:34:00 AM.
But, I bet there was no lack of a serious attempt. Did you use a little tongue Greggy?
Something is fishy with the Arts Council Director leaving. Does anybody know anything out there? Post it here or on www.cenlamedia.blogspot.com let's see how connected the central Louisiana blogosphere is.
Michele, have you phoned any of the involved parties or interviewed any of the board members? You solicit rank rumor and then criticize the poster for not providing 3 confirming sources and a Kodacolar photo.
Now that the 5 mayoral assistants have been approved, what about Ken Juneau's contract? Surely, he won't be needed now that the transition period has passed. Plus, seems like Whittle and White could handle what he was doing.
Ditto on the Juneau contract. Seems like a waste of the taxpayer dollar.
Bullshit Michelle, who are you trying to kid. We all know people who have given you and your station information that you didn't look into and report. Stop trying to be Ed Bradly when we know that other than the weather and sports scores KALB is worthless for news.
And for people who can't buy gas or afford their utility bill who gives a shit about the art council?
Hey Michelle, are ya'll going to investigate what the Roy bunch did to Jodie White? Seems Jodie has been hounded by false accusations of theft, back stabbing by several connected folks and forced to resign. It appears that Roy is going to hire two folks are high salarys to do the work one man did.
Isn't Jodie White related to Lamar White?
"Seems Jodie has been hounded by false accusations of theft, back stabbing by several connected folks and forced to resign."
All be it that White was talking retirement before Roy even took office. My god, the man is so old he is reported to have hand stitched the first baseball west of the Mississippi River.
Could it be that he just retired? Why is everything a "Roy clan" conspiracy?
Jodie is retiring in January. There is no conspiracy. His wife wants him to retire by her birthday, and he wants to spend more time with his grandkids. The man's been single-handedly been doing the work of at least three people.
I'm sorry Michele. You really don't deserve that unprovoked attack from that asshole, however, I do aqree that you want to know what we are hearing at the water cooler and then calling us rumor mongers and character assasins.
y would digest the information and evaluate it as to reliability and importance. If you are looking for a medium where you can print out copy and hand it to someone to read on the air, local blogs are not going to provide that resource. I know that factually, you have gotten leads that Billy Gunn would kill for. But you have to do the final polish
Michelle is starting to seem a little needy. Maybe fair reporting would help get more people to talk to you. Your one sided opinionated misleading stories have scared people. Try just reporting.
Jodie is retiring effective july first. Check it out and check out why.
where do you "check this out?"
Isn't he like 100 years old?
jodie definitely did some shady stuff. ask him who the checks were made out to for all of those travel softball tourneys played at the new complex.
I live not far from Mr. White and if he has ill-gotten gains, he sure does hide it well as he lives very modestly and not that I am above character assasination, but I try to pick more worthy targets. He has the reputation of being extremely helpful and I have seen him past regular duty hours atttending to matters around the park. Take shot if you wish, but don't look so cheap doing it.
I listened to Jacques Roy on KSYL this morning. What a contrast between his clear and precise answers and the ums and uhs and the generalities and feel good non answers from the Pineville Mayor. What a difference. At least when Roy answers you actually understand what he is saying.
I heard Roy this morning also and I heard him say something about a study on city car usage by employees after work. What is Pineville's policy on usage of city cars and gas for their employees? Do they even have one?
I do not think that you can even compare the two. Jacuques has a college degree plus post graduate work and a law degree. His Chief of staff has a Bachlors degree , a degree in education and a law degree. The Pineville administration has "maybe" two 12th grade educations between them. Just read the article in the paper this morning about Roys efforts to request specific funds from the legislature to do real planning and use roads to create economic development with and actual plan. Specific requests, specific plans , specific objectives .Whats the Mayor across the river ask for? HE wants some money so he can get his Fort off the ground!! Thats all!!. No roads, no infrastructure , no plan for economic developement. He wants a park!!! What a brain trust yall have over there! Why not ask for a few thousand dollars more Mayor maybe yall can get you a grass cutter for your wonderful overgrown eyesore of a bike track that was built with taxpayers money. So, its not fair to even compare our two Mayors.
How much money do those worthless council get paid legally?
I think they get 1200 to 1500 plus health insurance and don't forget the $68 worth of snacks each per guy per meeting that is so lavish that it has to be locked and guarded. But they are well worth it. The Bentley wouldn't be open and thriving right now if it weren't for Myron and Harry.
Have you looked at the plans for Fort Randolph/Buelow? Billy Gunn makes it seem like Fields is just asking for renovations when it's actually a lot more than that. If they do what they say they're going to do, this'll put Pineville on the map.
Why not ask for a few thousand dollars more Mayor maybe yall can get you a grass cutter for your wonderful overgrown eyesore of a bike track that was built with taxpayers money.
That track was built when Nathan Martin's brother went into the BMX bike business in Pineville. Nathan was in charge of it. Of course, I am sure all that is just a coincidence. LOL
What is Pineville's policy on usage of city cars and gas for their employees? Do they even have one?
Apparently from photographs taken by a Pineville resident at an Aces games, Pineville's policy is that Rich Dupree can drive his City car to work at the Aces games.
Maybe Mr. Dupree is a first responder like Mr. Despino. I know I feel safer knowing he's there for us.
Maybe Mr. Dupree is a first responder like Mr. Despino.
How many Aces games has Rich stopped announcing to rush off to a Pineville emergency?
Hey wait! Alexandria ACES?? Thats in uh ALEXANDRIA not Pineville. You mean to tell me that the taxpayers are paying for the $3 per gallon gas for a Pineville employee to drive a City of Pineville owned car paid for by the taxpayers after hours and that the taxpayers pay the insurance for so that he can go to ANOTHER job where he is paid not by the City of Pineville? NO WAY!!! There is NO way that Mayor Clarence Fields would allow that. No way!
Perhaps there has beenno national crises worthy of Dupree's attention. We don't call Rich out for any little crises. No, I think the Chernobyl problem was the last time we had to call out the really big guns. Thank you Rich. Thank you from all of us.
Clarence
Can anyone explain why City of Alexandria employees were cutting the grass on the neutral grounds along Albert Street Saturday? Most of the residents along that street keep their properties in very good condtion. Was this a ploy to let some city employees earn some overtime?
How would you feel if those same Alexandria Grasscutters were cutting grass in PINEVILLE , using alexandria gas and after hours at a second job. Would that make you angry?
I think Roseanne's house has been converted into a shrine to snack food and the city has agreed to maintain it.
I see that Greg is trying all of his law suits on his blog. Isn't there some court rule on pre-trial publicity?
Look at all the posts by shyester lawyer Greg Aymond and his secret "client" Ex-Pineville Fire Chief Gary Moreau, who was fired, ahh allowed to resign. (heh,heh,heh)

What a pair! A loser lawyer who looks like a bowling ball with legs, teamed up with a sawed off runt of a fireman.
No I am not trying the City of Pineville's lawsuit on the Internet, I am simply reporting it. I fully well realize that a lawsuit is not decided on a blog.
Also, those posts were not mine. The Fields, Martin and Dupree minions would have you believe that all is well in Pinevile, and the only one that finds anything wrong with them is me. However, I was not in the crowd of ministers and Pineville citizens that met at Louisiana College and discussed a possible recall of the mayor. I was also not the one complaining of sewer backing up in my house on local TV. I am not the retired fire chief who has filed an ethics complaint on Dupree. My drinking water and ice maker didn't fill up with sewer. These are just a few of the better known issues.
Apparently the Pineville bunch has not yet realized that 3 years of attacks on my character will not stop me from reporting any of their wrongdoing I find. Notice that they do not respond to allegations made against them, they simply attack those they expose them. Now that's a looser. Also notice how many on here tell me to post about corrpution elsewhere, but they often re-post my posts here? So carry on the 2 or 3 Pinevillians who post pro- Pineville administration propoganda, we know the truth.
How many times are you going to rave on and on about Pineville and all that crap that we are not interested in at all. Are you mad? Please stop, there are so many other things to talk about.
I tried to listen this morning objectively to compare the "monthly update" between Jacque Roy and Clarence Fields. I had never noticed before. Fields starts every answer off with "thats something we are looking into" and then follows it up with dribble. At least our Cajun Mayor gives an answer. I do have to admit though that bringing with him 2 nuns to talk to about "good works" was a nice touch to try to redefine Mayor Budweiser Fields as a 'good man" I think it will be interesting to watch all the little pr tricks that they try to pull over the next few weeks to "redefine" Mayor Bud.
Ha! Jaques gets on the radio and talks about infrastructure, planned growth, utilities , developing a qualified economic development team . Fields talks about Clean City award and getting the city to pay for a better road to his house! Isn"t this the same road that was owned by the Parish but because the Police Jury wouldn't pay for it Fields got the City to annex it in? More people need to listen to these monthy "chats" that Fields has on the radio.
That particular road that you are talking about has been in bad shape for years. So are you saying that since the Mayor moved out there that the City has taken the road from the Police Jury just so that the City can pave it? Is that legal? Is it right? Hell, my road has potholes all over it wonder how I get the Mayor to pave it?
Yep
Apparently some folks on here do desire to talk about Pineville. LOL Guess the mayor wishes they wouldn't.
It is such a contrast between image and reality.
If you guys are talking about Donahue Ferry road between 28 East and the new ballpark, Hell yes it needs to be re-paved. I don't care who lives down there, sombody is going to get in a bad wreck if that wagon trail is not re-paved! Don't post unless you've driven on it.
I think the poster's point was that if it the road is so bad and the Mayor cared so much why not do something about the road before instead of AFTER he moves out there. There are lots of roads that have gone neglected by this administration. Maybe if he or his family had to drive on those roads he would get them fixed. Self serving decisions. The caller this morning called it right. "Now that the Mayor has moved in we expected the road to get fixed." Rollins said "the Mayor doesnt work like that" He is being hoodwinked too.
So this road was located outside of the City of Pineville and the Mayor brought it into the City and the road is getting preference over roads that are already IN the City limits just because the Mayor lives on the road and has to travel on it? HOW much is that costing?
I don't care how bad the road is. Decisions on where to spend City Money and what construction needs to be done should not be decided based upon what is best for our elected officials. What arrogance.
This is the same Mayor and City Aldermen who tried to give themselves raises right after getting re elected. I do not think they care if it appears self serving or not to buy the road from the Parish and then have the city Pave it so the Mayor can ride in style to his big new house.
Lance is a good guy, his girlfriend is a good girl. He will be an asset to this district. This blog never changes. Just a bunch of "has-beens" and "wanna-bes"
You guys are really off base on this road in Pineville. That road leads to one of the fastest growing residential areas in Pineville. Those homes are not mansions, but they are nice homes. That road also runs all the way into 28E. It's called economic development.
Have we as a society have been reduced to anonymous banter and vitriol? How much more productive could you all be if you read less sourceless b.s., formed your own opinion, and actually did something about these issues you supposedly know so much about?
You are absolutely right we should respect and appreciate good leadership that makes decisions based only upon whats best for our community . Like that BMX bike Track that has grass that is shoulder high. Not the first bike has been driven on it. The City only wasted $50,000 on that one. But...Maybeeeee when the Mayor has a grandchild that likes to ride bikes we can look forward to the City actually cleaning it up and running it and putting some of that money already wasted to use.
"You guys are really off base on this road in Pineville. That road leads to one of the fastest growing residential areas in Pineville. Those homes are not mansions, but they are nice homes. That road also runs all the way into 28E. It's called economic development. "
Wrong - that's called community development. Community development provides basic infrastructure such as roads, sewer, water, housing, etc. so that economic development can occur. Often community development is forced to occur because of huge economic development growth - thus the increase in housing development along this particular road.
Anything that is built they call Economic develpement . They really don't know the difference but take credit for all of it.
This road they are talking about was due to be repaired by the Parish. But evidently the Fields couldn't wait that long so they had the Parish give the City the road so that they could pave Clarences driveway all the way to Hwy 28 e. If you believe that that is good honest government then you fit in real good with a state that is considered #1 in corruption and no 50th in intellegent leadership.
I never said I believed it was good government, I just said it wasn't economic development. But then again I do have a college degree.
Then that would put you head and shoulders above anyone in charge at City Hall or on the City Counsil.

Are you addressing this to me? If so, let me remind you that this is not your blog. You can control what is posted on a blog of your own, but this isn't yours. Apparently, with no evidence, you think that I post every statement made that is critical of Pineville. There is little I can do, however, to cure your ignorance. I would suggest that if you do not like something I or others post, be an adult, scroll past it, and stop you whining.
I think you are very closed minded and biased if you think it is alright for others to attack me on this blog, and I not respond. When I do respond, I sign my name. I can do nothing about it if you you want to accuse me of making all the anti-Pineville posts on this blog. Nor can you stop me, or others, from posting here or tell us what we can post about. Quint Carriere is the only one that can do so, and he has committed himself to free speech. Maybe you are the one that should go elsewhere.
