Foti = Landrieu = New Orleans old school machine
Alexander = local boy, energetic NOT a member of the machine.
I know both of these gentleman. My family ties with Foti go back aways, my grandfather taught Charlie's mother how to drive. They lived across the street from one another.
I met Royal while he was Clyde Holloway's Chief of Staff. I've only known Royal for around 5 or 6 years now and would gladly cast my vote in his direction.
You can bet by the way that AG Foti will allow Mr. Breaux to run. You have no idea how entrenched the "New Orleans" crowd is ... or perhaps I should say south Louisiana.
Wake up people, before long we won't have a population much less a coast line.

An incumbant Attorney General becomes entrenched in office with the support of local District Attornies. The AG also secures his position by awarding contracts to local lawyers, all over the state, and by hiring lawyers with politically connected ties (for example Ned Randolph). My personal peave is political corruption, and I have seen no difference from the so-called "law and order" Foti, than any past Attorney General. In my personal dealings with several of his staff, I am also not imrpressed with his office being staffed by some dead heads, who do not know their jobs nor care to do it. If a dog runs against Foti, I plan to vote for the dog.
Well, well, well....If anybody was an expert in dead heads who don't know their jobs, it would be you Greg.
Any more news on the political corruption at Water Works #3?
LMAO..at you Greg!
I predict that a better candidate than either of these will emerge.
So Greg - did you file your ethics complaint on Myron's Raiders or were you just shootin' blanks?
Of course we should support Alexander because he is a republican. Being a sexual predator should have no consequences in government.
How could anybody possibly be more qualified to evaluate a candidate than Quint if Quint's ancestor taught the candidate's ancestor to drive? Quint, once again I applaud your objectivity.
I do not recall Royal being charged or convicted. Apparently you feel accusations are sufficient for crucifixion. How apropo in the Easter season.
Dear 4t 4 m3 ...
I merely stated that I have known Foti's family for many years. There are many things that I did not post, having known them for many years. I did not recommend YOU voting for anyone ... I stated that I would support Royal. You see it is easier to make statements and decisions on people when you know them intimately. I can't wait for you to explain the predator remark ...
I am just a frustrated citizen of CENLA! WHY YOU ASK? Well lets start with the local media, meaning newspaper, television, radio not to mention a few other local publications that did not participate. Everyone always states the fact that we do not have anything going on locally, well we did and there was minimal coverage( heavy emphasis on minimal) for the Que'n on the Red. why wasn't there live remotes from the local radio stations or even a live remote from our local television stations? We do have Three local (meaning in Alexandria) television stations don't we? Just wanted to put this out to see if i was the only person that felt this way. Signed Drew man.
Dear Antics:
I'm sorry. I thought that had heard about the allegations within Rodney Alexander's own staff of sexual predation by Royal which were the basis for his dismissal or resignation. I forget how you distrust the liberal media.
And Spanky, you are right. Neither Royal, nor O.J., nor Michael Jackson, nor Tom Delay have been convicted of anything. Please feel free to endorse them also.
Dear 4t 4 m3 ...
Yes I am aware of the allegations of Royal's misconduct. In fact Royal spoke to me about it before it hit the press. You don't know the stories of what happened and why Royal resigned. It is best for you to back down, you're headed down the wrong stream. The one you are currently travelling ends in a waterfall. If I am allowed to divulge any of the stories I will.
In closing a suggestion to all ... read the book, not the Cliff notes to get the whole story ....
So Greg - did you file your ethics complaint on Myron's Raiders or were you just shootin' blanks?

ANSWER: Although your question was apparently intended as an insult, yes I have mailed off the ethics complaint. Be forewarned, however, by state law, any additional information will probably have to be released by the State Ethics Board, from this point on.
Dear Antics:
The available information does not bode well for your candidate. Of course there is more to the story and I and the rest of the electorate would welcome any enlightenment you or he could provide. If he truly intends to enter the political arena, surely he is aware that this issue will not go away, and meaning no disrespect, I doubt that the general voting public will take your word that there is no substance to this headline story that led to his discharge from the highest ranks of the congressman's office. Where there's smoke . . . .
Are all democrats just plain stupid, or is it just the elected ones?
Even their own Washington Post could not support this "foolishness."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/04/AR2007040402306_pf.html
I believe the point here is you came out as if Royal had been charged with this. To my knowledge, he hasn't been charged with anything. Of course, something tells me it's your job to come out with both guns blasting with this "sexual predator" accusation. I'm not surprised at all that you would be coordinating this attack. Fortunately, I think he's ready for you. Are you ready for him?
You guys are doing the exact right thing. Pretend that nothing ever happened. I'm sure that nobody will mention it.
You guys are doing the exact right thing. Pretend that nothing ever happened. I'm sure that nobody will mention it.
I am for Foti, and I think he has done a great job. However, I don't think anyone should be calling Royal scandalous names. This sort of filth is why some good folks don't run for office anymore. C'mon guys, keep it clean. Foti will win on his record without the need to resort to personal attacks on his opposition.
Foti, will win or lose based on one thing" How he interprets the constitution that he has sworn to uphold.
If he clears Breaux, he seals his own fate.
Is it true Foti gave Jerry Deason (ADA) a cushy job with the AG's office because of his connections with Deason's uncle, Charlie Wagner??
To 4t4 m3, you posted this:
"Of course we should support Alexander because he is a republican. Being a sexual predator should have no consequences in government."
I'll tell you this right to your face if you like...you sir are a liar.
To call someone, anyone, a "sexual predator" is VERY strong language and unless you have STRONG evidence, which in this case does not exist, you are engaging in spreading not rumors, but boldface lies.
Elizabeth Scott, the supposed "victim" in this case has withdrawn her allegations in the face of absolute proof that Royal Alexander NEVER engaged in any sort if inappropriate behavior.
There are office records, such as time sheets and appointment books, that show that Scott was in way over her head as scheduler for Rep Alexander. Her job performance was sub-par, period. When Rep Alexander gave instructions to either fire or demote her, it was up to Royal Alexander to carry out the task.
Scott, who is only 26 and VERY inexperienced decided to play the “sexual harassment” card and was promptly shot from the saddle.
So, it’s apparent that you, sir, either don’t know a damn thing about which you speak, or you’re just a bold faced liar. Either way, you’re not to be listened to. You’re un-important.
Truth Squad gets 10 ATTABOYS. I like your style. Only thing better would have been to call him/her a GD liar.
Facts are what we need to deal with not bullshit stirring.
If he was pure as the driven snow and totally exhonerated, one naturally wonders why he bailed out of the office in haste and disgrace. I'm sure that there is a rational explanation which he will have ample opportunity to recite. Perhaps he had something to do with the excellent handling of the page sex scandal through Rodney's office. All this will be aired in the political grider.
OK, truth squid, uh, squad, then drag out your finest apologia & tap dance around Rodney Alexander, his office & presumably his Chief of Staff lying to that newspaper down in Tampa who when asked said they knew nothing about the Mark Foley page scandal.
And don't say he promised the boy's parents. He could at least said he knew & was doing something about it. But no, he lied. So come down from your high elephant & don't give us all this about truth.
Facts are what we need to deal with not bullshit stirring.
You will very seldom find that here. On this blog it is considered a sport to anonymously atack someone with lies, even their families.
All we know is what we read in the papers. We don't have the sort of intimate knowledge one would naturally acquire if one's great grandmother's paperboy during WW1 was a second cousin to the housekeeper for the guy who repaired the lawnmower of the person in question. That kind of valuable access and insight is truly a rare opportunity.
* his grandmother learned to drive pretty good
And you are such a fine upstanding individual who comes out from under the porch to spread your slime all over decent people. Yeah....you're really something for the Democratic party to be proud of. If the truth were known, I would be willing to bet the powers that be in your party don't even admit to knowing you.
Who's the slime? The guy who sexually harrasses women or the guy who mentions it disapprovingly?
Give me a break here. Even an old fashioned "slimer" can figure this one out.
This is going to be an interesting election cycle. The democrats have the moral and decency high ground. The Republicans have Rudy, Newt, and Royal to live down. Makes Mrs. Clinton and Lawyer Edwards look mighty good.
Oh yeah, the Dems have the moral high ground allright. You mean like Rep. Jefferson. Now that's a laugh.
BTW....you might want to check the polls before you start that "holier than thou" routine. And compared to the Clintons, anyone would look good.
Now now - as Spanky pointed out, Rep. Jefferson has not been charged with or convicted of any crime. All we have is the story of him putting his stuff someplace cold, unlike Royal who stands accused of putting his stuff someplace HOT!
http://www.myspace.com/myronklawson
Actually, you are leaving one tiny little detail out. The former employee has withdrawn her "accusation.
Royal is a good friend of mine. He was cleared because the facts showed Scott to be at best a second string liar. However, there is a real horse in the AG race, Buddy Caldwell. Buddy has been the DA in Franklin Parish for 30 years and is well connected in B.R. B.R. wins that race not N.O. anymore. If Buddy raises the $$ he wins hands down. He's a veteran campaigner and a tough qualified and competent prosecutor.

you wrote: "All we know is what we read in the papers."
Exactally, which is why you're a liar. We all know how accurate and un-biased the media is.
michelle says shes gonna interview bridgette brown and her outtatown attorney. michelle i hope you have the guts to challenge those fools on the facts.... bridgette used to represent ems before she was put on the city's case by her friend the city attorney. this isn't about race.... it's about money.... and bridgette's freaking out because she's not going to get paid for the work she never did in the first place. look into all of this michelle whenever you interview the lawyer... ask her what work she did... ask her how she got put on the case... ask her if she has any experience in utilities litigation like the guys in baton rouge.... ask her how close her office is to kelvin sanders and ask her how much she pays her landlord for rent.... ask her why she said in the city council meeting that ems was sued by the city of alexandria when she should know as the attorney that never happened....
"Documentation obtained today from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries shows the following: “Our records indicate that Mr. John Breaux acquired the following licenses, Nonresident Migratory Bird 3-day, Nonresident LA Duck Stamp and HIP Certification on January 3, 2006"
Seems like ole Breaux has sealed his own fate. He even paid to be recognized as a non-resident.
If Foti doesn't see the handwriting on this wall, he's too illiterate to be AG.
Easter Sunday Town Talk asks the wrong question on this day to commemorate resurection:
"Cyntreniks Inc., a Baton Rouge-based company that is trying to purchase the historic hotel from its owner Bob Dean, has been working diligently for months to put together the funds. They are about $6 million short and have asked the city to consider some level of investment in the old hotel."
The question should not be "Do you believe in the Bentley?" but "Do you believe in a company that has lied to us repeatedly since their involvement started, been part of a ruse by Silver and Lawson to mislead the public for their personal political advantage, (Silver has a very direct and obvious conflict with his white elephant building being accross the street) and a company that has, so far, failed to keep EVERY promise and prediction they have publically made." I love the Bentley and hope it can be preserved, but I am not willing to have the city fund a bad idea with an unreliable company.
I am convinced that most of the bloggers on this site are city employees who do nothing during the work day.
Looks like that store in Tioga is filing suit against the police jury so they can sell beer and alcohol. The Northside Journal posted a report on their website.
Looks like the beer wagon is on the way. I just want to have a beer with my fried shrimp at Fant's
Hrm...it looks like Myron and Harry are not fullfilling some campaign promises. Think about it, everytime Mayor Roy has asked the council to get back with him on Fast Track they fail to comply. Why are they delaying this process?
In fact, all seven have failed in this venture. Isn't Fast Track one of the major priorities set forth by the council? But then again, what should we be expecting from a council filled greedy, lazy personalities who only want power and NOT progress.
Think about citizens of Alexandria. We could be working on other projects instead of avoiding the issues that are vital. But, Myron and Everett are more inclined to spend money on Dana Pitcher, a two-bit boxing promoter and potential crook (he's trying to fleece the city out of tons of money). Everett believes that the failed boxing events put on are forms of economic development. But are they helping to educate the public on utilities? Are they helping out the citizens by explaining how to better fight against crime in neighborhoods? Or building area projects that benefit the tax-payers? NO!
No Fast Track. No help in educating the public. No active work in building a better community. Nope, these guys want to line their pockets and the pockets of their friends from out of town. IS this the type of council you want? One that could give two shits less about you? One filled with Democrats suckling off the government teet feeding their friends in the process?
Isn't the number one responsibility and priority of the council to provide basic services to the city? Utilities? Trash service? It's not cheap boxing events put on by a scam artist who probably pays for his own events in other cities.
To Hell with economic development. Who gives a shit about economic development when our electricity bill are so high we cant afford to burn a light bulb, or crime is so uncontrolled that a thief would steal our light bulb? And don't feed me that lame old crap about more businesses that locate here the better it will make my life. I have not noticed an improvement in crime, lower utility bills, or much of anything else with the location of Plastipak, Union Tank Car or anything else. Stop blowing smoke up my ass, and show me the benefits. My tax money is given to the rich, in the name of economic development, and I don't see one dam benefit to me.
You can't really blame anyone in the city for the surge in natural gas costs, but you can blame them for being an inept bureaucracy that hardly knows how to respond to this crisis. The real blame for our high utility bills should be given to the federal government because honestly people, this crisis isn't just isolated to Alexandria. This is a crisis occurring all over the nation.
According to the Town Talk, "It is the electricity bought by Cleco on the open market, which is passed directly on to city ratepayers, that's the highest price. In the past 12 months, the price of the open-market electricity has been 37 percent higher than that of LEPA power.
When fuel costs alone are calculated, Alexandria residents pay 39 percent more per kilowatt hour of electricity, which is bought wholesale from a variety of sources including Cleco."
So how is it the federal government's fault that we in Alexandria get shafted 1/3 more than Pineville just across the River?
I am more conerned with this utlity crisis than using my taxes to help a dam boxing promotoer or a bunch of liars buy the Bentley.
Lest not we confuse things with the facts...........
The 39% disparity in fuel cost has been quoted ad nauseum. Is that a one time occurence or a historical average. Do you know? Do you care?
Go back and look at your bills for all of 2006; you'll see its a one time occurence not a historical average, but then again facts don't sell nearly as well as supposition and assuption blended with carefully crafted omissions.
Call down, get the facts, then decide; you might even live longer.
At these prices, who can afford to live longer?
get the facts
The fact is many many people cannot afford their utility bills. One time or historical, it can still get your eletricity cut off. We can sit in the dark and ponder wther its a historical average or not.
You Alexandria dimbulbs make me sick. You whine and moan about the lack of leadership, corruption and just plain stupidity of your city council yet you voted for them!
Just a few months ago you all had a change to install a council that was honest and intelligent, instead you re-hired a bunch of self-serving crooks who can't spell their own name.
I'm tired if hearing you whine about how bad it is in Alexandria, you got what you voted for.
Who is the dimbulb here? You are assuming that these posters voted to maintain the current city council. I highly doubt that every voter in Alexandria posts here.
Don't read in here if it offends you, there are plenty of other blogs for you. I am sure the "Dora the Explorer" blog may be more pleasing to you.
I love it when a poster who can't spell calls everyone else a "dimbulb". Funny.
What is the city doing with the "profit" from the utility department? I heard it was how they were paying for the "free" bus rides, the boxing, the BBQ, etc.
A definition of "COMMUNICATE" 2 : to transmit information, thought, or feeling so that it is satisfactorily received or understood (two sides failing to communicate with each other) Anon 8:32:00 AM did successfully "communicate" his or her thoughts. As long as that is done, even if spelling errors or typos are contained in the post, the goal has been accomplished. It is truly a shame when the only thing someone can add to a discussion is to point out spelling errors and attempt to belittle the poster. Spelling perfectly, on a blog, or typing skills is not a test of intelligence, nor is pointing out such mistakes.
Everyone can sleep easier tonight. The Anna Nicole DNA results are in. I am so relieved, and this will make it so much easier to pay my sky-high utility bill.
Did you catch the CIty Council meeting? According to some black woman, utility bills in Baton Rouge are only $95, and here they are $1000. I'm moving.
Anon 04-09 7:19pm:
Please clarify a few things for me...
You talk about Silver and Lawson not fufilling campaign promises, but what campaign promises has Roy lived up to? Transparency? No sweetheart deals? Please. The promises he made, those words he spoke so eloquently-so sincerely seem to be, at this point, empty words twisted into shapes of promises given to people in exchange for their votes. You claim that Silver and Lawson are trying to delay the fast track operation...there are other council members. Oh, I know! They are in on it too! I don't know if you are paranoid, uninformed or simply trying to perpetuate the myth that the council is made up of selfish self serving men. Hobbes wasn't the only one who voted for the Pitcher deal. Furthermore, it is my understanding that ordinances are passed down from the mayors office. Roy did postpone the vote, but it was put back on. It appears to me that Roy looked into it, was satisfied and sent it back to the council.
Economic development, utilities,and fast track are all important issues that need to be addressed. However, the MOST important issue that needs to be addressed (and most importantly remembered)is the fact that our system has a system of checks and balances. Checks and balances are there to avoid situations like the one you are describing with the council. The mayor, after all, does have veto power. Surely he would use it if he felt strongly enough about something-even if the council overrode his veto, at least he could send a message to the public that he meant it when he promised "No sweetheart deals". If he really did mean it.
Maybe what everyone needs to keep in mind-esp. the mayor and the council is that they were all elected by the people, FOR the people. The mayor was not elected to try to determine if the council is worthy of making decisions or not-the people decided that when they elected each of them.
I don't see how the boxing event could possibly keep the city from educating the public on fighting crime, or on how to read the utility bills. All the mayor has to do is send down an ordinance, even if the council dosen't pass it at least he would have made the
effort. Or perhaps the mayor too busy letting people fill his head with paranoid tales of what the council is doing to undermine him?
Enough with the propaganda, rumors and out right lies. Everybody needs to do the job that they are supposed to do. Except the people who are getting paid to produce propaganda, rumors and lies. They just need to remember what La Rochefoucauld said.
"Tricks and treachery are mearly proof of lack of skill.")
Let Foti underestimate what's out there to his own detriment. No one can objectively castigate and pass judgement on alexander over unproven, frivolous charges by an incompetent staffer while giving Foti a pass. Foti has repeatedly abused his position as sheriff(google Foti in the national press) and has decided as a matter of policy to harass medical heroes. Foti makes Alexander's legal woes look like sunday school when viewed against his own record of incompetence,corruption and horrible judgment.
you are all kidding yourselves if you don't think foti is about to be in the fight of his life.
Pandora the box.
Please put down your copy of Maximes and don't let those flaming french writers cloud your mind. Do you really know what is going on with the Mayor? Tell me again why you think he is not being transparent and giving out sweetheart deals. Vous avez de la ciboulette sur votre dent. Pa-lease.
"You have chives on your tooth. Pa-lease" "Vous avez de la ciboulette sur votre dent. Pa-lease."
nEW fRENCH?
I don't see how anyone could take the side of the people complaining in Charles Park about the city finally enforcing an ordinance about where you can dump your trash in your neighborhood. Is the city supposed to selectively enforce code violations? Should the people who live in Charles Park be allowed to follow a different set of rules than the rest of us?
Did anyone see where Kelvin Sanders is now law partners with Neil Chadwick?
What the hell is up with that? The former city attorney is now in business with the former Cleco attorney.... Smell bad to anyone? Does this say anything about what was happening before?
Chadwick and Sanders seems like a match made in heaven. Chadwick will advise Sanders on how to screw up utilities contracts and now they can both make money!!!!
I finally get it!! Chadwick still has a contract with Cleco... Bridgette Brown tried to get Kelvin Sanders appointed as special counsel to the city council... and now Sanders and Chadwick are in business together...
are they all just completely retarded or do they think we don't see what's really going on? I wonder what quality advice Sanders was going to offer the city council on Cleco.
Neil Chadwick and Kelvin Sanders are good, professional people and do not deserve to be slandered on this blog. I wish them the best on their new law firm, and I'm certain that both of them would never do anything improper.
GIMME A BREAK!
kelvin sanders looks even more corrupt now... the council tried to hire this guy as their attorney in the cleco case and he's LAW PARTNERS with one of cleco's attorneys.
... Kelvin Sanders are good, professional people and do not deserve to be slandered on this blog.
Bullshit. Kelvin misused his office and used it to make money for his friends.
the cleco lawyer and randolph's city attorney are now practicing law together. now we really know what relationship existed between the council, bridgette brown, and kelvin sanders. the question is who was getting played? the council or the citizens?
Same old voices whining about the same old shit. Reminds me of the fat guy who complains that his clothes don't fit as he stuffs another piece of pie in his mouth....
If you want your city to change, get off your ass and go change it.
i see the wife beating manager of the aces got off with a slap on the wrist.
Step one of getting off your ass and trying to change things is telling people about the corruption.
it's still incredible sanders would have the audacity to join neil chadwick's law firm... like a previous commenter said you really have to question the type of advice sanders was giving the council on cleco... didn't they just try to get him hired back on?
they tried to get him hired for free. how much could he need a job??
a lawyer like sanders wouldn't have been advising the council out of the goodness of his own heart... something weird is going on here.
Step one of getting off your ass and trying to change things is telling people about the corruption.
No that is called bitchin about it. Filing official complaints with appropriate state angencies, and not voting those back into office, is tyring to change things. How many of you bitching on here about Sanders have filed a complaint with the Ethics Board?
Do either of them have clients?
they're all in business together....
Foti is smarter than I thought he was. He may have just earned my vote.
http://www.thetowntalk.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070413/NEWS01/70413008
Also, Breaux may have told him to say no, so that he could gracefully drop out seeing that JB still trails Jindal in the polls.
LA "What a Country."
did anyone see bridgette brown on channel four talking about swimming pools? what the heck is going on with this woman? one week she brings in a lawyer who doesn't know the difference between the first amendment and the fifth amendment and the next week she's talking about swimming pools....
"did anyone see bridgette brown on channel four talking about swimming pools? what the heck is going on with this woman? one week she brings in a lawyer who doesn't know the difference between the first amendment and the fifth amendment and the next week she's talking about swimming pools...."
LOL. She's losing it! I was wondering about what she was talking about. What does a swimming pool have to do with anything? Why is the solution always water parks and swimming pools?
She will always have a soft spot in my heart. I believe that one of the new constitutional amendments mentions something about the right to use water for entertainment purposes.
Can I get an "Amen".
hey waterslide, wanna go out?
Quint said "You can bet by the way that AG Foti will allow Mr. Breaux to run." I guess Foti had fewer balls that you gave him credit for. Like a good politician his teststerone levels are only sufficient enough for him to ride the fence. Maybe next election we can get an Attorney General who is more concerned with doing his job that worrying about what is the politically safest thing to do.
i hear ms brown has been hootin and hollerin about that swimming pool all over town. she's up to something.
I think she is upset because the only pool the blacks can use in the summer is the one inside at Peabody. I guess the children want to be outside to maintain their tan.
i hear bb is just posturing to run for council next year... explains why she is all gung-ho about that pool.
" Anonymous said...

That's ridiculous. She's not running for anything. You DAMN REDNECKS never get it... well let me explan... Bridgett Brown is speaking about an IMPORTANT ISSUE in the black community. This isn't JUST about a POOL. This is THE FIRST STEP. You're not going to silence or intimidate Ms. Brown. She is a STRONG leader.
Bridgett Brown is speaking about an IMPORTANT ISSUE in the black community. This isn't JUST about a POOL. This is THE FIRST STEP. You're not going to silence or intimidate Ms. Brown. She is a STRONG leader.
No. Brown is an opportunist who uses her sex and race to make money and obtain political favors. Admittedly, she is no better nor any worse that any other person who seeks to obtain special favors and advantages at the public trough. There used to be a swimming pool across the street from Peabody. Its not there anymore because it was destroyed by Blacks, just as many of the public parks that have been provided in their neighborhoods. Go blow that smoke up somebody else's ass.
I'm sure that is what the black community needs. A pool. Couldn't ms. Brown just build one in her white neighboorhood backyard and invite everyone over???
you gotta love maryland breaux. couldn't get a break from foti. looked at the polls and jindal's campaign funds and said nevermind, i'll go back to maryland. now that is the love and the backbone we need for louisiana. i for one, will miss him
I have to admit that I am utterly disgusted with Breaux as well. And they talk about women being indecisive...
Why enter a race that you will lose. and why, oh why would anyone claim to be a resident of louisiana??
I managed to miss all the news today. What did Foti have to say about Breaux's Louisiana citizenship?
To the anonymous poster who was so concerned with the "damn rednecks" -
Why is it such an issue with the black community about where the black children swim?? Shouldn't the issue be, where will CHILDREN swim??
It appears that Breaux has decided the grass is greener in Maryland. He will not be running for governor in Lousiana after all.
Don't you know, all WHITE children have a pool in their backyard. They even get the special WHITE rate for the utilities for the pool (water and power).
Who was it that said JB has sealed his own fate by purchasing a non-resident hunting license?
Oh yesh, that was me.
When that hit the fan, JB called Foti, and said "dude, get me outta this."
And he did.
Damn, white children have pools in their yards? Someone STOLE mine!
Hey, and as I look around, a lot of my neighbors'pools have been stolen as well! Uh-oh! Looks like this now is going to be a HUGE issue in the white community now, too. Screw utilities, screw downtown revitalization!! Tear down the Bentley and put in a pool. Everybody could be happy, and 6 million dollars is gonna put in a helluva diving board.
What I found most interesting about BB is she was practically begging Myron and Roosevelt to introduce an ordinance regarding the re-opening of the pool and they danced all around her - appearing to toss the ball back to the adminstration and not give into her. Makes you wonder ...
Does the Bentley have a pool ?
Maybe we should all attend City Council meetings and ask for other things, and maybe we could raise the utility bills even further to pay for it. I think we need waterslides, go-carts, ponies, a shooting range, magicians and clowns. Plus free adult supervision, summer in alexandria will be great.
Forget Chetam park, I want a pool and new Basketball goals in my yard.
yeah the bentley has a pool... it's kind of hidden on the corner of main street and jackson.
What happened to the pool at Chetam Park? Why the big uproar? Can it be opened in time for summer??
And why does Bridgett Brown care?
Bridgett's thinking about running against Roosevelt Johnson for the at-large seat next year. Get used to it. We'll probably be hearing a lot more from her.
Guess she could run now, since she will not get any more legal work from the city.
i think we're all missing the issue here. while bridgette is banging around town asking for this pool, we're caught in the racial aspect of this mess. this isn't necessarily about race; rather, it is about unnecessary waste of government money that will most likely end up in the hands of others. let's look at the facts shall we.
bridgette proposed this pool recently to friends of mine and her pitch was akin to 1 million dollars in allocation for building and creation of 10 jobs. outside of this, there isn't much else in terms of basics for what will happen in the future (cost of admission, classes offered, etc.). Important questions like: who will own the complex, how it will benefit a blighted community, and simple cost per year for upkeep are never mentioned. this is more a political ploy to keep her name in the spotlight than anything to do with basic community enhancement. the creation of 10 jobs has never fully been specified by ms. brown. who will take these positions and what will they be for? i can see 2 lifeguards, 1 admin, and 1 manager for the complex. but 10 jobs is unneccesary in the long run.
for all those who have commented on the racial angle: stop. you keep putting the larger term--black-- in place of the smaller, more specific aspect--community. it was the community who ran down the pool, much like the community ran down the neighborhood parks. putting the focus on the whole does nothing to frame any arguments and kills the case before it can take hold. this is an issue of proper government spending and elimanating government fraud. this is all brown is proposing, pork. she's trying to waste resources, get her name in the spotlight for a possible run at roosevelt, and recieve money from the government tit.
Why doesn't Bridgett run against Chuck Fowler?
Why would we need to build city pools when several schools have pools that are unused during the summer?? Seems like a waste to me. Create 10 full time jobs? who uses a pool in the middle of the day in december??
She sounds as dim as Roosevelt.
The cost of building a pool would be insignificant when compared to the cost of insuring, maintaining, and staffing the pool. The liability would be enormous and the logistics of managing what is happening in the pool, in the parking lot, in the dressing rooms, and on the diving boards would be prohibitive. Bridget is trying to suddenly sound interested in the community but she ain't and the 'community' knows that. Rosevelt's prayers would be answered in she took him on. Bridget is probably the only Dist. 5 resident that Fowler could beat. And the big question is WWJD?
"What would Jacques do?"
Michelle Godard for city council.
it was the community who ran down the pool, much like the community ran down the neighborhood parks.
No apologist, it was their community that destroyed their park and pool. Facts are facts, regardless of race. People like Bridgett, Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, especially after the events with Imus this week, show that most Blacks consider themselves a separate community. People like you, who choose to ignore that, makes it no less so. Ever heard of a White Miss America, or a United White College Fund, a White Law Students Association or a White Legislative Caucus? Of course not, but there are Black ones. If a new pool is opened near Peabody, will you send your kids to it ?
I also find this civic minded Bridgett crap, and her little dance with the council, to be interesting coming the week an ethics complaint was filed against her Myron and Kelvin.
How about an intergovernmental agreement with the school board for the use of the Peabody pool, without any credit to or mention of Bridgette?
"How about an intergovernmental agreement with the school board for the use of the Peabody pool, without any credit to or mention of Bridgette?"
That already exists.
"People like Bridgett, Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson, especially after the events with Imus this week, show that most Blacks consider themselves a separate community."
Recognize Bridgett, Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson for who they are-- attention mongers on the fringes, people who play to racial identity politics because it's intellectually convenient.
I agree with the poster who said this is about a community, not about a race, and when we allow radicals to frame the debate in racial terms, we're not making any progress.
Bridget doesn't live in the black community, she lives in West Point. She doesn't have children. She just needs attention, and it looks like she is getting plenty.
If you don't think very many Blacks make race an issue, you have your head buried in the sand. Take your arguments up with them.
When you let people on the fringes of a political issue determine your perception of an entire race, you're the naive one, and you're playing directly into the racist stereotypes people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson love to talk about.
No, you are a naive and blind imbecile if you don't see that it is Blacks themselves who promote racism and refuse to melt into the melting pot of America. You are so hung up with past injustices that you refuse to recognize facts. Other than a few White nuts, it is a large majority of Blacks who appear to desire being recognized as a separate people apart from the rest of us. You are the type that calls it a hate crime when someone kills a Black. Is it a love crime when they rob a convenience store. Until Blacks stop blindly following other Blacks, such as Bridgett Brown and Al Sharpton, and start reporting crime in their neighborhoods and hold in disdain those that lack a work ethic and morals, will we come together as one nation. So your not recognizing this is like saying you don't believe in oxygen. Whether you believe in it or not, it still exists.
No doubt some people blindly follow ideologues, but until you recognize that these people are on the extremes and do not represent the mainstream at all, they will continue to have power. You may think Sharpton and Jackson represent the mainstream, but actually, it's people like Barack Obama, Harold Ford, and J.C. Watts. Locally, we seem to pay a lot of attention to Bridgett Brown, at the expense of someone like Sandra Bright, a real community leader and a real advocate for positive change.
I find it intersting that the "black leaders" of our community don't live in the black community. It must be guilt that is inspiring her Chetam swimming pool. She must not want little black children swimming in her pool in her back yard.
Why does everyone call it a "swimming pool" anyway?????
We all know that white folks can't dance and black folks can't swim.
Please refer to it as a wading pool.
Thank you. That is all.
How can we complain. We had a chance to replace Lawson, Silver, and Hobbs with some good guys and give our progressive new mayor a decent shot and we blew it. We are getting exactly what we deserve.
We made sure that all the bad shit including Bridget and Kelvin and the water slides continue
"I find it intersting that the "black leaders" of our community don't live in the black community."
You're right. Shouldn't people know that you can't be a black person with an opinion in Alexandria unless you live in the mythical black community? I guess you must mean South Alexandria, right? So if you don't live in South Alexandria, you're living in the "white community." Is that right? If you're a black leader who lives anywhere in Alexandria that isn't in the "black community," you're probably just scared. Right?
It's easy to forget how racist some people are in Alexandria, until you visit this blog for a refresher course in subtle racism.
Bridgett does not live in a majority black district for city council, maybe that is what people are referencing. She lives in West Point, close to ASH, why is she fighting for a pool on the other side of town?? Oh, right, because that is the "black" area, by Peabody. Maybe she should fight for her own neighboorhood.
Peabody has a pool. ASH has a pool. Bolton has nothing. Maybe someone should fight for those children.
Bridgett may not live in a majority black district, but she does live in a majority black city. Maybe she's thinking about running for the at-large seat.
There is nothing subtle about this racism. It's as overt as it can be.
It's easy to forget how racist some people are in Alexandria, until you visit this blog for a refresher course in subtle racism.
Or watch a City Council meeting on TV and see the special deals given out by Myron and company to Bridgett, Kelvin and others, based solely on thier race and business relations with Myron. The only ones I see and hear making race an issue are Blacks. That's their prime reason for getting hings and prime excuse for screwing up.
I see nothing wrong with a successful Black desiring to live in a nice, clean and safe neighborhood. Most people, of any race, move to better neighborhoods. I wish, however, that these so-called Black leaders would spend more time on advising "their" people to not tolerate crime, drug dealing and trash in those neighborhoods. I think that the citizens of the Acadian Village are on the right track.
It does seem that it is Bridgett Brown herself who most often plays the race card, and it has worked for her in the past. Until Blacks, such as Bridgett and others like her, truly assimilate into American society, and stop holding themselves out to being different, will most racism end in this country. When Black politicians fail to speak out for all people, just not those of their race, or seek benefits for just their race, block vote for any Black charlatan that runs for an office, tolerate crime and immorality, and basically keep thinking of themselves as African Americans instead of just Americans, they simply feed the rhetoric of the White Supremacists. However, Black politicians seem no more nor less crooked than White ones.
9:56am-- bolton doesn't have enough room for a pool. the land area they own has been used up. the surrounding area cannot support a pool due to the growth within.
here's a nugget to think about: when you consult with the hindi, vietnamese, or chinese community in this area (however small they may be) do you consult a leader of the community? no? why do you think that is? those communities wish to integrate themselves into the city at large. the same goes for many of the same ethnic groups across the country. going to los angeles you'll never consult with the leader of korea town or an ambassador from the chilean area of eastern l.a. The fact stands that people need to deal with the community instead of their self appointed leaders.
all the cries of racism are annoying. the racist cries are annoying. dealing with facts and empirical observations lends itself to debate on this issue much better. break this down simply and you'll find an answer. brown wants to build a pool in a dying sector of the community, she claims it'll add jobs, there is no vision other than this plan, and the whole deal looks like a sad ploy for attention.
If you know Bridget, and I do, you know that she could not function in society as a white person. Everything that she has and is is soley dependant on white guilt and black opportunism. Daphne Robinson, Kelvin Sanders, and Chuck Johnson, on the other hand, could flourish in any society. In other words, Bridget plays the race card because that's the only one she has.
Is Royal Alexander running for Governor?
Is Bridgett Brown running for Governor?
Royal's running for Attorney General. Bridgett's running for Roosevelt's seat. We've been over this.
If you know Bridget, and I do, you know that she could not function in society as a white person.
Sure she could. If she were White, she could be a televangelist, a wizard of the KKK, a cop or maybe even a bull rider. She would also make a good white politician or organizer for Al Queda.

Very tragic what happened at VT yesterday. Thoughts and prayers are with those families.
KALB reported that cell phones are being cosidered as a warning tool at LSUA. One student said all have cell phones, and another admitted texting people during class. Anyone see something wrong with the use of cell phones during class?
It seems the Clown Talk is suddenly taking an interest in our Sheriff's Department and the men (Slocum particularly). I wish they would hurry up and endorse hime and seal his fate to also ran status.
Wow,

There is just nothing left to talk about. The Republicans are coming! The republicans are coming!
It's good to see we got the Delta Queen back.
I'll bet it's a positive experience to steam past the sinking trashed-out hulks that line our banks near the dock. The council talks about beautifying our gateways but even the river entrance is slummed up. That's a shame.
Wonder who actually controls the land along the banks of the River -Corps, City of Alex, Levee Board - whom? Seems like it is a navigable river.
Ok patriotic and those knowledable of American, State, City and other FLAG protocol??? Here is the situation. Three Flag Poles side by side with the Center POLE the tallest. Four Flags... American, State, City and POW flags present.
VIEWER FACING THE FLAGS, with the American Flag in the Center and highest, which flag is to the viewers left? Which flag is the the viewers right? And which flag is under the American flag???????
I have really found alot about the American Flag and display, but this scenerio I would like to know. Could not find the answer...
Thanks
Going out on a limb - US Center, State left City right no such thing as a POW flag. Usually it is flown as a "banner" under US flag.
Displaying the POW/MIA Flag
Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action come from EVERY STATE, thus the POW/MIA flag has precedence over state flags. The following guidelines should be followed in flying the POW/MIA flag:
If flying the flag from ONE FLAG POLE, the POW/MIA flag is flown directly below the National Colors.
If flying National, POW/MIA and State flags from TWO poles, the POW/MIA flag should be flown from the same pole as the National Colors, and beneath the American Flag, with the state flag flying from the pole to the left.
Not a bad guess on my part. Thought memory still works. Only leaves the right hanf flag pole open
And before someone informs me a "flag" is a piece of cloth because I said the POW/MIA flag is not a "flag I meant it is not a formal flag complete with protocol. If it touches the ground you don't have to burn it. It can be flown at night without a light. It can be flown in inclement weather.
I consider the Stars and Stripes an official flag in that there are a host of rules and regulation governing the use thereof. What is unique to see and immediately comprehend is that the US flag is always to the speaker's right and State or other nation flag to the left. Then when the President or someone is speaking in another Nation their flag is to the President's right. Messes your mind up.
"KALB reported that cell phones are being cosidered as a warning tool at LSUA. One student said all have cell phones, and another admitted texting people during class. Anyone see something wrong with the use of cell phones during class?"
They are allowed and used during class at the High Schools, why would LSUA be any different?
Signed up for the new KALB news text message service - think I'm gonna like it a lot.
Old age slows the thinking process and the ability to arrive at a what if situation. I hate that.
The City of Alexandria's ordinance against non-inspected and un-licensed vehicles means that a salvage yard cannot locate in Alexandria. In addition to new car dealers having their vehicles towed an Alexandria salvage yard would have their inventory towed and stored by a non-Alexandria salvage yard.
Is PB Sylvester actually that stupid? This situation is beginning to remind me of "military intelligence." Maybe PB Sylvester needs to work as something other than a taxpayer funded trough feder to understand the ramification of stupid ordances. Apparently she doesn't realize that a class action suit should be filled by all non-Alexandria residents against the City of Alexandria for having to accept Alexandria citizen's junk vehicles because thye ordinance prohibits the operation of a salvage yard in Alexandria.
What a joke but typical of city employees out of control.
The U-Pak-It Citgo on Jackson Street Ext will be closed for a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck is that going to do to our APD?????? Where will they sit for hours on end???
I agree. More junkyards! More abandoned cars! Less code enforcement!
Sheesh.
So your saying stomping on civil rights is less important then what the PB Assistant City Attorney Sylvester wants? Like it or not property cannot, according to the fifth amendment, cannot be confisticated without due process. PB Sylvester is not due process.
"They are allowed and used during class at the High Schools, why would LSUA be any different?"
They are not allowed and used in all high schools. They are not allowed in mine. If a student's cell phone goes off, it is taken, sent to the office and the parents must come to get it. The students may keep them in their purses or backpacks as sort of a "don't ask, don't tell" policy.
The ordinance may need to be revised. I don't doubt that. They seem to have been a little overreaching in their definition of the word abandoned. However I doubt the intention of the ordinance was to trample on anyone's civil rights. The Council passed it because Alexandria has a problem with abandoned cars. Hundreds of cars have been removed and towed without incident since they passed this ordinance. I, for one, like the idea of the city finally enforcing codes and cleaning up the streets. If the ordinance needs to be refined, they should refine it.
The problem with enforcement is that code enforcement does not post notice as they should and make a seizure as they should (under law) through APD which then records the towing incident and location of the towed vehicle. I had a car towed, reported it stolen, found it myself after 4 months after cars had been stacked on top and all sides damaged only to have code enforcement tell me that they impounded it, I had storage fees, and they had more power than the police and could do as they damn well pleased. A cancelled check to me for the amount of my loss and them paying any and all fees associated with the incident prove that they did not really know what they were talking about as Ms. Sylvester should know and will find out as they incur more liability for trespass and illegal seizure. Out of compassion and the hope that he got the message, I did not file charges against the code enforcement officer for trespass and resulting auto theft under state law. I will be happy to instruct anyone how to proceed against the city with a similar complaint as their arrogance continues to exceed their legal knowledge and recent experience.
Jacques,
Ask Stacey Auzenne about improper vehicle seizures by code enforcement and what can happen. A class action is going to look real bad and be extremely costly as well as some of your folks with the city going to jail. Kelvin laughed when I cautioned him about incurring liability for the city with improper procedures. We may soon see who has the last laugh.
It seems that Jacque has inherited a situation where the inmates have been running the asylum their way. Every way he turns he has or will have a mess to clean up caused by Council, City employees and "great legal" minds that think being an Assistant City Attorney is a stepping stone in a career path leading to the position og "God".
All a person has to do is watch PB Sylvester in action to realize she enjoys weilding power and sees herself as the final authority. How can an Assistant City Attorney be an unbiased arbiter in an affair that has a citizen opposed to City actions.
Roy would do well to take a hard look at her and see if he can suffer through the numerous civil actions she has and will be the root cause off.
She fails to understand that her PB appproach to a situation precludes professional intercourse as to resolving a matter.
Junkyard Joe:
Just curious, in case I missed it, what does "PB" stand for?
One down, one to go. Sanjaya is gone. Piyush is next.
Jaques is going to appear as a clairvoyant genius when Boasso switches parties. Damn that boy is good!
A politically incorrect term for one of the female gender on a power trip that demonstrates castration tendencies when dealing with those of the male gender.
One of the words is a name for a female of the canine specie.
A buzzword for those females that demonstrate an attack mode against anyone, most especialy male, that challenges the PB's decisions or their interpretation of situations. Any challenge is viewed as an affront to them as an individual and and attack against their position and must be defended at all cost.
Typical reactions include allegations of illegality, threats, name calling, etc.
Spouse of PB's normally are introverted "yes dears."
Typical end results of the PB's actions, decisions and conclusions, once intelligent individuals are involved, are a determination that the PB, blinded by power, has violated the rights of the many resulting in penalties of various nature against the employer.
As a P>S> before someone starts a dialog about attacking the Sylvester. Spanky, a respected contributor and a voice of reason had this to say concerning her: "...they did not really know what they were talking about as Ms. Sylvester should know and will find out as they incur more liability for trespass and illegal seizure."
If his opinion is this and he has bested her on this same subject one would think she would have learned from the experience. Apparently not because she is defending the City's position in this incident. Instead of advising and reworking the ordances she plods along seeking to prove the City right. No matter how much she desires power she is not mightier than the laws of the land, most especisally the Constitution - seems as though she would realize that.
I think her actions, inter-actions and advise is going to cost the City more and more as the affected population realizes she is violating their rights.
1. Code Enforcement takes it on themselves, without a court order, to enter private property to sieze private property. Criminal trespass under state statute - government officials not exempt.
2. Improper authority effecting procedure. City police would operate with an order on private property and with proper posting of notice on the vehicle if on the public street.
3. Property would be properly impounded and recorded as seized by police for future retrieval by owner if done correctly. Other city officials are not proper parties to sieze property.
4. No roster has been maintained in the past as to the location or description of siezed property of which the city police had access to guide citizens to their impounded property.
The point is that there is a body of case law thta the city has totally disregarded and feel that they can pull out of thin air ordinances that are in direct conflict with the Constitution of the United States and established law of our state.
It is one thing to pick up peoples property that are assumed to be slim on resources, so what happens when they pick up a collectors item out of a garage in Landmark? What is the difference other than the financial status of those affected. Bad medicine, plenty bad medicine paleface.
has anyone looked a the cenla media blog lately? she can't shake greg aymond

Spanky, I noted on CenlaMedia that you asserted your independent and fearless nature and refusal to be a victim. Is it true that you were chased out of your previous home by rock-throwing neighbors?
No, as a matter of fact, they avoided me like a bad case of lead poisoning.
Spanky chased out? Never not Superhero Spanky.

Are you saying that I should not be able to discuss my views like all others? Michelle's blog is moderated, therefore she chooses which posts she will allow on her blog or not. Are you saying that she does not have the right to do so? If you disagree with any of my views, instead of making asinine remarks, state your opposing views. Who knows, perhaps one day you will have the honesty to even sign your name to your posts.
Pee Wee was my hero until he got caught with Wee Wee in hand. However, the Pee Wee Wee Wee incident does little to diminish my lust for his Schwinn Flyer. Never in the history of mankind has others lusted to this degree for the property of others. I wonder if the Pee Wee mobile is properly licensed and inspected?
Oh No could Pee Wee be being set up for more emotional shook. First the Pee Wee Wee Wee incident and now the PB Sylvester confiscation posibility power play.
Does a potential political power play by as PB lurk in Pee Wee's future? Stay tuned to find out.
Spanky, I do like Pee Wee but then, I am not the one that professes to be lion-hearted. You must admit that your declaration of unwillingness to be victimized conflicts with the scenario wherein the neighbors ran you and your family out of your house. At least Pee Wee kept his shortcomings under a rain coat.
conflicts with the scenario wherein the neighbors ran you and your family out of your house.
Wow, I must have missed that in the news. Surly a mob of people running a family out of their home, if true, would have made the news?

Students use cell phones all day. They can text without looking at the phone, and then when the teacher turns to write on th board, or help another student, the offending student looks at reads their messages. If a phone does ring in class, it is usually a parent. So, do you think their baby is punished by their parents when hey get caught with phone at school?? NO!!
All high school (and I assume most junior high and elementary students) have cell phones.

My bet is that, after 20 years, they just can't put their hands on it. It's probably filed away in a box somewhere with major dust collecting on it.
If you remember, last year, Albin Provosty couldn't find the Alexandria Housing Authority Charter either.

FROM THE TOWN TALK WEBSITE
Alexandria couple robbed in their home
An investigation is continuing and suspects are being sought in the robbery of an elderly couple Thursday morning, Alexandria Police Detective Lt. Kenneth McCall said.
McCall said the 71-year-old resident on Post Oak Boulevard was taking the garbage out about 6:30 a.m. Thursday when a stranger came up and forced the victim back into his house.
A weapon was used, he said, adding that a more detailed description was not being released at this time.
Once inside the house, the suspect robbed the man and his 69-year-old wife of an undisclosed amount of money and a black Nokia brand cell phone.
The suspect was described as a black male, 25-30 years old, five feet, 11 inches to six feet tall, weighing 180-185 pounds, medium build, medium complexion, wearing a maroon hooded coat and blue jogging pants.
The city council is worried about towing "abandoned" cars, catching people running redlights, and saving $5.00 worth of gas a week by limiting take home vehicles. In the meantime, ruthless packs of thugs are taking over our City. There is no reason that a 71 year old man living on Post Oak who has worked all his life and just wants to enjoy the spoils of his efforts should have to be worried about being robbed when he takes his garbage out to the curb. If the City doesn't figure out how to solve the crime problem, everything else will be moot.

I can and will argue facts with the Bitch. She is famous for defaming character. A character trait that will cost the city dearly. All she can do is defame. But it ain't over till the fat lady sings and if she thinks the average citizens is swcared of her "Power" she is fixing to find out the average Joe doesn't give a shit about what she thins.
And by the way Greg stop sucking up to Sylvester. You ain't going to get a job. Nobody will touch you.
"I can and will argue facts with the Bitch. She is famous for defaming character."
This is a very strong accusation; one can only assume you can substantiate this tirade in great, incontrovertable detail.
zgvjidWhy was Tiffany Sanders fired as assistant city attorney? Is Alaina Meyer black or "other"? So far, I think that Kay Micheils is the only non-southern law graduate in the administration.
If Sylvester would truly desire "justice" she would realize the conflict of interest in being the appeal committee and a City attorney. Certainly she must deny an appeal relative to vehicle confiscations by the City. She is part of the City's legal department and, as such, must defend their actions.
If she was a real lawyer in real life and went before such a kangaroo court she would immediately demand the enforcers of the law be excluded from the appeal process. Is this conflict of interest not apparent. in order for an appeal to be succesul the administration would have to find itself in violation of citizen's rights.
I believe if you check her career she has dined at the public trough since becoming a lawyer. She has been a beaurecrat so long she is not a solution to the problem she is part of the problem.
There is no legally recognized conflict of interest, in situations where a city provides and administrative procedure to review its own matters. Most state and federal agtencies do the same, such as DEQ, Social secrurity, and the same thing happens with traffic tickets in smaller towns and villages. You always have a right to go to court, if you disagree with the administrative decision.
"I believe if you check her career she has dined at the public trough since becoming a lawyer. She has been a beaurecrat so long she is not a solution to the problem she is part of the problem."
Are you sure? I recall her being in private practice before taking the position of Asst. City Attorney about a yeat ago.
Boy those facts just kill you every time.
