I was in Victor's this morning sitting next the to the big table where the gossipers meet ever Friday. Today's topic was the next local elections and who was running for what seat. According to the local know it alls, here's the talk.
Taylor Barras - Parish President, Representative

Simone Champagne - Parish President, Representative
Hilda Curry - Mayor, Parish President, Senate
Freddie Decourt - Mayor, Parish President, Senate
David Ditch - Mayor Pro Temp, Parish Council
Dan Doerle - Mayor Pro Temp, Parish Council
Jerome Fitch - Representative
Naray Hulin - Representative
Jeff Landry - Senate
Tommy Landry - Parish Council, Senate
Shane Romero - Mayor Pro Temp, Representative, Judge
Therese Segura - Parish Council
Many want Barras to be Parish President. Some thought it should be Decourt or maybe Hilda but they've heard Caffery's name and thought he'd be good too.
The talk for Senate was Decourt against Hebert or a rematch between Hebert and Jeff Landry. Tommy Landry also seems to be interested in running against Hebert.
Some said that Romero is up for a rematch with Barras for Representative but that he'd look at Judge since some have mandatory retirement.
Doerle is looking at Mayor Pro Temp when Decourt is gone but Ditch might be a candidate.
Fitch and Hulin could be candidates against Champagne for Representative.
If Tommy Landry runs for Senate look for Segura to run for his Parish Council seat.

As for the 11 more years in office, I don't doubt that. He only won by the slimmest of margins so he can't afford to make any mistakes. That's why he voted against the pay raise even though he supported it. But by the time reelection comes around, he will have plenty of time to have the State appropriate funds (our taxes) Continued "

You do not have to be a Senator Hebert supporter, newsflash though, he will be around for the next 11 years.
You are feckless with your post.
No more comments...you fail to appreciate facts. "

"Frank Rizzo" still ill-informed, distorting facts and lacking credibility. Your post are so amusing.
Stop obsessing over Senator Hebert, get a life. "

And your name is??
Do you see any other monikers on this board??
I have read the articles, I have talked to Gordon, and I have talked to Troy. I would invite you to drive out to Coteau road and watch the excavator digging and EXPANDING INTO IBERIA PARISH!! Lol "
To Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 16, 2008 8:39 PM:
"Frank Rizzo" it appears you are delusional again...I DO NOT work for Senator Hebert.
Everyone now understands why you hide behind a moniker...lack of knowledge & credibility. Please educate on the issue at hand, try reading for a start. "
To Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 16, 2008 8:15 PM:
Why is it so hard for you to comprehend that Judge Caldwell DID NOT rule the "law" unconstitutional. It will probably proceed all the way to the supreme court if necessary.
Gordon's Landfill is closed in St. Martin Parish although he is still operational bringing construction & debris to another facility. He CANNOT EXPAND, he does not have proper permits (local or state)and unlikely won't until ALL litigation is complete. Continued... "

And to C.G. you say that I am one-sided and bias because I heard Moon make a fool out of Troy on the air? You work for Troy, is that not one-sided and bias? "
Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 16, 2008 12:01 PM:
Whether you agree with it or not here is what happened. The judge ruled that Troy Hebert's bill was going after only one local business and ruled it unconstitutional. This caused The council to realize they don't have a leg to stand on in their lawsuit against the landfill, so they contacted Gordon and asked to settle out of court. Now the landfill is not only operational BUT IS EXPANDING INTO THE PARISH!! Continued "

"Frank Rizzo" there is allegedly a personal vendetta on your part against Senator Hebert. "
To Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 15, 2008 11:33 AM:
Senator Hebert, Representative Champagne & Representative Mills had the courage, unlike Representative Barras, to fight for the "will of the people."
No more comments; too one-sided, bias & lacking credibility C. G. "
To Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 15, 2008 11:20 AM:
Commenting on Moon tells everyone you are one-sided and bias.
As for Jeff Landry, he needs to accept responsibility for his actions. He appeared foolish in his interview with the House Committee! Again, the vote was 9-3. He needs to stop whining, start working & get a life although he is not interested in building his law practice...his words!
"Frank Rizzo" you apparently are still ill-informed, one-sided, distorting the truth & lack substance.
You are giving Senator Hebert ABSOLUTE POWER!! "
To Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 15, 2008 10:56 AM:
Did you read the article that was published in the Daily Iberian on Sept. 26th? District Judge Caldwell issued a "preliminary injunction;" he has no jurisdiction on the permitting process. "
Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 14, 2008 8:55 PM:
Here is three cases where Senator Hebert has gone after personal vendettas towards people (two of which are constituents) who have openly opposed him.
Now you, mystery person, will no doubt respond with something like I still lack substance, or am ill-informed, yadda, yadda, yadda, but these are facts, and these are why I am not voting for Troy. "
Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 14, 2008 8:41 PM:
Because this law was ruled unconstitutional by Caldwell, the Parish Council began contacting Gordon about settling their lawsuit out of court. Realizing that they were fixing to lose a 65 million dollar lawsuit, last Wednesday the Parish Council voted to settle their suit with Gordon, making Troy and his vindictive law look foolish.
And finally the king of ethics, (Troy Hebert) used his influence in the Senate Continued "
Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 14, 2008 8:28 PM:
Next Troy went after Gordon's landfill citing that he was representing the Airport and their Aviation Administration. However the airport still does business with Gordon's landfill which tells me that they are not too upset about their current agreement. He was successful in getting his buddies in the Senate to vote for his bill temporarily closing Gordon down. Continued "
Frank Rizzo wrote on Oct 14, 2008 8:19 PM:
Here's some substance. Troy's first bill as a State Senator was to try and silence Moon Griffon because Moon had the audacity to support Jeff Landry, (how dare he oppose Troy Hebert). Before the election Troy called Moon's show to try and defend himself and Moon caught Troy in a lie. Troy said that as representative he never did vote to increase our taxes. Continued "

You don't have to be a Senator Hebert supporter but be careful associating with "Frank Rizzo"...no substance and ill-informed.
Senator Hebert has an abundance of support, that is why he has the title of SENATOR in front of his name! "

Save your tips, once again you are ill-informed, the courts HAVE NOT thrown out the "law"...you don't know.

I will give you a tip though, Troy knows me personally, and I am informed when it comes to the landfill debacle. Why was it not reported that the judge through his law out of court? How would I know about that?
As for my posts having "substance" they must have because they sure do have you pretty fired up. "

It's apparent you are egocentric to believe you are "well informed." Although you are entitled to your opinion, none of your post have substance. Your "envy" of Senator Hebert has provided entertainment for all forum readers.
Opposition is healthy, qualify, everyone can use a good laugh. My vote is for Senator Hebert! He would chew you up & spit you out during a debate; ask Jeff Landry...whose still whining. "
