[StBernard] Clerk of Court follow up

[Westley Annis]

I went through the archives to read most of the transmissions regarding Lena
Torres and her staff.  The staff may come across as unprofessional and rude.
But, that is because they are NOT ALLOWED to socialize with anyone,
including each other.  That office is run like a dictatorship.  I have
witnessed screaming matches in that office, mostly including Lena's
daughter, Lena Torres Nunez.  They talk down to their employees and try to
humiliate them in front of people, not just me.  Start inquiring with legal
staff around the parish and they can tell you the same thing.  That entire
office needs revamping.

As for Lena Torres running an efficient office, that is not true.  Would an
efficient office NOT abide by the law and mandate fax filing or post the
clerk's fees where the public could see them?  Would an efficient office NOT
have a website?  Would an efficient office NOT have access to all public
documents?  Would an efficient office cause original court records to be
lost or destroyed without having duplicates stored somewhere (hard copy or
electronic)?  Would an efficient office NOT have lost important mortgage and
conveyance index records?  What does that subscriber consider efficient?  I
don't consider that efficient at all!

The longer someone is in office, the higher the probability for that person
to become corrupt.  Why do you think that Sidney Torres III is spending so
much money to get his mother back into that office?  I can't wait to see the
Finance Committee reports on the spending.  At this point, I've spent about
$3,500.  The Torreses must have spent over $20,000 to $30,000 at this point
and we are just getting started.  By election time, they will probably spend
over $100,000, for a position that pays less than that.  Ask yourself why
that is.  Why is it so important to keep them in there controlling that
office? 

I'll keep you posted!

Thanks,
Wendy
