[StBernard] Clerk of Court follow up

[Westley Annis]

Jer.....you know exactly who is running the show as does anyone that has
dealings with the Clerk's office on a continuous basis.

You say "archaic" - I say "antiquated" - either way..OLD AND OUTDATED!  
She did have her records electronically stored JUST prior to the storm.  St.
Bernard residents should be thanking the good Lord for that.  But, I don't
think it was by her choice.  I think the parish counsel had a lot of
persuading with that.

Well, now is the time for change.  St. Bernard has the chance to make a
fresh start and "clean house."  We need professional leadership in the
Clerk's office along with some new innovative ideas..starting with a
website, new computers in that office, and public access to documents via
the internet..there is a HUGE surplus for the Clerk's office right now.
That money needs to be put to good use.

Everyone needs to do their part in moving St. Bernard forward.  The first
step is voting.  If you don't vote, you lose your right to complain.  The
election is October 20th and St. Bernard residents need to get out and vote.
