[StBernard] ST BERNARD COUNCIL TUES !!!!!!!!

[Westley Annis]

2.         Motion to go into Executive Session to discuss complaints filed
by HUD and GNOFHA.  --Why must they go into executive session to discuss
this when it affects the people of the parish?"--Anon-E-Mouse.

Jer Responds:

Simply put, their minds haven't been made up by meeting time.  To avoid
looking and smelling embarrassing, they huddle around a huge long table and
see if any of the minds can come to a conclusion, consensus or agreement. 

To be seen on TV or in front of the public, bewildered, bedazzled and
beheaded as council is one thing the council doesn't want exposed before a
federal or state government or before the New Orleans' Crowd of armpits.

Therefore,  with no planning to confront HUD (Housing for Urban Dwellers
moving into other communities)) and GNOFHA (Good for Nothing Office Failures
of Housing Asinines) are seated into the mix of parish citizens to overhead
the publicans of St. Bernard Parish (the chillin' effect) while "da beat
goes on" in back-room politics.

The parish charter probably gives them the rights to convene or in-convene
at the behest of the majority.

Can't say whether it's anything but a privilege, but if it makes HUD and
GNOFHA more nervous than the parish leaders..

....good!
