Report Inappropriate Comments

What is surprising to me is the back door politics that appear to have gone into the making of this "decision." I agree with you, Mr. Baillargeron, that the Council has a lawful responsibility under our Constitution, to allow citizens to be heard in the public forum of a town council meeting. I watched the so called open meeting. These potential business owners were blindsided by the Council. And to dismiss them in such an inappropriate way, with no explanation? To me, this smacks of dirty dealings and greasy palms. It appears that the good ole boys network is alive and thriving in the Town of Warren. I most certainly won't bring my business into such a corrupt town.

He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
