You aren't electing a sheriff anymore. The sheriff has been quite ready to go. You are actually electing a crappy warden and crappy CFO needing enough years for them to retire. What a shame. The arrogance downtown needs to go. But alas, stay lazy Lafayette......stay lazy. You sure as hell kept Kenny Bowen around forever and look how well THAT worked out for you. The I-49 corridor was SUCH a success. - Some dude who knows Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:56:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21458 I don't know Mr. Chargois, but I have had the distaste of witnessing the iniquities of the Neustrom adminstration. Mr. Nesutrom walks to church each day he is at work and that is what most people see. A man of high standards, who ran a grass roots campaign in 2000 and has an easy ride the last twelve years because of his perceived image. That is the illusion he wants to portray and I think most would be shocked to learn the truth about his administarton. I don't know the man personally and for that reason I will not question is faith, but I do know several of his political appointees and I hope each time he walsk to church he is atleast asking for forgiveness for the inqities he has brought upon the people of Lafayette through his administration. He fired one of his original political appointees for having an affair with an employee out of fear that it would hurt his image, but has kept others around for engaging it much more alarming behavior. He is not accessible to the people and if he is in his office more than fifteen hours a week I would be surprised. Of course, since it is election time I expect him to be acting like the Sheriff and spending more time in the office and less time taking trips with his wife on the tax payer dime. I recognize that Mr. Neustrom meets the residence qualifications to run for Sheriff despite the fact that he lived out of Louisiana for several years. Sadly though, he is hardly qualified to serve as the chief law enforcement of this parish. He has skated by and covered up more scandles then "Tricky Dick". Mr. Chargois, if you are reading this, I recognize the service you have provided to the citizens of this state and welcome a change. No one should have a free ride simply because they have skated by for a period of time. - Dan Dennett Mon, 29 Aug 2011 12:17:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21450 "Say what" are you implying that Mr. Chargois doesn't meet the residency qualifications to run for Sheriff? I would be interested in knowing what you are insinuating. - John Q Public Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:07:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21448 Say what, Shut up ! As ragin-cajun says... you be honest and straight-fore and you're labeled semi-literate, hate-mongrel, you go with the alternative realist and you are in the stupid clique. How to win ? I've never learned the Queens Rules and I've never lost one. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Mon, 29 Aug 2011 07:05:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21439 NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN, you write in on regular basis spewing semi literate half witticisms. You have a lot of nerve and no right to tell someone to shut up for doing what you do on a regular basis: give their opinion. OK must have touched a nerve of truth with you. Since that is the case, you, PGF, and Rick vote for Rick. The rest of the parish will vote for Neustrom. Now you tighten up and be civil. - Say what?

Now when you grow up you'll be able to cast your vote for whoever you want in office, until then tighten up and SHUT UP. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sat, 27 Aug 2011 01:11:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21382 Looks like three votes for Ricky Boy. PGF, SHOTGUN, and himself. You go NORTHSIDIAN! - OK Fri, 26 Aug 2011 13:51:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21360 Ricky , you don't get it they don't want change its a Good Ole Boy setup and the Administration and the Drunk Red-faced Bald head fatso's on their Golf Carts ride again through Rivah Raunch, the wild west, on their plastic steeds with their "RED DIXIE CUPs, what a show. We don't want to change the two-side modo way of life. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 26 Aug 2011 07:56:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21301 Well, at least Ricky Boy will have two votes: PGF and his own. - OK Thu, 25 Aug 2011 05:45:26 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21294 Well all the gooney looneys who need to keep the lid on the can will group and blockade the polls against Chargois, aw why would you want to put the cronys in danger and sacrifice the inbred chirin and hang them out to dry when everything is all hunky dory, A-OK. Aw., we'll have all the cronys in the courthouse with charges. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Wed, 24 Aug 2011 23:17:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21291 I'm so happy this man is running for Sheriff. I worked under him after he left the state police and he was such an incredible boss to have. More than that, he's just an incredible person of high morals and that is something that is one of the core traits needed for anyone in the law enforcement community. I'm proud to call him my friend and I can't wait to watch him succeed. - PGF Wed, 24 Aug 2011 19:36:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21283 The press release says Big Rick retired in 2004 and that he is a life long resident of Acadiana. OK, then what has he been doing for the past seven years? How about filling the public in on that? WHERE in Acadiana does he live now and for how long? Where DID he live in Acadiana? Lets get all the info and facts out there if this former trooper, retired since 2004, wants to receive votes for chief law enforcement officer of Lafayette Parish. - Say what? Wed, 24 Aug 2011 17:03:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8898-chargois-challenging-neustrom-for-sheriff#comment-21276 Chargois isn't running to win because he knows that he cannot beat a sheriff and man the caliber of Mike Neustrom. He is running to establish name recognition for when Mike Neustrom decides to retire. Chargois will then have a leg up on any competition. That being said, what Lafayette Parish does not need is another retirement job haven for retired state police like it was under Don Breaux. Should Chargois ever become sheriff, that is was Lafayette Parish has to look forward to. Again. - That's the way it is. Wed, 24 Aug 2011 15:26:43 +0100
