Depicting Jared “Burger” Beiriger as a developer with former ties to Quality Engineering, and a supporter of Corey Orgeron and Murphy Painter, a third-party mail piece hit mailboxes in Council District 9 yesterday. One of the fattest hogs at Ascension’s trough, Beiriger squealed like a pig (think Ned Beatty in Deliverance) on social media, whining […]
Even Kenny Matassa has turned on Murphy Painter
08/25/2023 by
EDITOR’s WARNING: While what follows is probably a complete waste of my (and certainly your) time, it is one of the guilty pleasures we cannot resist. Deflating the festering pustule disfiguring Ascension’s body politic, i.e. exposing Murphy Painter for the sniveling, whining, whimpering grievance machine that he is, it’s one of our things. His continued […]

Murphy Painter adds Meme Guy to his enemies list (buckle up)
08/14/2023 by
Certain guys, lacking basic social skills necessary for comfortable interaction in the social media milieu, where rules of engagement are tacitly accepted by voluntary participation, never get the joke. Fans of Ascension Parish Department of Memes appreciate its often acerbic, always irreverent, take-it-or-leave and the Meme Guy could, very literally, not care less content. Candidate for […]
23 years later, the Vessel family remembers those cherished loved ones lost
03/11/2022 by
23 years ago this week tragedy visited a family in the City of Gonzales, and every one of its citizens when Shon Miller, Sr. murdered four people at a local church. As dark a day as any in local history, the victims were Miller’s wife and 2-year old son, and his mother-in-law. Senseless horror which […]
Citizen’s “smoking gun” exposes Lawler’s “bum deal” to approve Oak Grove Townhomes
07/16/2021 by
Willow Lake Subdivision’s lakes continue to suffer intrusion of silt from Oak Grove Townhomes‘ development to the north. A regrettable situation which should never have occurred…and would not have if Dantin Bruce Development, LLC was a better corporate neighbor and Willow Lakes’ elected representative had not engineered its plat approval. Councilman Aaron Lawler was called […]
Commissioner Ken Firmin changes vote to approve (once denied) Delaune Estates
07/15/2021 by
What has changed since Antebellum Pointe subdivision was denied by a 4-3 vote of Ascension’s Planning Commission on March 11, 2020? Enough to garner approval of the re-branded Delaune Estates, the same 237 lots planned west of Hwy 73, south of White Road in Prairieville. A roomful of residents went home unhappy on Wednesday when the one-vote denial […]
Bill Roux: “Drainage should be a department…under the Parish President”
06/28/2021 by
Bill Roux was brought on to head up Ascension Parish’s Department of Public Works by his friend, and newly-inaugurated President Harold Marchand in 2000.

Lawler’s version of events means someone is NOT telling the truth
06/25/2021 by
NOTE: EA Drainage’s Vice Chairman, Chase Melancon claims to have known nothing about the effort to oust President Clint Cointment as de facto Drainage Director while Councilman Aaron Lawler claims to have been working on it for 3.5 years. Someone is not telling the truth. Lawler’s social media post from yesterday: Professionals, not Politicians. Drainage […]
A tough night for Melancon as Commission holds firm on Riverton and Buzzard Roost
06/11/2021 by
“If you actually watch the (March 9, 2016) meeting it’s not confusing at all,” assured Planning Commissioner Aaron Chaisson about Riverton Subdivision’s 780-lot preliminary plat approval. “I don’t know why we’re even discussing it.” Riverton’s developer, the Grady Melancon-owned SLC, LLC, was still negotiating with the parish on the morning of the plat’s consideration five years ago, ultimately […]
