Raceland felon caught with narcotics, firearm<br />
A known felon was arrested<br />
after he was caught<br />
with drugs and a firearm<br />
during a traffic stop on<br />
Monday, October 29. Ricky<br />
J. Trosclair, 25, of 2861<br />
Highway 1 in Raceland,<br />
faces several new charges<br />
following Monday’s arrest.<br />
Through investigation,<br />
the <strong>Lafourche</strong> Parish Drug<br />
Task Force learned<br />
Trosclair possibly had drugs<br />
in his possession, and he<br />
also had an active warrant<br />
for his arrest for violation of<br />
parole and a suspended driver’s<br />
license.<br />
At around 10:45 a.m.<br />
on Monday, narcotics<br />
agents spotted Trosclair<br />
driving a black Lincoln MKZ<br />
in the Raceland area.<br />
When agents initiated a<br />
traffic stop and approached<br />
Trosclair, he gave agents a<br />
false identity.<br />
An officer from the<br />
Louisiana Department of<br />
Probation and Parole was<br />
called to the scene and<br />
identified the driver as<br />
Golden Meadow<br />
Mayor<br />
Joey<br />
Bouziga<br />
Candidate for<br />
re-election - #63<br />
My Dear Friends,<br />
I come before you once more seeking your support in my bid for<br />
re-election as your mayor. Thirty-one years ago you honored me<br />
by electing me as one of your councilmen. I served you as Councilman<br />
for nineteen years and have served as your mayor for the<br />
last twelve years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> thirty-one years of experience in municipal government and<br />
the successful accomplishments of my administration qualifies<br />
me to continue serving you as mayor. Under my leadership the<br />
administration for the town has worked together to achieve many<br />
goals.<br />
Projects totaling $19,303,582.00 are listed below:<br />
- Administration $2,218,986.00<br />
- Street and Drainage Improvements $4,589,078.00<br />
- Pump Station repairs and upgrades $977,300.00<br />
- Park and Pool upgrades and repairs $725,500.00<br />
- Police overtime grants $51,189.00<br />
- Sewer Projects (Phase III & Phase IV) $3,344,158.00<br />
- Street Resurfacing (Road Sales Tax) $7,397,371.00<br />
In 2004 the Town of Golden Meadow was selected the Cleanest<br />
City in Louisiana for its population. One additional project for<br />
the Town is the sale of the Natural Gas Department. By selling<br />
the gas system we have not only saved $5,000,000.00 in funds to<br />
refurbish the system, but have brought savings of up to fifty percent<br />
to the citizens who purchased natural gas.<br />
I have endeavored to administer the Office of Mayor with honesty<br />
and integrity. I am proud of the improvements in our town these<br />
past years and am excited about what the next four years can<br />
provide for all of us.<br />
I ask for your continued support and consideration for my reelection<br />
as mayor based on my past performance, credibility, and<br />
experience administering municipal government.<br />
With deep appreciation,<br />
I remain,<br />
Joey Bouziga, #63<br />
