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 />
