On April 18th, 2011 Mayors from across St Tammany Parish were asked by the Tammany Together Associaton to attend a public meeting; the forum was graciously attended by:

• Mayor Freddy Drennan – Slidell, LA
• Mayor Donald Villere – Mandeville, LA
• Mayor Peter Gitz – Madisonville, LA
• Mayor Candice Watkins – Covington, LA
• Mayor Louis Fitzmorris – Abita Springs, LA

This is part 3 of the 3 part video, which I had to break up due to its length… In this series, one conscientious citizen asks the question; "With all of the growth in the Parish happening in the un-incorporated areas; how is this affecting growth in the incorporated areas?" And in this particular segment Mayor Villere of Mandeville and Mayor Watkins of Covington have the microphone. Hope you enjoy.

Thank You

On April 18th, 2011, The Tammany Together Association asked 5 St Tammany Mayors to attend an informal question and answer session. In this particular video all 5 Mayors are taped answering the question… “What aspect of their job do they feel is the most misunderstood by the public?”, With the caveat; “How do the Mayors get along with their city councilman?”

I was able to attend and video tape this Meeting of the Mayors, and was thoroughly impressed with their forward thinking, dynamic ideas. Hope you enjoy.

Thank You

On April 18th, 2011, the Tammany Together Association corralled 5 Mayors from Cities across St Tammany Parish. In this segment the question is asked to the panel; “What advice would you give to a person who was new and running for Mayor?

Our 5 Mayors: seated from left to right…

• Candice Watkins; Mayor of Covington, LA
• Donald Villere; Mayor of Mandeville, LA
• Peter Gitz; Mayor of Madisonville, LA
• Louis Fitzmorris; Mayor of Abita Springs, LA
• Freddy Drennan; Mayor of Slidell, LA

I was able to video tape this great meeting and get a chance to get close to these representatives of my home parish. In this light each one seemed much more personable, or maybe it was just my imagination or possibly just my preconceptions… Who knows? Regardless I listened to many different view points during the course of the evening and disgested what I felt was good information, therefore I am sharing this discussion. This particular video is longer than many of the others, however it contains all 5 Mayors answering this one question, so I felt there was a little leeway… Hope you enjoy.

Thank You
