Tammany Together Encourages Parish Residents to Attend
As announced in the local newspapers, the Parish Council decided this year to discuss the proposed 2012 budget with each department. This is very different from past years. These meetings are open to the public and are a great opportunity to learn about how your tax dollars are spent. It is only by getting involved that you can have an impact on the future of the Parish.
Because the time available for each department to discuss its budget is short, it will not be possible for the public to ask questions at these meetings. However, there will be a public hearing on the budget at the Council meeting on Thursday, November 3 where you can comment. You can certainly also let your Council representative know your thoughts before then. The contact information for the Council members is at http://www.stpgov.org/leadership_parishcouncil.php.
The proposed 2012 budget is on the Parish website at http://www.stpgov.org/docs/1317254968.pdf.
Please review the schedule below and attend the departmental meetings that interest you. We recommend calling the Parish Council office at 898-2591 to confirm the schedule before attending.

The Council’s Budget Review Committee has given the departments a list of questions to answer. They are available on our website at www.tammanytogether.org/files/2012ParishBudgetQuestions.pdf. The answers will be interesting to hear, as they will give us all a better idea of the workings of our local government.
Please share this information with your friends and neighbors.

I had an opportunity to video the first "Coffee with the Mayor" with new Mayor Mike Cooper. Held at the Covington Trailhead in a relaxed setting; it gave everyone a chance to get to know our Mayor on a more personal level. In this video the Mayor talks about the Columbia Street Block Parties; and how the great events bring revenue into the City for business owners and how he wants to continue on with it's success and build upon it for future growth.
Thank You

Just a little video with Covington, LA's Mayor Mike Cooper. The Covington Office of Economic Development has been changed to the Office of Cultural Affairs and Events with the help of Amy Faucheux. Also the Covington Trailhead is having its annual "Rocking the Rails" free concerts starting this Fall, and these events will be advertised through the City of Covington's webiste and on Facebook too! Hope to see you there. I sure do love the cooler weather during Fall in Louisiana… 🙂
Thank You

This is a short video taken at Mayor Cooper's first "Coffee with the Mayor;" a relaxed and open question and answer type session with Covington's new Mayor. Showing he is available, with an open door policy, Mayor Cooper invites everyone to visit The Covington Museum, open to visitors and citizens alike, this museum portrays some of the culture and history of Covington, as well some of the wondeful features the City has to offer. Check it out. We are working on more videos now.
Thank You

Video of Mayor Mike Cooper's "Coffee with the Mayor." In this video he welcomes everyone to enjoy the benefits of the Covington Trailhead. Several City Councilmen were there this morning; At Large Members Lee Alexius and Sam O'Keefe, as well District D Councilman Larry Rolling. Also there were several members from the Covington Police, Fire and Public Works.
Covington is a warm, (no pun intended… I really do enjoy the humidity…lol) friendly place to live and grow up. Covington has alot of charm and character. A student from old River Forest and a graduate of St Pauls High School, my family and I have lived here for almost 40 years. I can remember when the Pizza Man was on Boston St, next to the record store. OMG! Did I say record? What is that? BTW Eat at the Pizza Man on Collins Blvd! You will not regret it. Awesome food and a very friendly atmosphere. Anyway, check out the video, good Lord willing there are beaucoup more to come.
Thank You
