A good friend of his was Ronnie Mentel, he owned an large electrical firm in NO and had tons of money and close friends with Lambert. Butch never would have had the money to start all those shopping malls on his own. Ronnie Hand the lawyer was also big player along with "Cuddlwes McClain (real estate) and believe me Gus Schultz and some of his dealings I would check into John Pierce

- Bamagirl : Isabella's Pizzeria II is on the other end from Izumi's. Oh man, everything I've tried there has been soooo good! The south west chicken wrap made two meals for me. The pizza has fast become our favorite. While the inside is a nice place to relax, I adore that they deliver.
- Bamagirl : Izumi's is wonderful! If you like Japanese food they do it well. Prices aren't bad either
- Bamagirl : Thought I'd pass along two places we've enjoyed lately.

- Greta : Guest 2352 I've donenothing but expressed the outrage everyone else has in writing. At least I am not afraid to stand for what I believe.
- Guest_2352 : this is not a threat - this is a TRUE warning - be careful who you piss off around here and who you talk bad about b/c St Tammany really is very mayberry in many ways, so just be careful
- Guest_4958 : Mandeville was a great place before Eddie Price and will be a great place after him because of the character of the people who live here. Show me one place where politicians have made life better. They can only make things worse. I hate the "after me therefor because of me" mentality of politicians. Most of the time the truth is "after me, despite me."
- Guest_889 : I feel particularly connected to you. NOLA is my second home, discovered after three years as a Katrina volunteer -- I travel, with a group of 100+ students from Centenary College in NJ each January, to help with the rebuilding effort. But the closer connection has been my friendship with Zach Gibbon, Debra Gibbon's incredible oldest son. I met him somewhat accidentally, having been "assigned" him as my personal trainer at a gym in Hackettston, NJ. I had been a Red Cross volunteer at Ground

- Guest_40 : she's lived here for a year and a half and thinks she's already an expert on the whole new orleans area - she hasn't gotten a clue
- Baileigh Levee : To Greta, It is so sad that you believe you should sit in judgement. Eddie Price, as well as his family, are some of the finest people I have ever met. When I first came to Mandeville I fell in love with the city, and I think that is large in part to the works of Mayor Price. I think it is such a shame that people in this day will read articles and a believe it to be the absolute truth. The truth is it was a mistake, and guess what everyone is allowed those in life. I hope that one day yo
- Greta : Done NOladder

- Guest_561 : I fail to see what someones cutural background has to do with their cooking skills. It's to bad guest 3347 that you didn't like your meal. But the point of this website is to focus on the positive and not be negitive.

You absolutely can !!!! Never doubt it. People have power to change the state of affairs they may have been accepting of, believing they had no power. People have to be informed of the facts, pushed into action as a united force & encouraged politicians work for them, & most definitely they have a voice that will get heard if they demand it.
Sure. You’ll win; but they’ll just ignore that inconvenient fact. Ask the firefighters.
