What do Jacques Roy and the Vancouver Olympic Torch have in common?

Neither reach their full potential and both end in a fiery blaze.

Ideologically speaking, there is a c*** hair's difference between Mayor Roy and Myron Lawson or Ed Larvadain. Hell, Jacques is probably more liberal since he's against stuff like baggy pants laws and is pushing this multi-million dollar tax-payer financed Stockyard public housing flop against black residents' wishes.

THe Mayor and the City Council are a JOKE PERIOD.
This area is a laughing stock.
Name other cities in this state that have a river flowing through the middle of it that do not have some development along that river to draw people and businesses to that area,...think about it. This damn town will not do anything without some kind of Federal aid and then that is only for a select group. Wake up Alexandria.

2010-02-12T11:03:57.459-06:00

Completely agree with the last message. Don't Kill the Messenger. Rather educate me on the success of this Administration. In Mayor Roy's "State of the City" report he delivered in December, he felt that "the way that we do business in the city of alexandria" was one of his greatest accomplishments. He certainly is entitiled to feel that way. However, after 3 years in office most would hope for more. Cleco is still unresolved, hotels lay idle, and most important according to his own IACP report Violent Crime for 2009 "looks to be equal to the 2005 spike" So violent crime in alexandria is worse now than when he came in office. Other sources state Alexandria is safer than 2% of the cities in the U.S. and that we rank 6th nationally compared to 300 other metropolitan areas in violent crime.

2010-02-12T10:03:42.328-06:00

I agree with the poster about the "KILL THE MESSENGER" mentality. I also take note that Mr. Coco has not gotten into any name calling, but most of the pro-Roy posters on here have derided Mr. Coco rather than defending Mayor Roy. Look at the post just above this one. Typical loser? Let's focus on the message. Let's focus on the problem. Or, if you don't think we have problems, please educate me as to why the Roy administration has been a success.

2010-02-12T07:28:46.811-06:00

Steve Coco likes the sound of his own voice. He also likes the look of his face in the mirror. He is just full of himself. I agree, he is a typical loser of this town and has been for long time.

You're all so self righteous, so important in your own mind. You're way is the right way. Oh, but let one thing you don't agree with happen and it's all hands on deck because you're special, you're somebody and this shouldn't happen to you. You know people, don't they know who you are?
You are a typical loser of this town that has the BIG head!

2010-02-11T21:25:46.611-06:00

"This is not the first city administration that had problems at times with the distribution of our utility bills. Get over it."

That statement is the core of what is wrong with this city. Roy supporters are just more of the same.

Yeah! Of what juicy tid-bit are you the messenger?...

Yeah! Of what juicy tid-bit are you the messenger? Sound like your the mouthpiece of a few seniors with a little to mucht ime on their hands. Get real loser. You're no messenger. You're just a gossip.

2010-02-11T18:06:38.806-06:00

That's why this area is the way it is, KILL THE MESSENGER!
Why doesn't any polititian understand, just do what is right, do it for the people, quit using your office to make yourself bigger than you really are.
If one polititian would do this, they would never have to worry about re-election.
But, back to reality....

2010-02-11T17:59:19.401-06:00

I can't think of ONE thing that Steve Coco has ever done that makes him qualified to be the Mayor of Alexandria. Just showing for a news program and excepting a punity paycheck for years just doesn't cut it. Think about it people. P.S. This is not the first city administration that had problems at times with the distribution of our utility bills. Get over it.

2010-02-11T17:06:36.833-06:00

All Coco said was that his bill was high and didnt like it. Nobody does. How does that make him a jerk? Roy gets his panties in a wad if Coco breathes wrong. The citizens are the ones that have been calling in complaining about late, or no bills at all.

Maybe Steve Coco should run for Mayor. I promise ...

2010-02-11T17:00:34.831-06:00

Maybe Steve Coco should run for Mayor. I promise that given the choice of Jaques Roy or Von Jennings, I would have to choose Roy.

2010-02-11T13:29:30.705-06:00

Mr. Coco, I have a suggestion. This was a very popular post and it's obviously because citizens have concerns about their local government. Would you consider an open post on the Roy administration? Then we could just discuss the success and failures of the Roy administration. Afterall, we should be about the message and not the messenger. It would be a great public service! You could call it:

Open Thread on Roy Administration or

Roy Administration: Yea or Nay? or

Name 3 good things that have happened in Alexandria since 2006 or

What bothers you most about Alexandria and why? or

Who thinks their flood insurance isn't going up and who is to blame for that? or

Will Versailles Boulevard Ext. ever be completed? or

Who's excited about SPARQ and issuing bonds to pay for it? or

Will you live to see the final settlement of the Cleco deal?

These are just a few examples. :-D

2010-02-11T13:07:24.290-06:00

The jerk posts have nothing at all to do with Jacques Roy, Lamar White or Ken Juneau. Why Steve would delete that is beyond me. It's as though he lives for controversy.

2010-02-11T12:23:19.060-06:00

All of you need something better to do. If you don't like the way things are going in our city, then get out and work to change it. I think that the owners of KSYL are not helping this city one bit. They are just providing a place where all the nuts out there can sprew there venoum

2010-02-11T10:57:54.291-06:00

Why does it not surprise me that every commentary in this area degenerates to an elementary level with no one discussing real solutions? Egomania destroys the fabric of society and makes no room for civil discourse while to assert etiquette is important is akin to howling at a hurricane.

2010-02-11T08:23:32.814-06:00

What a shame. Roy was such a good candidate to have become such an arrogant and incapable administrator. Clearly we did not want more of the Randolph group so we did the right thing but now maybe we better rethink the deal.

When someone runs their mouth spewing misinformation you're darn right Jacques should clear it up. It took all of 45 mins. Gimme a break. "drop everything"? Pssshh. Not for nothing but Coco is a FOUNTAIN OF MISINFORMATION. If he wants to think that his beef with the mayor of Alex is the only reason someone would have a bad thing to say about him...he need to take a good long look in the mirror. Jerk4Life

@Anon posting that coco is a jerk

He's not the issue, but let's assume that you are right and he is a jerk. The issue is that we have a mayor who dropped everything and drove to the radio station within an hour of Mr. Coco commenting about his utility bill. This is the kind of freak you want in charge of your money? NOT ME! If Mr. Coco runs, he has my vote.
