Dear Sir:

For the past two or so years Channel Two has been very instrumental in aiding me in my efforts to make Ascension Parish roads safer. And for this I thank you. Yet the number of people being killed on Ascension Parish roads is still climbing at an alarming rate.

I personally attribute this horrendous death rate first to the total lack of competent law enforcement in Ascension Parish, and second to the inability of the state and parish to maintain our roads properly. It is for these reasons that I now ask Channel Two to consider implementing an investigation into this matter.

As I previously stated in this letter Channel two has been very supportive in the past and hopefully will agree with me that an investigation into this matter is not only necessary but long over due.

Respectfully,

Chuck Le Mieux
