File this one away 

Discussing Harry Lee's successor, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand, T-P columnist Stephanie Grace says:

It's just as well. Normand doesn't have his old boss's quirky personality, his quick tongue or his obvious love of the game.

He's unlikely to sue random politicians because he's annoyed, as Lee did on several occasions with then-state Rep. David Vitter, now a U.S. senator.


Umm, wow. Apparently Grace isn't aware of certain rumors. Does she really think Lee "randomly" sued Vitty-cent? And how does she know that Vitty never "annoyed" Normand, either? Wouldn't Lee's "right hand man" also know the dark secrets about Vitter that Lee threatened to reveal? Perhaps Normand knows those "dark secrets" more intimately than Lee.

YRHT endorsed Newell Normand for Sheriff here.

I spoke with someone on the JPSO and asked his opinion about who he wanted to be his next boss. He chose Normand.

When it came down to it, he said that Normand would keep all the good things Harry Lee did and eliminate the questionable activities.

That was good enough for me.

I'll bet you Harry left those secrets with someone who knew how to use them. We can only hope.

I would concur with what you heard Daniel. Only time will tell.
