Houma Courier:
One of three Terrebonne Parish councilmen who went to Monday night’s Saints game has asked that his pay be docked for the public meetings he missed.
...
The Saints played the New England Patriots in the Superdome Monday. Missing from the council’s five committee meetings, held in Houma that same night, were [Billy] Hebert, Clayton Voisin and Joey Cehan. All submitted letters saying they would be unable to attend because of business commitments.
“I did attend the game with business partners, and we did discuss business,” Hebert said Wednesday. “But obviously business was not our main reason for going to New Orleans. We were there to see the Saints crush the Patriots.
“For that reason, I am tonight volunteering and asking administration to deduct the $25 from my next pay,” he said.
...
“I just got caught up in the Saints fever just like everybody else,” Hebert said.
