Charlotte Bollinger Governor PBJ Thanks Bollinger Family for $$$ With An Appointment by: ryan Mon Jan 05, 2009 at 14:04:25 PM CST The news came today that Governor PBJ has appointed one of his major campaign contributors to the Board of Regents. That campaign contributor is Mrs. Charlotte Bollinger: Donor Address Date Amount of Donation Charlotte Bollinger P.O. Box 250 Lockport, LA 10/15/2003 $1,000 Bollinger Fourchon Inc. P.O. Box 250 Lockport, LA 10/15/2003 $4,000 Bollinger Fourchon Inc. P.O. Box 250 Lockport, LA 11/7/2003 $1,000 Bollinger Fourchon Inc. P.O. Box 250 Lockport, LA 11/7/2003 $1,000 Charlotte Bollinger P.O. Box 250 Lockport, LA 5/11/2007 $250 Charlotte Bollinger P.O. Box 250 Lockport, LA 6/11/2007 $1,000 TOTALS $8,250 The donations from Bollinger Fourchon Inc. are included, as they are from the same P.O. Box as the donations from Mrs. Charlotte Bollinger, which leads me to believe that she controls the pursestrings of Bollinger Fourchon Inc. Of course, Mrs. Charlotte Bollinger is of the Bollinger family, the ones who own and run Bollinger Shipyards and various subsidiaries, which donated an additional $22,000 to Governor PBJ's gubernatorial campaigns in 2003 and 2007. Seems to be that in order to get an appointment to any board that the Governor controls, one needs to donate substantial sums of money. Discuss :: (0 Comments)
