oh yeah lol i remember this guy. poncho munch for deano bonano. that phrase we’ve all heard before
POLICE CHIEF
PONCHO MUNCH
- FOR -
DEANO BONANO
I'M WITH
BONANO
During Hurricanes Ike, Gustav and Katrina there was one constant. Deano Bonano was there for Westwego residents every time. As Director of Emergency Management and the head of Jefferson's Homeland Security, Deano instinctively knew the needs of our city.
That's because in his 30+ years of experience in Jefferson Parish government, where he led many critical divisions, Deano not only realized how a parish could help a city in need, but he also knew exactly who at the parish-level could help us most. It was during our darkest days in Westwego that Deano Bonano was our brightest guardian.
I'm supporting Deano for Council because I know how much he can and will help Westwego in every way. I'm asking you to please consider supporting Deano as well!
It's important to Westwego!

I stepped away from my computer for a moment. When I returned, it was building something. I did not ask it to do this. We're not ready for what's coming

Imagine a vast field covered with 3,000 piles of donuts, each the size of the great pyramid. That’s what $40 trillion would buy. Actually maybe 2998 donut piles after you count venue rental fees and deposit
