VOTE JOHN YOUNG OUTThe Problem
Turn On Your Tap. This Is What Magnolia Water Gave You.
Across St. Tammany Parish and other parts of Louisiana, Magnolia Water customers have watched their bills explode while their service fell apart.
Bills up since Magnolia took over. Boil-water advisories. Brown, discolored water. Pressure that drops to a trickle. Customer service that doesn’t answer.
And Magnolia’s response?
Ask for more. More rate hikes.
More communities to take over — with the Louisiana Public Service Commission’s blessing.
The PSC has the power to stop this.
The question in District 1 is simple: will the next commissioner protect you — or protect Magnolia?
SO WHO'S PROTECTING MAGNOLIA WATER?
Follow the money.
It leads straight to one candidate.
John Young
John Young Took Magnolia Water’s Money.
$7,500 or more through intermediaties—that’s what John Young accepted from Magnolia Water.
He’s running for a seat on the Public Service Commission — the exact board that approves Magnolia’s rate increases and expansion plans. Taking the company’s money while asking to regulate it isn’t a gray area. It’s a conflict of interest in plain sight.
While families fight higher bills and unreliable water, John Young made himself the candidate of the company causing the pain.
HE DIDN'T GET HERE ALONE
Behind every bought candidate is the machine that bought him.
The Machine
Same Machine. Same Insiders. Same Result.
It comes down to one man. One operative — Greg Buisson — speaks for the water company and runs the politics for the commissioner who’s term-limited out. Now that machine needs a replacement who’ll keep the arrangement going.
John Young is that replacement. This isn’t a fresh start for District 1 — it’s a hand-off, designed so nothing changes for Magnolia Water and nothing changes on your bill.
District 1 deserves a commissioner who’ll take on the bad actors — not one the machine installed to protect them.
FOLLOW THE CONNECTION
ONE MAN TIES IT ALL TOGETHER
Same network. Same insiders. Same result for your bill.
THE MACHINE IS COUNTING ON YOU TO STAY HOME ON JUNE 27TH
Prove them wrong on June 27
