Chris A. Tregre

Chris A. Tregre, third parish president, served two terms from 1992 to 2000 and will best be remembered for leading citizen opposition to a riverboat casino in St. Charles Parish based on the belief that local government should have the right to determine how its land should be zoned and utilized. A landmark Louisiana Supreme Court decision upheld the parish’s right to legislate in this regard.
