We worked with officials to reopen Louisiana’s economy, specifically for our restaurants who were going out of business in record numbers. In spite of overwhelming resistance by Louisiana’s Legislature and (believe it or not) the Louisiana Restaurant Association, our team partnered with a very few Lafayette area restaurant and business owners, worked with Lt. Governor Billy Nungesser, and successfully moved Louisiana into “Phase 3” of the COVID recovery plan. That brought live music back into restaurants, reduced capacity regulations, and finally allowed restaurants to start charting their own course again without fear of government overregulation.

During COVID, our team successfully “encouraged” a very reluctant Speaker of the House to finally get enough signatures on the “Seabaugh Petition” to reign in Governor John Bel Edwards emergency powers. Although the Speaker mangled the effort, which was eventually defeated in court, the reason it even got into court was thanks to our Baton Rouge team’s hard work. Without the effort, which afterwards resulted in a significant legislative push-back to Edwards, we may still be in some form of medical lockdown.

Eliminated a woke non-profit that was stealing tax dollars to fund social justice wars in the Lafayette Area. The Vermilionville Living History Museum Foundation was redirecting YOUR dedicated tax dollars to fund a campaign against police officers. Instead of keeping the Vermilion River clean and clear so local homes and businesses wouldn’t flood, they were funding salaries of woke employees who extolled and emboldened woke political groups like Indivisible, friends of Drag Queen Story Time, Supporters of the Library (which are anything but), and Lafayette Citizens Against Censorship (who actively work to bully and censor anyone who believes children should not be subjected to pornography and erotica in the library’s kids section).

After our members took over the Bayou Vermilion District board, the taxpayer funded organization went from a $1 MILLION annual budget deficit to $170,000 in the black. They saved the Vermilionville “museum” from financial ruin and restored funding to river operations all at the same time. Now, they have a restored focus on their primary mission; the reason voters approved the tax in the first place. That is: keeping the river running clean and clear, a major component to prevent flooding.

Successfully blocked overwhelming and continuous attempts to use tax dollars to promote and fund Drag Queen Story Time (a drag show for three-year-olds) at the Lafayette Public Library. After the success of stopping this terrible woke event, we continued a protracted battle to address the root cause. It’s taken about four years, but we have worked to replace the director and every single board member who had planned on allowing that event to take place. As of this writing, there is only one of the original eight board members left to go.

During Sunshine Week, we sent out thousands of public records requests and gauged responses from countless public bodies in all sixty-four parishes. Some of those requests were followed up and later morphed into free-standing investigations of their own.
