Fiery Justice Genovese: Supreme Court Dropped the Ball
Today, the Louisiana Supreme Court issued documents related to their 5:2 decision to not hear arguments on whether or not LCG's use of an ordinance is an illegal method to amend their home rule charter. That question, by the way, was never answered by the courts....
“Fix Drainage” is the new Hate Speech
At the April 9th city-parish council meeting various council members voted to take $10 million away from an $18 million drainage ordinance to spend on libraries and recreation. While performing this action, councilman Kenneth Boudreaux said, "maybe drainage is a...

Six ask judge: allow LCG to rewrite charter ballot AFTER it passed!
LCG council members and the charter "fixers" are in quite a conundrum. On the one hand, they love saying "the voters have spoken." On the other, they are concerned that a special election could reverse the result of last December's vote. Remember, in April of 2017...
Council diverts $10 million from drainage, roads, and bridges
Way back on January 22nd, numerous members of the LCG council announced their intention to rededicate $18 million of the Library's surplus to road and bridge maintenance and drainage improvement projects. Even then, Councilman Bruce Conque suggested reducing the...
Unelected bureaucrats to raise taxes in Iberia
Voters are unwilling to pass new taxes. As percentages or sales or property values, taxes go up automatically ever year already. Bureaucrats are looking for new revenue sources. Iberia Parish's proposal would allow bureaucrats to raise taxes without a vote of the...
Great Scott! It’s ANOTHER tax!
"Let the voters decide," seems to be a never-ending mantra from government officials who keep putting taxes on the ballot. Never you mind that they voted to put a tax on the ballot. No, that's not raising taxes, they'll tell you, because the "voters must decide."...
