CGI and the rise of Carlee
Diversifying the Lafayette economy away from the oil and gas industry was a hallmark of the Durel administration. Oil and gas was too unpredictable so the goal was to focus on something else. Even today, the decision to move in that direction continues to exact a...
Fake News doesn’t like us very much
When Carlee called us "the most influential voice in Lafayette," local news outlets took notice. Is it any surprise? We do the research no one else is doing. That research enables us to share insights that no one else can. One example is our LCG Council...
Help us get Bruce Conque’s travel expenses
"Discretion" is the superpower of government. We see "prosecutorial discretion" at play daily in the law enforcement world. Hillary gets off scott-free after violating the espionage act some 30,000 times, but one poor submariner gets thrown in jail for a single photo....

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...
After the “fix” are maps STILL wrong?
This crazy mantra from the fixers is starting to get old. It was repeated over and over during the court case against LCG's bungling attempt to fix their own charter with an ordinance. The maps were right, they said, it's just the descriptions that were wrong. It was...
