Next hurricane maybe you will invite me and my family to "share" with you the cool breezes of A/C and nice cold drinks as we wait for LUS to come and cut down more pine trees on the lines a block away from my hot, dark home. I live on the southside. - Pedro Mon, 05 Oct 2009 21:54:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4993#comment-3460 Pedro, I lived in the center of Lafayette for the last four hurricanes. The combined time on loss of power for all four storms was no more than twelve hours. - Solutions? Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:41:24 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4993#comment-3438 I would like to take exception to your comments about the loss of electricity/hurricanes. I don't know where you live Walter but for the last 4 hurricanes I have been without electricity for at least a week. I have underground utilities but the yahoos around me don't and plant pine trees underneath their lines. Their stupidity affects our whole neighborhood each time a storm hits. - Pedro Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:01:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4993#comment-3395 citizen, for profit companies cut back in bad times. guess what? sometimes they even lay off!! now isn't that a novel idea!! - northsidian Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:45:29 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4993#comment-3379 HA HA AH GOVAMANT PROJECT BREAKIN EVEN WID DA BUDGET IS AH RARITY ENOUGH, MAKIN AH PROFIT WOULD WARRANT ENTRY IN DA GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS.

It's encouraging to hear how LUS compares favorably to other utility services. Thanks to Terry Huval for doing a great job. It's comforting to know that the increase is not just an attempt to line some shareholder pockets, as would be the case if it were a "for profit" company. - citizen Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:27:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/4993#comment-3367 KUDO'S TA YA $ DA STAFF!!!
