Chastising the council for you having to ask them for money year after year. Well if it is so degrading then stop taking the money. Non Profit? Maybe the program, but not you fair lady. What? Maybe 60000 dollars a year for you to administer the program. It sure is not "non profit" for you. Thanks for standing up to them William Theriot. Their day is coming. - pedro Thu, 01 Oct 2009 08:10:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5012#comment-3350 That's right, cochon. We working Americans and taxpayers don't want the burden of deciding for ourselves which non-profits and non-government organizations are worthy of our hard-earned money. Much better to have politicians, especially those with family ties to local NGOs and non-profits, to decide that for us. No more individual choice! - Cajunrunner Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:29:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5012#comment-3347 Theriot et al represent that "know-nothing" faction of political thought in Lafayette that feels that government has no legitimate function. It is up to citizens to repudiate this kind of demogary. - cochon Wed, 30 Sep 2009 08:00:04 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5012#comment-3346 Thank you for doing your best to watch our tax dollars, Councilman Theriot. And he walks the walk, being one of the few, if not the only, councilman who does not eat on taxpayer dime during council meeting nights. - Individualism Bad Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:59:02 +0100 http://www.theind.com/home/5012#comment-3344 Thank God someone sitting up there has some sense of fiscal responsibility! Its so sickening to see councilmen giving themselves raises, propsing raises for employees, not having the testicles to do anything not politically profitable to them. I think this is a "dog and pony show". Meanwhile, roads need to be repaired, drainage and traffic are deplorable and there's no money to fix infrastructure to make this parish run better. - Myric6 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 07:43:35 +0100
