Pay attention my man!! I will not get in a pi**ing contest with you, because I really do like Rickey. I just don't like him being used by the MAN!! Anyway that is what I think and I could care less how you feel!!! This is AMERIKA!! YOU KNOW, FREE SPEACH AND ALL THAT STUFF!! - northsidian Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:39:22 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4261 Northsidian, you need to dig your head out of your rear. None of what you say makes any sense. Ricky is not beholden to Michot or Durel. I don't think he is a token for anyone. I don't like all he does but he is not anybody's man. He's no genius but he really tries and some of his ideas are really out front. Example: upping the grade requirement for athletes. - Gene Broussard Mon, 23 Nov 2009 09:12:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4174 As Al Jolson used to say, "You ain't seen nothing yet." There's more to come. - yesidoknow Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:26:02 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4171 I fail to see the humor in any of this. This is why our schools are in such bad shape and our scores are stagnant. Public education in Lafayette Parish is something to amuse us. How about writing a story about the board budget, item by item? How about a story about the tenure of Mike Hefner, Ed Sam, Carl LaCombe? Why are our buildings in such disrepair? Years of neglect? Who is responsible for that? Why do we have drunks/convicted felons driving our students? If we spend money and build new buildings, who is going to take care of them? It is time to quit laughing. I don't see the humor in it and haven't for the last 30 years. Write a story about parents trying to find answers and the run around they receive from principals, school board members and central office staff. It is time to be serious about public education in Lafayette Parish. Our students deserve it. - Pedro Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:11:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4167 I like Rickey, but I think he is the token for Mike Michot & Joey (joe du) Durel!! He has balls but sometimes he does not use his brain!! He lives in the hood and thinks differently than most folks. That pisses the power elite in this one horse town off!! I would like him to be his own man and not be misguided by those who surround him. - northsidian Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:10:50 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4155 That same week and just coincidently, or not, Mr. Hardy attended the LPSS public meeting on facilities. He was there along with many constituents to discuss the fate of NP Moss and Northside High School. His move on these grant funds occurred just prior. Attention getting? You bet. Is there going to be a special meeting on NP Moss? You bet. Is Mr. Hardy a force that LPSS is going to have to continue to recon with? You bet. - You Bet Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:59:15 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4154 My goodness, MOrrow, you sound as crazy as Hardy and his puppet master, JPstoshak. If this is a direct slap in the face, why did all the other reps and sens on this committee try to talk hardy out of it? none of them got calls. this is about two small men (one much smaller than the other, and i don't mean rickey) trying to make themselves big on the backs of our children. if rickey got rid of Stoshak today he'd be 100% better off. - chicken little Wed, 18 Nov 2009 11:48:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5224#comment-4151 In this case, I'm not so sure that LPSS wasn't deliberately "dissing" Rep. Hardy. He's not their favorite & he's called them to task on occasion. In fact, to NOT contact him on this money seems like a direct slap in the face, in my humble opinion. I, for one, thought it hilarious that Rep. Hardy remined everyone that like it or not, HE's the man you have to talk to. LPSS should not take anything for granted. I don't think the rep. is asking anyone to kiss his behind and prostrate themselves before him to get the $$$$. I think its a cute reminder that as such, the rep. deserves a certain respect. I'm not one of his biggest fans, but I'm not a particular fan of LPSS either and I was thoroughly amused by this. - Morrow Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:01:46 +0100
