What we should do pump MORE taxpayer dollars in our public schools. that's the only thing wrong with them at all--not enough funding. the horse farm should be made into--as Don Bertrand called it--an "entertainment district" so that we won't have all those problems with downtown bars. The strip is just not adequate. We should double the budget of our Police department, even though they can't police a 2 block area of downtown Lafayette. And then add all proceeds from traffic cams to the PZC, who needs more money to study the effects of bar density on community relations in downtown areas. And finally, we should name our councilmen "Wise Elders for Life" because they have so wisely spent our tax dollars over 5-10 years. I can just feel that "quality of life" rising every day. MO MONEY! MO MONEY! MO MONEY! Higher utility rates for all!!!!!! - ragin_cajun Fri, 08 Jan 2010 14:27:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5431#comment-5072 Sarcastic Citizen, no truer words have been spoken!! - northsidian Thu, 07 Jan 2010 21:21:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5431#comment-5016 "And speaking of the CPC, will it resolve that nagging, annual cough we call NGO funding? Or will the same old battle over tossing a pittance to a handful of non-profit agencies return come budget time this summer?" Hey Walt, the "pittance" of $500,000 of Lafayette Parish public tax dollars that is given to Non-Governmental Organizations could probably be well spent paying for the extra downtown security, especially since one or two of those NGOs in that area attract a crowd that adds to the downtown crime troubles. - Cajunrunner Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:42:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/5431#comment-5015 Being the republican stronghold that we are it's obvious that we should dissolve the school board and all public schools for that matter. Anyone who matters is going to private schools anyway. Clearly the horse farm should be sold to developers because we need another strip mall and some condos. Only hippies and homeless people go to parks anyway. We should get rid of our police and put up more cameras and let RedFlex handle our law and order. Obviously the free market can provide better services for lower costs. And finally we should also dissolve the City-Parish Council because anything that has the word government in it is sucking money out of my wallet. - Sarcastic Citizen Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:36:25 +0100
