WHAT I ASSUME, IS THE CADRE OF COUZANS/PADHS IN OTHER STATEs, have "" A DIFFERENT RATE OF EXCHANGE FOR THE DOLLAR BILL! """I THINK THE DOLLARS OF OUR LOCAL COMPANYS, DIFFER FROM THE DOLLARS OF THOSE OUT OF STATE COMPANYS. THE OUT OF STATE COMPANYS DOLLARS, ARE BANKED IN ANTIQUA. THEREFORE """NO RECORD OF THE BILLS SERIAL NUMBERS ARE ON FILE IN THE U. S. A. THESE BILLS HAVE A SUBSTANCE CALLED """STICKUM""", ON THEIR BILLS........... THIS INSURES, THAT IN THE TRANSACTION OF MONEY EXCHANGING HANDS, ""THE BILLS ARE SORT OF STICKY TO THE TOUCH"", THEREFORE WHEN HANDLING THE BILLS, NO BILLS ARE DROPPED AND THERE IS NO DANGER OF THE WRONG PARTY RETRIEVING THE PRE-DECIDED AMOUNT OTHER THAN THE AMOUNT WHICH HAD BEEN SETTLED UPON PRE/POST BID PROCESS... - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 21 Jan 2010 17:53:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5384 As a long time supporter of LUS and Fiber I am dismayed by the miserable impact to our local economy this project has had. To defend this statement, take a look at the next fiber installation truck and look at the license plate. In addition, ask the person who is installing your system “who’s your daddy” or “I think I know your family ”or“ who dat .Chances are they cannot pronounce Leblanc, Hebert, or Langlinais and do not have a local address or bank account. Millions of dollars have been spent on this project and I would like to ask Joey and Terry how much of this money has been spent locally? Promises were made that this fiber project would bring jobs and money to Lafayette. The project is projected to cost over 100 million dollars and just a fraction of this would have vaulted a local company to register in the “Times, Top 50 Companies in Acadiana”. I cringe at my LUS bill, my local taxes, my payroll taxes and the advertisements promoting LUS fiber when I know very little is being done to make the company I work for more profitable by the project I supported. I am floating this blog out there for response and feedback. - LUS Supporter..KINDA Wed, 20 Jan 2010 22:09:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5300 Ay, i firmly believe in museums, zoo's & parks especially those entertainment avenues for children, and help fund these facilities that they be available for everyone, especially for those children whose parents and / or foster parents, are unable to provide entertainment for these children........ But, to accept these be funded with my tax dollars, and provide some kook with the opportunity to display an outrageous un-imaginative, 17 century corset on a clothesline or set a piece of broken rebarb curbing material salvaged from the refuse pile on display, just to enable some wanna be artsy, frustrated, mentally impaired peep an outlet for a hidden repressive, illogical-imagination or a crushed ego a rehab moment, thats is not art, maybe that is a therapeutic outlet for some wacky, flustered peep who deigns his talent worthy of a place in the sun. but, to fund these peeps who are unable to accept that they should take their frustrated egos to a nice restaurant and doodle on the cartoon figures printed on the sheets of children coloring books they put out for children placemats - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Sun, 17 Jan 2010 14:42:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5298 As a side note to Peep goat....I like my fiber, thank you. I am glad we have that choice in this town of "movers and shakers". What they are "moving and shaking" sometimes confuses me. At least we have a decent "road" to the outside world! AT&T and Cox gave me the slow road to nowhere. - Pedro Sat, 16 Jan 2010 20:50:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5292 If we don't pay new taxes how are we going to get new/improved roads? The same goes for public education. We must stop giving money/taxes and expecting no accountability. Two of the most important things Lafayette needs are better traffic/roads and accountability in our public schools. We need to stop laughing and start taking responsibility for our community and our future. - Pedro Sat, 16 Jan 2010 17:44:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5269 RE; MORROW, """""NO TRYING TO RIG BIDS TO FAT CAT CAMPAIGN DONORS OR FRIENDS"""! THEY WILL ALWAYS TRY TO TAKE CARE OF WHO SCRATCHES THEIR BACK AND, ""THROW ME SOMETHING IN MAH POCKET MR. GREEN DOLLAHS! THIS IS HOW THE ""DO NOT HAVE THEIR FILL, GLUTTONS WHO PROSTITUTE THEMSELVES FOR A DOLLAH AND THEN WANT AH STATUTE OF THEMSELVES ON THE COURT SQUARE/ OR A BUILDING THAT CAUSED THE TAXPAYERS OVER BID PROJECTION, TO BE NAMED IN THEIR NAME.

NO NEW TAXES. In fact, why not lower some, like property taxes !!! NO TRYING TO RIG BIDS TO GIVE WORK TO FAT CAT CAMPAIGN DONORS OR FRIENDS!!! (Look at how well that worked out with the Mayor's friend the EX-police chief.....) Repair the roads. Open them up to alleviate traffic. - Morrow Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:42:38 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5249 If you believe everything Lemoine says, I have a great vacation property I would like to sell you.......... - Pedro Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:20:43 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5245 Thank you Mike Walker for addressing the "other 23" individuals featured in this article. _______________________________ Biggest Issue: Narcissism. People today worship the unholy trinity — me, myself and I. Self focus leads to delusion, disappointment and destruction. We need leaders and a populace who will buck the trend of “meism” and chart a counter culture course. Putting others before yourself takes maturity. Serving others is a lifestyle that crafts a high level of impact for good. True greatness is not measured by what we attain but by what we give away. The challenge in Acadiana is to practice this character quality of selflessness year round, not just the holidays. - BUD Fri, 15 Jan 2010 04:09:06 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5240 AY, MS SWIFT MEDICATIONS ARE READY FOR PICK-UP AT THE "RITE AID DRUGSTORE" ON THE THRU-WAY AT THE CARENCRO EXIT........... - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:56:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5221 zzzzzzzzzzzzz2: DITTO! I completely agree! - queenbee Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:48:00 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5220 Seems to me if Ms. Jan Swift is constantly late for her appointments, then the Upper Lafayette Economic Development Foundation should find a new executive, one who doesn't keep their potential clients and interest groups waiting. - respect Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:41:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5218 It is good to know so many of our fearless leaders are going on diets. - Pork and Beans Thu, 14 Jan 2010 10:12:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5217 Oh man, what is theind trying to do? Talk about filler. Got to cater to those egos. - Raspootin Wed, 13 Jan 2010 22:12:12 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5213 Since the AcA director wants Lafayette to become a mini San Francisco, does that mean he wants the "energy hub" city to be taken over by enviro-socialist politicians? - Cajunrunner Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:26:09 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5211 zzzzzzzzzzz222...good one! I could have told you what John St. Julien was going to say before anyone even asked him! In fact, did they actually ask him, or did they do what I would have done....write his name, quotation mark, LUS Fiber is gonna be great, then something about all the social ills Fiber's gonna correct, then close quotes and save the cost of the phone call:) - ragin_cajun Wed, 13 Jan 2010 15:05:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5205 John St. Julien a "community leader"? Is this for real? - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz2 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 13:37:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/5475#comment-5199 almost 200K people in this parish and the ind keeps talking to the same people. are these supposed to be the leaders of this community? LOOK AGAIN. also, isn't peep goat and some of the people this article one and the same??? please stop acting like you are smarter than we are. You guys need to get off your butts and into the community. quit listening to the same old people. Lafayette is evolving without you. - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Wed, 13 Jan 2010 12:09:08 +0100
