You wouldn't know it unless you are one of the rich folks who have riverfront property. - citizen Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:24:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5947-tax-renewal-on-ballot-saturday#comment-6690 Yeah!

Why couldn't they have built control gates ? - Plumpy Fri, 26 Mar 2010 12:28:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5947-tax-renewal-on-ballot-saturday#comment-6685 VOTE YES! It's true, IMJacquemo, that they have millions of reserve and investments, but what will they have if they deplete those reserves? The Teche-Vermilion District will need new pumps soon to replace the nearly 30-year old pumps currently in use. If something happens between now and the time of the purchase of the pumps, the District will need to dip into that reserve fund to make repairs. If those funds get depleted, new pumps and other materials cannot be bought, resulting in a salty, heavily polluted Bayou Vermilion. Furthermore, the federal government requires the District to maintain a reserve fund of about $25,000,000. Failure to do so could result in legal action against the District. The Bayou Vermilion is too great of an asset to the City and Parish of Lafayette to allow this millage to fail. I hope that my fellow residents of the city and the parish recognize this and approve this measure at the polls tomorrow. - ipa Fri, 26 Mar 2010 12:07:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5947-tax-renewal-on-ballot-saturday#comment-6684 VOTE NO. They have millions in reserve/investments. - IMJacquemo Fri, 26 Mar 2010 11:12:49 +0100
