I THINK YOU HAVE MISSED THE POINT I MADE, AND THAT IS THAT THE LIMBS MUST BE AS STRONG AS THE TRUNK, WHICH IN THE CASE OF LAFAYETTE, "THE CITY LEADERS, ARE CONSTANTLY ROBBING THE SURROUNDING OUTLYING AREAS OF THEIR CHANCE TO GROW BY 1. FAILING TO UTILIZE THE SURROUNDING MUNICIPALITYS, CASE IN POINT: JAY CASTILLE'S REMARK, " CASTILLE SAYS. BROUSSARD MAYOR CHARLES LANGLINAIS MAY BE THE ONLY OFFICIAL THAT NEEDS CONVINCING; HE AND CITY-PARISH PRESIDENT JOEY DUREL ARE INCREASINGLY AT ODDS, ETC THE PROBLEM WITH CASTILLE IS, " HE ENGAGES HIS MOUTH WITHOUT ENGAGING HIS BRAIN, CASTILLE DEFINITELY MAKES CLEAR THE RIFT BETWEEN DUREL AND LANGLINAIS..........NOW ,IT DOES NOT TAKE A GENIUS WHICH CASTILLE, IS NOT......TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE DOES, EXIST A DISPARITY BETWEEN LANGLINAIS AND DUREL, " FOR THE RECORD, THIS DISPARITY IS VERY EVIDENT BY THE BUSINESS-LIKE ATTITUDE OF LANGLINAIS VERSUS DUREL'S OUTSTRETCHED TENTACLES TO ENVELOPE BROUSSARD INTO DUREL'S FOLD, " YOU CAN ONLY BUY, WHATS FOR SALE, NOT EVERYTHING OR EVERYONE HAS A PRICE " ! RIGHT CHARLES ? 2. YOU CAN BE SURE OF THIS, " THE BROUSSARD MAYOR WILL BE HEAVILY ROMANCED BY THE LAFAYETTE CITY POWERS, WITH AN OFFER TO BE THE STRONGEST ARM OF THE TRUNK, UNTIL THE TIME COMES THAT THE RAT PACK WANTS THE ARM, BECAUSE AS THE TOWN OF BROUSSARD HAS RECENTLY SHOWN, IT IS TAKING TO MUCH NUTRIENT FROM THE TRUNK.................. AY , LET ME MAKE THIS FREAKING CLEAR,,,,,,,," I LOVE LAFAYETTE, I HAVE VERY MUCH AT STAKE IN THIS CITY, JUST AS MUCH FINANCIALLY, AS EMOTIONAL PERSONAL PRIDE, BUT I DON'T LIKE MY CITY BEING DIVVYED UP BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION AND THEIR CRONYS, I FEEL LIKE """" RAGIN CAJUN....I'VE HAD ENOUGH " AND I AM GOING TO DO MORE THAN TALK ABOUT MY DISAPPROVAL OF THE GOINGS ON, IN THIS CITY, AND THE NOXIOUS CLOAKED UNDERTAKINGS WHICH BENEFIT A SELECT FEW ! AS, I SAID EARLIER THE TOP POWERS HAVE FRANCHISEED DOWN TO THE MINIONS, AND NOW THE MINIONS ARE HUNGRY FOR MORE........ THE CITY ADMINISTRATORS HAVE A LONG STANDING HISTORY OF HOLDING THEIR FOOT ON THE THROAT OF THE NORTHSIDE, THE EAST ,WEST AND THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE OUTLYING AREAS, DOING ALL IN THEIR POWER TO HINDER THE GROWTH OF THESE AREAS, THE MORE AREA LAFAYETTE ENVELOPES THE MORE TO BE SHARED, BUT ONLY BY A SELECT FEW.......... THAT SAID MY CHER STEPCHILD, HOPEFULLY YOU GET MY POINT. AS I SAID I LOVE LAFAYETTE AND BROUSSARD, SCOTT, YOUNGSVILLE, BREAUX BRIDGE, CARENCRO " HELL,I LOVE LOUISIANA !!!!!! - EXISTENTIALIST MAN Tue, 06 Apr 2010 09:11:57 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5988-council-of-govs-to-hash-out-annexation#comment-6849 I think you totally missed the point. I said we need a fair plan for every municipality. I did not say that Lafayette should get any more than its fair share. Having a master annexation plan that enables everyone to grow in a manageable way would definately be a step in the right direction. Would your suggestion be to punish the City of Lafayette? to keep it from growing and being prosperous? Every surrounding city and parish needs to ensure that city of Lafayette stays strong and healthy. It is the engine that drives this area. - step-child Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:50:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5988-council-of-govs-to-hash-out-annexation#comment-6844 AY STEP-CHILD, its not all about Broussard, my commemt was intended as a fair warning to every Broussard citizen, especially any/all landowners in the outlying areas of Lafayette, you see, i have been a taxpaying citizen of Lafayette all of my life and have resided in Lafayette Parish and paid parish taxes all of my life........way back when our present administrators were a twinkle in their parents eyes,,,,,,,,Would'nt you say i'm familiar with the MO's of "This Administration", after all nothing ever changes completely, except sometimes the names change, minutely, to............"JUNIOR, or the II, or the III, or IV, all of my life, having witnessed the forward-thinking, landgrabbers rob the areas landowners, because of close-ties with the area administrators, whoever was in office, " JUST CARBON COPYS "! OH , INCIDENTALLY THE PARISH AS A WHOLE WILL THRIVE IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS, WE WILL WITNESS GROWTH, PROSPERITY, AND AN ECONOMY NOT SEEN IN THIS AREA IN QUITE A NUMBER OF YEARS .......... BUT, THE LAFAYETTE CITY/PARISH, PSEUDO LEADERS, HAVE ONE THING IN MIND AND THAT IS TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF LAFAYETTE CITY, AND THIS IS THEIR FOREMOST PRIORITY, THEY ARE AWARE THAT LAFAYETTE IS HEMMED IN, AND AS THE OUTLYING AREAS BECOME MORE PROSPEROUS AND EVENTUALLY MORE EDUCATED, THEN THEY WILL THEMSELVES PROSPER...... THE OUTLYING AREAS DON'T NEED LAFAYETTE CITY... LAFAYETTE CITY NEEDS THE OUTLYING AREAS.....AND YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK BROUSSARD RESIDENTS, """ DON'T GIVE AWAY YOUR TOWN, YOUR GROWTH IS IMMINENT, NEW IBERIA IS FACHE`, YOU PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT, YOU MAY SOME DAY ANNEX LAFAYETTE, HUST PAY ATTENTION TO WHO YOU ELECT AS YOUR........LEADERS, EH CHARLEY ? - Northsidian Man Mon, 05 Apr 2010 20:31:10 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5988-council-of-govs-to-hash-out-annexation#comment-6839 Dear Exiistintialist Man, What if every city in the parish only thought about what is best for them and did not plan for what is best for the parish? Not very itelligent or progressive! Fortunately we have some very forward-thinking people who realize that we are all in this together. We need to work together to be able to compete as a region. It is time for all of the municipalities to sit down and come up with a fair annexation plan that benefits the whole parish, not just Broussard. - step-child Mon, 05 Apr 2010 14:29:56 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/5988-council-of-govs-to-hash-out-annexation#comment-6836 ***MR. CHARLEY LANGLINAIS WATCH YOURSELF, JODU'NT AND CASTILLE ARE LOOSE AGAIN AND KNOW THAT """ ANY PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF OUTLYING PROPERTIES WOULD BE A 1-WAY STREET, ALL FOR LAFAYETTE CITY AND ZILCH FOR THE OUTLYING MUNICIPALITIES, NOT TO SPEAK OF THE LANDOWNERS, " WHO WILL BE LEFT OUT OF THE CRONY MIX !!!!!!!!!!!!!! MR. LANGLINAIS, THE VOTERS OF BROUSSARD ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE RECENT GROWTH OF OUR TOWN, AND THE MONIES GENERATED WITH THE INCREASE OF THE RECENT GROWTH . THE GROWTH OF BROUSSARD HAS MADE THIS AREA MORE ATTRACTIVE, TO THE MANY NEWCOMERS, AND THE PROMOTION OF THE TOWN OF BROUSSARD WITH THE NEW ADDED ENTERTAINMENT, RESTAURANTS, BOUTIQUES, OIL INDUSTRY FIRMS, ETC, HAS MADE OUR TOWN VERY APPEALING TO THE MANY CITIZENS IN LAFAYETTE TO MIGRATE HERE FOR A BREATH OF """ CLEAN/ FRESH AIR,,,,,,LETS THINK OF BROUSSARD FIRST, AND SOLELY BROUSSARD. WE SURE DON'T REMEMBER LAFAYETTE EVER TREATING BROUSSARD LIKE ANYTHING ,BUT A RED-HAID STEP-CHILD....... BROUSSARD IS IN A POSITION NOW FOR EXPANSION, POSSIBLY DOUBLING IN SIZE IN THE NEXT 5 YEARS.......BROUSSARD IS DOING FINE, """ DO NOT SELL US OUT"""! - EXISTENTIALIST MAN Mon, 05 Apr 2010 13:22:58 +0100
