Maecenas' comments hold! - Titus Pomponius Atticus Thu, 17 Mar 2011 17:41:34 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15666 Well written BoFred. However, one cannot so easily separate 'capitalism' from 'governmental oversight.' Both are required for a smooth functioning of tolerable civic life. Furthermore, I applaud "Anti-Tea Party" sentiments. The TPL does not know what it wants. It merely desires to destroy something or someone in order to satisfy its anger, fear and pain induced by having led an immoral, worthless life. This group merely follows its belly and genitals---constantly stirring up confusion to aid chaos; thus giving itself a reason to lie, steal and cheat further from its fellow man. - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Tue, 15 Mar 2011 17:20:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15649 The Tea Party has brought down yet another Lafayette business. These fundamentalist bullies will not be content until we are all riding horses and living in mud shacks. They are the local equivalent of the Taliban... - Anti-Tea Party Tue, 15 Mar 2011 11:18:21 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15637 Let capitalism take its course. I have no problem with Mr. Stewart developing whatever he wants & I wish him well. I did not approve of the TIF. Don't call me names for it. I have the right to complain & question the proposal & what happens for other developers. Let Laf govt proceed as they normally do with new construction. I am not a member, nor can I see myself ever being a member of the "tea party". There is a big group of people out here who aren't happy with any of the parties out here, including the new one. - BoFred Tue, 15 Mar 2011 04:12:48 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15630 The social trash [TPL] loves to play the victim. As usual, they hide behind the vocable "fact." This is Latin, past participle from "facere", 'factum' "that which has been done." The dolts did not permit Dr. Stewart to proceed with his sensible real estate investment structure. With low interest rates, non-performing bonds, this would have been an ideal opportunity for an investment structure. Social trash will always cut off their nose to despite their face. The Tea Party of Lafayette has too long of a nose, and too ugly of a face. - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Mon, 14 Mar 2011 20:05:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15626 " Tea Party of Lafayette trashed the project " I disagree. The TEA Party of Lafayette raised very valid concerns about the government's role in private real estate development, and ASKED QUESTIONS about the TIF. The TEA Party actually never objected to the project at all. The only person appealing to mob panic is YOU. Get your facts straight. Also, it is perfectly valid to infer that " Our notables " means people, so my assumption that it was an "anybody" that you referred to is sensible. - ragin_cajun Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:58:14 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15622 Durel supported this TIF fiasco and in his typical fashion thought that anyone who was against it was uninformed at best, and really stupid. The question is, "What did Durel know and when did he know it?" This question applies across the board, but certainly as to Stewart's not owning the land he claimed to own. "What did Durel and Gotreaux know and when did they know it?" - POLITICAL OBSERVER Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:50:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15620 French Roman Catholic Cultral instituitions, GA, if that is your only link to self-pride, a murderous, terrorizing, organization killing and maiming men, women, and children, all in the name of religion by misfit, sadist popes, and bishops, and a few thousand pedophiile priests, you ain't got no game, dolt. Git back on the porch, Pilgrim... - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Mon, 14 Mar 2011 15:46:27 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15611 by Gaius Cilnius Maecenas "proved a mecca for wealthy tourists and well-heeled business personalities coming to our city. ----------------------- Proved? That is a theory, equal in value to the late Catfish Town of Baton Rouge. - James Melancon Mon, 14 Mar 2011 12:50:28 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15607 Ragin Cajun [sic] errs in his brief assertion above. The dolts calling themselves the Tea Party of Lafayette trashed the project [it was a 'something' not an 'anybody'] by appealing to mob panic with the usual cries of nonsensical governmental tyranny! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:55:59 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15604 Tea Party of Lafayette didn't trash anybody. They GOT trashed by the council, the administration, and the developer. - ragin_cajun Mon, 14 Mar 2011 11:09:49 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15602 I amsad that this project has been derailed by harum-scarum guttersnipes in the Tea Party of Lafayette. It would have proved a mecca for wealthy tourists and well-heeled business personalities coming to our city. Now all we have are the trashy looking third-world hotels that dot our nasty looking interstates and downtown Lafayette. This is not how you grow a great "small" city! When we grow afraid to label fools as "idiots" (a most kind sobriquet by Dr. Stewart), and, what is even worse, must pander to these rabble-rousing troublemakers---then we have lost our civic 'nobilitas'! Our notables are vulgarly trashed by malcontents, thieves, and common cheats parading themselves as the "Tea Party of Lafayette." It is a lamentable day for our proud French Roman Catholic cultural institutions! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Mon, 14 Mar 2011 10:14:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15601 by Northsidian Shotgun "James melancon is on the public payroll" ---------------------------- No, not yet but, one day maybe, if social security counts. Currently, I make a living by other means, since blogging pays little. - James Melancon Mon, 14 Mar 2011 09:31:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15599 James melancon is on the public payroll, "Ditteaux ! - Northsidian Shotgun Mon, 14 Mar 2011 08:09:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15598 by Tom Rankin "address the illegal red light cameras in Lafayette" ------------------- Illegal? Only for those going over the speed limit. In that case, the law is evenly applied. - James Melancon Mon, 14 Mar 2011 07:49:19 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15587 Now is the time for the tea parties to address the illegal red light cameras in Lafayette. - Tom Rankin Sun, 13 Mar 2011 09:49:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15585 Anyone who has known Greg Gothreaux can see the change in the man, he is always front and center at the trough and has never been on the con side of a project of Jodu'nt's ( Or, I should say, "has always been on the con side of the administrations, under the table dealings of self promotion of their...selves and their cronys behalf ). Thats Lafayette, Greg, continue to follow the dangling carrot, you may receive an additional job description with an added pay check and a record four retirement checks....... - Northsidian Shotgun Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:55:47 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15583 May it is time for Greg Gautraux to go. He's been on the public dole himself for a long time. - Insider Sat, 12 Mar 2011 15:54:21 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15582 "under strong opposition from ...local hoteliers" ---------------------- This is a strong point against TIFs. A TIF is government intervention in favor a special interest; giving financial advantage of one group over another. All TIFs need to be eliminated. - James Melancon Sat, 12 Mar 2011 15:27:41 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/7932-stewarts-tif-proposal-dies#comment-15579 The power elite in this one horse town hate the power of the internet!!!!!!!
