"Separate budgets require separate 'voices'." What do you mean by the metonymy "voice/s"? Is this presumed 'voice' to be cut in half? Are you not merely asserting political rant? - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Wed, 27 Jul 2011 12:12:31 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8711-boudreaux-yall-come#comment-20155 From the July 15, 2011 Special to The Advocate “Conque said the city and the parish’s finances are handled separately — even though they are considered an entity. The city has a $410 million budget, and the parish has a $13 million budget …” If “the city and the parish’s finances are handled separately” then why aren’t there separate budget documents, hearings, and ordinances? “All taxpayers have a voice at these hearings.” Some taxpayers more than others, City-$410 million “voices” to Parish-$13 million “voices”, and City taxpayers also pay Parish taxes. The Council’s Budget recognize City voters as two taxpayers, yet we can only get recognized as one “voice” at Budget or Council meetings. Separate budgets require separate “voices”. - Andy Hebert Mon, 25 Jul 2011 13:16:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8711-boudreaux-yall-come#comment-20146 These dry, boring mathematical details of Budget negotiations should be left to competently trained public servants. To invite the ignorant hoi polloi [Greek, "the many"] invite trouble-makers, malcontents & scoundrels to disrupt the orderly processes of local government! After all, what do these dolts have to offer? They could not even solve a simple problem in linear algebra or elementary calculus! - Gaius Cilnius Maecenas Mon, 25 Jul 2011 10:25:33 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8711-boudreaux-yall-come#comment-20113 How dare you insinuate he has something to hide, now if he was holding meetings on the eleventh hour at the CITY CLUB TIL THE CRACK OF DAWN, I would understand your suspicion, but you may be surrrrre, the LCG administrators will be in attendance and hang on his every word, on how the pie will be divvied up, thas ah gimme. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Fri, 22 Jul 2011 12:04:46 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/8711-boudreaux-yall-come#comment-20108 “All taxpayers have a voice at these hearings.” Sure, we will just leave our jobs to participate. It would seem that Mr. Boudreaux say one thing, but does something inconsistent with his words. What is he trying to hide from the public by holding meetings in the middle of the day? - Suuurre...
