I do know that a snaildarter is actually a small fish that caused a lot of trouble for some people because of other people. I apologize if you miss the satire. - snaildarter Thu, 29 Sep 2011 05:48:30 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22718 You DO call yourself "snaildarter." - Walter Pierce Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:51:58 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22712 IT IS so cool finding this sort of obvious hypocrisy in the same edition! Do you think we are that stupid? - snaildarter Tue, 27 Sep 2011 20:23:42 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22676 "We’re willing to give Durel a mulligan on this one..." YET, the Indies wrote how John Fleming "underscored how detached from reality the well-heeled, affluent political class can be." Joey and his controllers are also the affluent political class. Redflex is just another legal-in-appearance-only scheme to run government like a business: businesses must grow, and businesses too frequently rely on varying levels of honesty in their dealings with customers, suppliers and investors. As taxpayers and citizens of this burg, we are the customers, suppliers and investors who are being lied to, cheated, and not payed on time. And the Ind has become part of that big business. Hypocritical, disingenuous, and lying. Find and tell the truth about Redflex. - snaildarter Tue, 27 Sep 2011 05:39:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22491 Could be use the redneck cameras to fund the school board? I'd vote for it. - Cracklin Patin Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:47:02 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22483 "HARK, you are so right, your testimony of Mr. Durel's bird seeding to his cronys, is truly evident of a busy little man, manipulated by the puppet masters, neer one to drag his heels, his honor the contract mangling mayor is a very busy and effective crony master purveyor. - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:00:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22480 Oh Hark, its about corruption here, and Joey is the master puppet in this play, if it was about safety and concern for the parish peeps the council, goofy as they are, would not constantly be caught napping by Joey's cronys...... The indy should investigate who participates in the sharing of the thousands of dollars on the profit side of " Redflex's operations here in Lafayette Parish. Realize this: If Joey can pull this contract extension off, the under the table passing of contracts, to the " CRONIES by Joey in another term, he would exceed Klepto-Keeney Bowen and Lootin Lastrapes, and maybe even join the ranks of the Maestro Manipulator Authement, selling the horse farm, "INDEED NOT ! - NORTHSIDIAN SHOTGUN Thu, 22 Sep 2011 07:50:02 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22475 Hark: It's ok for public officials to disregard law and the constitution they are sworn to uphold? I don't think so! Loss of constitutional rights and outsourcing policing is not "progress" of any kind that freedom loving people should aspire to. - realitycheck Thu, 22 Sep 2011 06:57:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22467 Ramrodding has alway been a way of circumventing systematic grind. And effective public servant knows what's good for the whole of his community and is not afraid to use the rules to the advantage of his goals. Undoubtedly this is going to PO the heel dragger members of the constituancy. And so be it...in every case of managing public the trust of the public. Many folks would like to see a do nothing mayor...a return to the old days...when they could speed through red lights and drive as obnoxiously and as dangerously as they wanted. - Hark....a light....slow down .. Thu, 22 Sep 2011 04:49:25 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22414 This council needs to be vigilant. If this is something they wanted to discuss, read the contract(s) regardless of who was on the council at time of origin. The council is just as responsible, maybe more so - their body negotiated the terms and agreed to them. This administration and any in the future only "administered" what the council approved. What I'd challenge any council member, or the public at large, to do is get a petition going to put it to a vote. But then failure to get the petition or a negative vote might be too big a political risk for some! - coullion Wed, 21 Sep 2011 16:05:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/re/9044-redflexible#comment-22377 The council needs to trump Durel and void the contract. As you concede that it is about money rather than safety, it needs to be eliminated as is happening around the country. - realitycheck Wed, 21 Sep 2011 11:37:12 +0100
