What a great picture too! - armcatstowage Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:11:51 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24985 You would hope that would be the case. In Lafayette, it is not necessarily the case. Its all Cajun. Age reference only meant that most of this generation (those around age) are more inclusive than most of the older politicians. I am glad he won. He seems like a breath of fresh air to this area. - What to do now!!

The Creole culture is from the French and developed side by side with the Cajun culture. It is really not possible to neatly separate them. - TED WILLIAMS Tue, 22 Nov 2011 18:32:35 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24946 ^ Too Bad: Interesting comment. Though I'm unclear what his age has to do with his 'recognition' of one subculture over another. These days, when it comes to art, culture and education in general, you take whatever allies you can get, right? It's about time we have a politician who cares about something aside from oil. Oil's great and all, but tourism's up there too. - LookSomeThings Tue, 22 Nov 2011 09:26:23 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24941 At his age Representative Ortego can not recognize the Creole culture in Lafayette along with preservation of French and Cajun culture. - Too Bad Mon, 21 Nov 2011 22:32:05 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24927 Joey must be so glad he is termed. He is finished. P.S. Congrats to Ortego and all of his hard workers - just thinking Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:12:16 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24918 Well, Doise says he is in Leadership Lafayette. All that means he will be an official puppet of the Chamber of Commerce. As for Durel, Comeaux & Don Bertrand having any stroke in politics. NOT, NOT, NOT!! Now Robideaux, he is the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - the original northsidian Mon, 21 Nov 2011 14:16:32 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24913 Stephen will serve Carencro and the rest of District 39 well. We may be country folks but appreciate both he and Mr. Don Menard running a clean race. Both Class Acts. Thank you. - Carencro Chick Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:48:08 +0100 http://www.theind.com/news/indreporter/9402-big-win-stephen-ortego-upsets-don-menard#comment-24912 Congrats to Mr. Ortego. Unlike some other races in the Acadiana area, that one seemed to run well without too much hit piece politics. Is the IND going to write up about Andy Naquin's big win? 57-43, despite the big politicos Joey Durel, Conrad Comeaux, Don Bertrand and the Lafayette Chamber lining up and supporting Doise. Mr. Doise should be commended for stepping up to run as well. District 6 needed someone other than Mr. Dore, who served as little but a guaranteed vote for the Administration. Both Andy Naquin and Jared Doise saw that need and were proactive. - RCajunrunner Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:29:46 +0100
