But, come-on man ole-skool? Les is paid so much, because he is the best. Are you trying to tell me the LPSP excelled under the good-ole-boy-ole-skool leadership of Lemoine? What do you think about double-dip retirement, and no one every getting laid off in the central office? That's the kind of stuff that the voters are tired of cuz. But, let's give the new guy a chance. Also, do you think Tommy's comments were appropriate? Now that was really ole-skool!! - Michael A.

Yes they could have gotten a coach for less without the perks. I too hope he can change things for the better. Old school might work. We already tried a couple of supes from outside the area. THATS one of the reasons the schools are in the shape they are in. Zolkowski built X amount of schools without public input. Easton as much admitted that he could have done more with the schools physical shape. I have suggested that the school board jobs should be made as a volunteer, instead of paid position. Yes, they did ask for a property tax increase, which i suggest to various committee members that it wouldn't pass. I only problem is the free perks that he should be paying for out of his salary, just like his employees do....and not work 10 as a consultant. your either all in or your not - Joe LeBlanc Mon, 02 Jan 2012 20:00:20 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/9620-pooyie-2011#comment-25636 Joe, Why do you think Les Miles is paid so much? Don't you think they could have gotten a coach for a lot less with no perks? What I am saying is, I am tired of the ole-skool politiks in Lafayette Parish! And hopefully this man can change things for the better. Sure, they could have gotten someone less expensive. Just ask the Gang of 4 who they had in the wings. It was probably an ole-skooler just like them. Why do you think Lafayette Parish schools leak, have mold, double dip retirement, etc., etc. My man, most of the politico's are only worried about the free suppers, monthly check and who they can impress when they walk in the resturant. They certainly don't give a $^!# about the students. But they sure know how to ask for BIG property tax increases, don't they? - Michael A.

I would think for that kind of money, he could afford his own car, his own insurance, cell phone and NOT work for someone else while getting paid for it..I mean, its done everyday, including by those he will be getting a hefty salary to be the boss of - Joe LeBlanc Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:58:52 +0100 http://www.theind.com/cover-story/9620-pooyie-2011#comment-25623 Joe, would you rather have a good ole boy (or girl) as the Supt.? Well not me! You don't get the best at a bargain store! Ole Skool politicians are a dying breed, THANK GOD (AND THANK THE VOTERS)! - Michael A.

With so many Coullion's in our area, do you think it's in the water or the kool-aid they drink? - Michael A.
