I wonder how many pot holes in the city could be fixed for $600K?

They could tear up a lot of asphalt and put a lot of cones out. Fixing them? Nah

Has anyone heard of the contractor before?


quote:

The company is a licensed construction contractor in Louisiana that lists a variety of specialties, including heavy construction and demolition, in filings with the state. Those filings also list the firm as qualifying for the state's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program because its owner is black.

Belle Chasse is French for good/beautiful hunting. They may need a smarter researcher.

Good choice. They should also contact Natchitoches and buy "The Good Darkie".

I got banned for it. Don't think anyone else has been and it is used often.

Thanks for info. You would think context plays a part. I try to discuss, not insult. Even those who call my ancestors "treasonous bastards".

I think their logic, and I use the term "logic" very loosely, is that there was a Belle Chasse plantation and slaves worked the plantation. Therefore, "Belle Chasse" is bad.
