Lafayette Deconsolidation? Vote is tomorrow.

No split

More councils means more tax dollars wasted

How is everyone from Laffy voting?

I'm voting no.
1)The way they went about getting this on the ballot was shady as shite.
2) This split would create 2 councils and zoning commissions.
3) They redrawing of the parish council could result in all council members being from inside the city limits of Lafayette.


This is a bad deal that a few people who are term limited are trying to shove down the throats of the voters.

Screw them all. I'm not setting up a system where they can jump from city to parish council back and forth.

Vote no

I’m just here to say that Lafayette is superior to Baton Rouge in every way except 7 Saturday’s in the fall.

I’ll just come out and ask -

Would a split allow for a black mayor in Lafayette?

(no message)

Yes on split

Yes on law enforcement tax

Wait a minute, i thought doing that is racist?

I have no idea how Lafayette citizens were talked into "consolidating" with little satellite towns, each of which still maintains almost full autonomy.

Actually, I do. It's because you're fricking stupid, but Lafayette is now outnumbered and controlled by non-Lafayette people. They have a majority that you/we will never overcome, and the city will be ruled by the country, choosing its own financial benefit over all others, for the foreseeable future.

But I'd love to have heard the sales pitch. Lafayette basically handed the controls to a buncha provincial idiots (and the slime who migrated there to mold their mushy little minds in their own image), and got NOTHING in return.
