Unfortunately, Doc is outmanned and outgunned at the moment, but the elections this year could change that, especially if Clint gets elected parish president.
For a few years following Doc I thought that too. But in the last 1.5 yrs or so, 3 guys out there added me from Doc's page and are coming out swinging to change the leadership culture out in the AP.
Brandon Gholson ,Jeff Petit, and Devin Graham talk a good game and gaining momentum. I would vote for them if they run for some shite I can vote on .
I'm new to G-tizzle btwizzle. No longer in 70808.

In all honesty the solution to the problem is multifaceted:
1. ALL ditches need to be cleaned out and redug.
2. Most culverts in the parish are very old and too small. Replace them.
3. Dredge all the drainage canals/rivers (Amite, New River, Manchac, Henderson, etc.). Make them deeper.
4. I'm fine with all the new development as long as the new drainage systems are functional. (more on that below)
5. Enforce litter laws - litter is clogging out drainage outlets. Raise mandatory fines to $1,000 for first offenses in the parish.
6. Add more outlets (culverts) below raised roads and highways. Too many of these are acting as levees and preventing water from finding outlets.
Ever pass through all the construction on HWY 42 in Prairieville after a rain? All the BRAND NEW drainage systems put in place to support the new construction are overwhelmed and overflowing. The water isn't draining - it's just sitting there and building up. If the brand new drainage systems put in place aren't working imagine how poorly the older ones are performing!
I'm fine with all the new construction. It brings in tax revenue to the parish which goes to fund our facilities and schools. Just make sure the damn drainage outlets work!
