EBR Council on Aging buys full page ad thanking taxpayers

The East Baton Rouge Parish Council on Aging is thanking voters in the parish for passing a controversial dedicated millage in late 2016 to fund the agency with a full-page ad on the back of the community news sections of The Advocate today.
quote:
“Thank you to the EBR Taxpayers,” the ad says below the following text: “EBR Council on Aging … feeding seniors 365 days, no more waiting lists, 515,240 senior meals, 2.2 million dollars.”
quote:
“It’s unfortunate they still don’t get it,” says Metro Councilman Dwight Hudson, who was among those who opposed the millage increase and tried unsuccessfully last year to block its authorization. “They need to focus on our seniors, period.”
quote:
It’s unclear how much the COA spent on the full-page ad. A rate card from The Advocate provided by a local ad agency shows the price could range from as little as $668 per week for a 52-week buy to more than $1,100 for a one-time ad.

Did it have a footnote at the bottom saying "By the way, you paid for this thank you note also"?

Freiberg will lose reelection because of this crap. I voted for her last time, and she will not be receiving my vote this time.

I will dedicate my time during the next election cycle to ensure this stupid bitch never sees a council seat again.

She has no backbone and should lose. It's BS that she capitulates to Tarsha and the mayor. Be gone.
