It’s would cheaper, WAY cheaper, to give the 2-3 people per route that actually use the buses to get to work a preloaded Uber or Lyft card. Get rid of 80% of the buses and drivers, the drivers would have no problem finding work driving trucks (where there’s a real shortage). And an even bigger positive is that we would have less mug shots of the Shyster’s Hall of Fame to look at.

BREC?
The jobs factory for unemployable relatives of the Black Misleadership Class?
They don’t have a single employee qualified to shovel manure in a feedlot.

There is no such thing as a trans kid. Only virtue signaling "parents" who care more about social media likes than the inevitable teen suicide brought on about irreversible body mutilation encouraged by the woke. But hey, at least you got a like, right? And isn't that what it's all about?

Perkins road? Are you talking about the baseball fields across the street from Highland road park? Those fields are absolute dog shite, filled with ants, the grass doesn't get cut unless you complain, the lights to the fields don't work half the time, and the bathrooms are permanently locked. Not to mention, the fields themselves, are a safety hazard for kids to play on with all the holes.

And, despite it being completely tax payer funded, you have to pay someone at BREC for each time you want to use the field.

Same gripe i have for BREC on burbank. We pay a shite load of money to BR Soccer Club for our kid to practice out there and i'm curious how much of the $350-375/kid goes to BREC "administrator" to launder?

My kid's fine. But your entitled to your opinion. Just please keep in mind we don't need any Christian do-gooders to confiscate our library books or harass the trans kids, the school is fine without it. Thanks.


Congrats on the outstanding grammar lessons that you no doubt received in an EBRP public school.

What in the actual frick is all of this?

I pointed out that the school system is a scam on us taxpayers because of the fricked up bus system, the ridiculous leadership, and the fact that almost every school in this parish has become a glorified daycare for parents of kids age 4-17.

I am not going to show up to your kid's school to confiscate library books and I barely consider myself Christian.

But since you mentioned it, there is no such thing as a "trans kid". The sooner you come to that reality, the sooner some of your anger may go away.

The phucking Sewer Use Tax.

This was passed during the 1980s because of a EPA mandate .

One of my civil engineering professors would bitch about this tax not being needed constantly.
The fee keeps increasing and I see no evidence of any sewer improvement work taking place in the damn parish. In fact it appears that the ‘new’ south treatment facility is not being maintained as it should be.

This tax needs to go away yesterday. Where the Hell is this money going to? Someone’s personal slush fund?

No, I'm talking about Perkins @ Kenilworth... and as far as the Highland Road park I'm speaking about the main part with the tennis courts, splash pad, indoor recreation facility, frisbee golf course and jogging trail.

Well said. About the OP, I think CATS is the biggest scam.

Also, I had no idea that I could call the mosquito folks to spray my yard.

Up the hill is way better than the bottoms.

Now that they cleared Bayou Fountain there BREC needs to improve the ball fields there and make them suitable for teams to practice.

Traxton and Brinleigh's parents took out a second mortgage for their kids to practice on a professionally maintained field with a sound system so they can hit BP to their walkup song.

BREC is the only organization in the state of Louisiana that is appropriately managed. Hell its the only organization in Louisiana that has won 1st place national awards. It's the only thing we've done better than most the country. A shining light on this dumspter fire we call home.

I do agree with you on COA and CATS. They are scams

This right here. Paid propaganda. Bill Conti wrote the theme to friggin Rocky. LSU is a literal who’s who of artists, musicians, and successful entrepreneurs.

But BREC is the best thing in Louisiana. A nasty zoo, the signature park is a homeless encampment, several former administrations resigned two steps ahead of the law…

BREC is every bit as bad as the rest. Selling off properties to sleazy developers, will not convince me some money didn’t go into personal accounts. Escaped scrutiny for years bc Collis Temple was involved, and any poking around their little operation brought out Dale Brown and the rest of the racist screamers.

It’s been years since we’ve had any real investigative reporters in this market, the only one we’ve had got fired for going after BRPD and our idiot Mayor
