LP News

The public has voted against this twice recently. But they’re just going to keep adding it to the ballot until it finally gets passed on some low turnout election. There should be rules against this.

Looks like this time they’re going to try to sneak the fee onto your water bill - the last time it was a separate bill and almost no one paid for it because it either didn’t work or didn’t come near your home. So, now you can’t avoid paying it even though it won’t work and very likely won’t go anywhere near many people’s homes.

Bastards.

All that does is give Councilman Jimmy Joe's brother in law a job driving the sprayer truck. The mosquitoes will give zero fricks.

But you won't see any lightning bugs in your neighborhood on summer nights any more.

I for one refused to pay the original abatement fees b/c those fog trucks were absolutely useless.

You should run. We’ve replaced the entire council a couple of times in a row now.

Yeah they don't realize all of the other things that it affects. Plus all these chemicals make it back into the drinking system, and does the city have the proper filters to filter out these added chemicals? Plus as many has said, they will be almost impossible to stop giving the swamps and such.

Biggest myth on this board unless by “top” you mean hiring your brother-in-law.

The abatement does as much good in LP as the +15% combined state and local taxes in Denham Springs.

Scared the spray will cause a meth lab explosion? Typical LP poors mentality...

A significant portion of the mosquitos that impact your every day life are those Asian Tigers, and those only live around your home. They can fly a few hundred feet from their breeding area max. Nothing wrong with trying to wipe those out.
