MAJOR BUCKS FOR DISTRICTS A AND F IN BOND PAKCAGE DESPITE NON ENDORSEMENT BY TAYLOR AND GREEN

It becomes more and more evident each month that council members Tabatha Taylor of District A and James Green of District G will use any means to foil Mayor Tom Arceneaux, even if it means cutting off their faces.

Taylor is still ticked off that her BFF Ron Lattier was not retained by Mayor Tom as City Attorney. No telling why Green still carries a grudge--maybe from his arrest for assaulting a local retail worker when he barged into an optical shop or maybe the stop by SPD for windows tinted too dark.

Both of the malcontents endorsed Adrian Perkins in the last mayor's race. They then endorsed Senator Greg Tarver in the run-off election.

Maybe it’s a "God thing". Taylor goes to the church owned by Green and usually totes the water for her pastor. Green's comments from the council dais often are not reflective of a Man of God, but then that’s a different discussion.

In the Streets and Drainage bond proposition $13.7 million is designated for streets in District A and $5 million for drainage--a total of $18.7 million. Green's District F has street projects budgeted for $21.2 million and $2 million for drainage for a total of $23.2 million.

Only District B is slated for more funding for streets and drainage in the bond package. The $22.5 million allocation includes $6 million for medical corridor improvements and $5.1 million for Claiborne Avenue to Hearne to Linwood.

Voters do not vote for individual projects in the three bond proposals: Streets and Drainage, Water and Sewer; Police, Fire and SPAR. Thats a good thing for the citizens of District A and District F. One wonders if these citizens are aware of the disservice their council representative are providing for them.
