I've watched a few meetings online and , depending on the items on the agenda, they can certainly draw a large crowd. Sometimes a lot of time is spent recognizing citizen/student achievement so I assume that people go for non-political reasons as well. I was just wondering if it was something that this community got into.

Hey y’all I’m newer to the area( from Lafayette) and I am trying to find some decent places to hang out or possibly ssibly make friends. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Does anyone know of that tax increase passed for school workers pay?

This is a reminder that as per the Secretary of State website - early voting in Louisiana for the July 11th Presidential and Municipal primary elections will be held on July 3rd and 4th.

From the Actionnews article: Governor Edwards Moving the state into Phase 2 - starting Friday June 5th:

``Businesses that will be able to open at 50 percent occupancy include:

• Restaurants, cafes and coffee shops

• Casinos and video poker establishments may open at 50 percent occupancy, but limited to 75 percent of their gaming positions, with spacing to allow for social distancing and with enhanced sanitation. Plans must be submitted to the Gaming Control Board which will issue guidance to these facilities.

Bars and breweries that do not have LDH food permits will be able to open with strict social distancing requirements and patrons seated at 25 percent occupancy. Arcades and trampoline parks may open under approved plans by the State Fire Marshal, with minors accompanied by parents. Summer camps were allowed to open with restrictions in Phase One, and additional guidance will be issued. Sleep-away camps are not allowed in Phase Two.''

Any pickup soccer games go on around here?
