Governor: Spend surplus on roads, colleges, local projects
Y
By MELINDA DESLATTE Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) W John Bel Ed— Gov. wards wants to spend two-thirds of a $123 million Louisiana surplus on road and bridge work, college building repairs and local construction projects, a lengthy list of small-dollar items that would spread the money across the state. The Democratic governor released his proposal for divvying up the cash Wednesday. Lawmakers will determine how to use the dollars left over from the last budget year in their current legislative session. Under Louisiana’s constitution, $12 million of the surplus must pay down retirement debt and nearly $31 million must be carved off the top for the state’s “rainy day” fund. That leaves about $80 million left for spending. The dollars are restricted to onetime expenses. “We are making a substantial investment in our state,” Edwards said. The plan includes 23 transportation projects, See Surplus Page 3-A

Lafourche tax revenue suffers largest drop in decades, Terrebonne’s remains stable By Julia Arenstam Daily Comet Staff Writer
Lafourche Parish is feeling the trickledown effects of low oil and gas prices two years later, Tax Assessor Wendy Thibodeaux said. Taxable property values in Lafourche Parish dropped by almost 10 percent, or $103.7 million, in 2017. That is the largest recorded drop shown in records since since 1975. The second-largest drop
Offshore vessels dock in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Larose. Tax collections are down in Lafourche because so many vessels are docked, officials say.

occurred when values decreased by 6.33 percent, or $13 million, in 1986. The decreased property values last year meant that tax revenue went down $11.7 million from 2016 to 2017. Thibodeaux said she anticipated the drop at the end of 2016 by looking at the local economy and the decline in oil and gas prices. Property tax revenue usually sees the effects about two years later, she said. Those effects later trickle down to residential real estate, a trend she is now starting to notice in Thibodaux as home prices are decreasing. Because watercraft make up about 38 percent of the parish’s total taxable value, they’re a good indicator of the local economy, Thibodeaux said. The housing market is nowhere near as accurate as indicators, she said. As a result, Lafourche property tax collections will dip below collections from 2013 for the first time. Collections are estimated to be around $120.5 million for 2017. In 2013, collections were $122.5 million and had grown to $132.2 million by 2016. See Revenues Page 3-A
$100,000 from Lafourche Parish government for what the town claims was promised for a seawall finished last year. “I am writing in order to voice my discouragement with your actions regarding this matter,” Golden Meadow Mayor Joey Bouziga wrote last week in a letter to Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle. “In spite of the funds being budgeted for the past three consecutive years and December’s unanimous resolution of the Lafourche Parish Council in favor of upholding the Parish’s financial commitment, you refuse to make the agreed upon contribution.” Cantrelle, in an emailed response to the Daily Comet and The Courier’s questions, denies that the parish owes the money. “There is no active cooperative endeavor agreement between the parish and town of Golden Meadow for the Golden Meadow Seawall project,” Cantrelle said. “Since [the] council set aside funds without an agreement, the parish is not obligated to pay and faces no legal ramifications.” See Dispute Page 3-A
Equal pay, minimum wage bills die in La. House committee
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana lawmakers have voted to keep the state minimum wage as low as possible under federal law and spurned a proposal to make state contractors pay men and women equally. The House labor committee Thursday first killed a bill forcing companies with state contracts to pay male and female employees doing similar jobs the same amount. It then voted down a measure that would establish a minimum wage of $15
an hour. New Orleans Rep. Joe Bouie sponsored both bills. He says Louisiana is endorsing discrimination by not mandating equal pay from state contractors. He also said the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour is insufficient. Opponents say most employers can’t pay $15 and existing laws already ensure equal pay. The Senate rejected similar proposals Tuesday.

Emergency quarantine for Roseau cane scale
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana has ordered an emergency quarantine to try to slow the spread of a tiny invasive insect that destroys roseau cane, a plant that holds together delicate wetland soil. Roseau cane scale has damaged more than 100,000 acres of wetlands. It threatens the health and welfare of Louisiana’s wetlands, and possibly sorghum, sugarcane and rice industries, according to the emergency declaration. A news release Wednesday from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry said the quarantine began Monday. Waterfowl hunters may take quarantined cane up to one-quarter mile from its original location if it stays within the quarantine area, according to the release. And clean nursery stock may be moved within quarantined areas under a special permit issued by the department.
The quarantine covers everything south of Louisiana Highway 10 from the Mississippi state line to the intersection of Highway 171 in Vernon Parish, then south on 171 to Highway 190 in DeRidder and west on Highway 190 to the Sabine River. Twenty-six entire parishes are quarantined: Acadia, Ascension, Assumption, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron, East and West Baton Rouge, Iberia, Iberville, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafayette, Lafourche, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. James, St. John, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Terrebonne, and Vermillion. The quarantine also covers parts of 10 parishes south of Louisiana Highway 10: Allen, East and West Feliciana, Evangeline, Pointe Coupee, St. Landry, St. Helena, Vernon, Tangipahoa, and Washington.

Revenues From 1-A
Property tax collections in Lafourche were steadily growing since 2006, according to statistics provided by the assessor’s office. For 2018, Thibodeaux said, she is predicting another 5 percent to 8 percent drop in taxable value. “I’m optimistic it’s not going to be as much,” she said. Terrebonne Parish property tax revenue, meanwhile, has fared better. Terrebonne revenue for 2017 increased by about $1.7 million, or about 1.9 percent, from 2016. Terrebonne’s total property tax revenue for 2017 was lower than Lafourche, reaching about $92.4 million. However, the totals can be deceiving, Terrebonne Assessor Loney Grabert said. A reassessment in 2016 helped the parish recover some losses on the business side. In 2017, some larger boats were added to the parish’s rolls that helped increase the total value, he said. “The good thing is still we’re showing positive result. How long we can maintain that, I don’t know,” Grabert said. Since 2013, Terrebonne property tax collections have steadily increased by a total of 9.5 percent, with each year ranging from 0.1 percent to 4.7 percent increases. “We’re not as heavily relied on the marine industry,” Parish President Gordy Dove said. “We have more machine shops and manufacturing shops that are diversified in other areas.” Terrebonne’s shipyards are also diversified into non-oilfield markets, Dove said. While real estate in Terrebonne is slowing down, with inventory increasing and homes remaining on the market for longer periods of time, Grabert said, that represents just a portion of the overall property tax revenue. Business properties account for about 70 percent to 80 percent of the tax base, he said. Sales tax collections also dropped slightly in Lafourche Parish from 2016 to 2017, while Terrebonne saw a slight increase. Lafourche sales tax fiscal years run from July to June, but according to monthly collection totals, the parish collected $73.9 million in 2016 and $72.4 million in 2017. Terrebonne sales tax collections were higher, bringing in about $115.8 million in 2016 and $116.4 million in 2017. Motor vehicle tax collections in Terrebonne also increased by about 6 percent, up to $11.1 million, while hotel and motel taxes decreased by 3.4 percent to roughly $1.2 million. Dove said the parish is predicting a 2.75 percent increase in sale tax revenue in 2018. If Terrebonne’s rev-
enue keeps increasing, Dove said, he hopes to restore some of the budget cuts made to his departments and give employees a 2 percent cost of living raise. Lafourche Parish President Jimmy Cantrelle did not return requests for comment. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Julia Arenstam can be reached at 448-7636 or julia. arenstam@houmatoday.com.

Cantrelle said he had not responded to Bouziga’s letter as of today, (Tues., Mar. 27 publication date). Bouziga addressed the Parish Council twice last year, on Oct. 23 and Nov. 14, about the situation. During both meetings, Cantrelle said the parish didn’t have the money. He also said the parish never signed a cooperative agreement with the town promising the money. Similar projects have been given money from the parish without a formal agreement, Bouziga said in an interview Monday. The $1.4 million floodwall runs along Bayou Lafourche near the south end of Golden Meadow and was completed in 2017. Money has been set aside for the past three budget years, Bouziga claims. The Parish Council agreed in 2015 to give the town $100,000 in a budget amendment. According to budget documents, the council again approved the money in 2016. The South Lafourche Levee District and the Greater Lafourche Port Commission each contributed $100,000. Golden Meadow was originally budgeted to pay $50,000, but without the parish’s support, it has footed the additional $100,000 bill. On Dec. 12, the council passed a resolution requesting the administration pay the money. “Your actions will force the town to forego important projects and operate in a diminished capacity in order to compensate for the extra $100,000 for which it has relied upon the parish,” Bouziga wrote in the letter. The town is investigating whether it has any legal right to the money, Bouziga said. In the meantime, the town’s limited budget will be cut to make up for the cost, he said. “I have little confidence that the town and parish can continue the many years of cooperation in servicing the needs of the citizens of Golden Meadow under your tenure as parish president,” Bouziga says in the letter. — Daily Comet Staff Writer Julia Arenstam can be reached at 448-7636 or julia. arenstam@houmatoday.com.

Surplus
From 1-A
199 small-dollar construction projects, community water projects, local government aid and a $10 million block
of money for college campus maintenance. “Every corner of the state will receive funding for these projects,” the governor said. Lawmakers might have other ideas for the spending, however. Some House Republican leaders, including Speaker Taylor Barras, have suggested more of the surplus should go to the rainy day fund to repay dollars taking from the account last year to pay state government expenses. The surplus is from the 2016-17 financial year that ended June 30, when tax collections exceeded revenue projections. The dollars can’t be used to help close a budget gap in the upcoming year that begins July 1, because of constitutional restrictions on surplus money. Edwards also outlined his priorities for
spending about $200 million in unspent cash from the current budget year. The governor proposes using the money to pay down debts owed to FEMA for Louisiana’s share of disaster recovery expenses and to managed-care companies in the Medicaid program. He also seeks upgrades to the state’s financial management computer system and spending on legal judgments against the state. House GOP leaders have different ideas for some of that money, however, including proposals that would help lessen next year’s budget shortfall. Edwards objects to such maneuvers as a shortterm fix that creates budget problems in later years. ___ Follow Melinda Deslatte on Twitter at http://twitter.com/melindadeslatte

Groundbreaking held for $14M Bollinger Canopy of Peace
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A groundbreaking was held for the $14 million Bollinger Canopy of Peace, which will serve as the defining architectural feature of the National World Museum and the newest distinctive addition to the New Orleans skyline, news outlets reported. Work began Wednesday on the bright white canopy that’ll be about a dozen stories high, news outlets reported. The Canopy - a steel lattice framework supporting Teflon-coated fiberglass panels - will be 482 feet long and 134 feet wide, held aloft by four steel legs anchored in more than 1,260 cubic yards of concrete, according to a news release. The sprawling threepointed expanse was designed as a visually unifying feature for buildings that make up the museum, The Advocate reported. It will partially shade the interior of the museum’s 6-acre campus during the day and will be programmed with colored lighting that officials say could make the museum a destination in the evenings when the canopy is completed in November. The canopy’s steel is zinc-coated and made up of a frame-and-truss system that has been tested in a wind tunnel. The museum said it exceeds American Society of Civil Engineers safety standards to withstand
the most extreme tropical storm winds. The 825-ton structure was designed as a visually unifying feature for the buildings that make up the museum, which started as a modest endeavor to commemorate the June 6, 1944, Allied invasion of Normandy using New Orleans-built Higgins boats, The Advocate reported. But, it has blossomed to become the official museum of the U.S. involvement in World War II. The canopy was designed by the New Yorkbased firm Voorsanger Mathes and made possible with a 2015 gift from longtime museum trustee Donald T. “Boysie” Bollinger and his wife, Joy. The canopy’s architect, Bart Voorsanger, said he wanted the design to represent the notion of peace through strength. The former first lieutenant in the United States Army said two of the four legs come together before they contact the earth, creating an asymmetry that signifies the complexity of the path to peace. “Like the Museum as a whole, the canopy will celebrate America’s strength when we all come together with hopes of securing peace and liberation,” Voorsanger said. The museum is entering the final stretch of its development into a $400 million complex.

FOUND
As I was riding my bicycle on the North Service road about 4 days ago, I saw a “bag” on the shoulder on the east bound lane (going to Hwy-1). I stopped & opened it and saw some power tools and accessories for the power tools. I am estimating it has 200 to 300 dollars of power tools in it. If anyone knows which carpenter or contractor lost a container of tools like these, ask them to call Dick at 985-537-5684. In order to ensure it’s the rightful owner, he will describe what he actually lost in detail on that North Service Road. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD. ________________________

Agent: Tight end Watson returning to Saints on 1-year deal
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Benjamin Watson’s agent says the veteran tight end has agreed to return to the New Orleans Saints. Drew Rosenhaus tells The Associated Press in an email that Watson has agreed to a one-year contract with New Orleans, where he has posted some of his most impressive seasons of his 14year career. Watson posted career highs of 74 catches and 825 yards receiving with the Saints in 2015, the third and final year of his prior stint in New Orleans. He also tied a career high with six TDs that season. He spent the past two years with Baltimore, but did not play in 2016 because of a right Achilles tear. He came back last season, playing in all 16 games and catching 61 passes for 522 yards and four TDs. Watson began his career with New England, which made him a latefirst-round draft choice out of Georgia in 2004. More AP www.pro32.ap.org www.twitter.com/AP_NFL

14-year-old charged after crashing into motorcycle; 2 dead
NFL: and
GONZALES, La. (AP) — A 14-year-old driving a car down a highway in the middle of the night is under arrest after police said he collided with a motorcycle, killing both of its riders. WBRZ-TV cites a Louisiana State Police news release that says 42-year-old Robert Stafford and 45-year-old Dusty Duet were pronounced dead at the scene shortly before 2 a.m. on Monday. It says the 14-yearold crossed into oncoming traffic on Louisiana Highway 74 and crashed head-on into their motorcycle. The teen eventually hit a utility pole and was
hospitalized with moderate injuries. Police don’t suspect he was impaired. The boy’s charges include unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and two counts of negligent homicide. Information from: WBRZTV, http://www.wbrz.com

LA has second largest monthly unemployment decline in the country
BATON ROUGE, La. Louisiana’s latest unemployment rate of 4.5 percent, a rate that is 1.2 percent lower than the rate a year ago, is the second largest decrease in a state’s year over year unemployment rate in the nation. “This is great news for our state and is further evidence that our workforce is getting stronger and that we are moving in the right direction,” said Gov. John Bel Edwards. “We have not seen our unemployment rate this low since February of 2008. This is why it is critical that we continue investing in our workforce training programs, which are clearly paying off.” Louisiana’s February unemployment rate of 4.5 percent is a decrease of 0.1 percent from January. The number of unemployed in February was 95,099. The last time there were fewer seasonally adjusted unemployed individuals was in May 2008. ___
Canadian teen wins $1K a week for life on 1st lottery ticket
QUEBEC CITY (AP) — A Canadian teenager who purchased her first lottery ticket to celebrate her 18th birthday hit the jackpot and will receive $1,000 Canadian a week for the rest of her life. Charlie Lagarde was celebrating with a bottle of champagne and a $4 scratch-off ticket earlier this month when she hit the grand prize in the Gagnant a Vie lottery. The prize would be worth just over $775 per week in American dollars. She collected the first payment on Monday and told lottery officials that she hopes to study photography.
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, things may seem to be going smoothly when something unexpected pops up out of the blue. Thinking quickly will ensure you do not miss a step. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you may want to help solve a problem at work, but in this case, it might be best to let others draw their own conclusions. Take a step back. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, teamwork is the name of the game in the days ahead. If you learn to work with others, seemingly unsolvable problems can be solved rather easily. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, your performance at work is a topic of discussion this week. Others’ recognition of your hard work will provide a confidence boost. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Communication between you and close friends this week is a breeze, Leo. You are able to tackle quite a number of subjects and may even plan a brief getaway trip.
VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your week starts out on solid footing. All you need to do is maintain the status quo for the next few days and things will progress in the way that you expect. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Be proud of the way you are able to remain neutral in complex situations, Libra. This is why others will come to you when they need advice in the days ahead. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, others may misinterpret your willingness to offer an opinion as intrusive. Reassure them that you are just offering help, not trying to pry. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are tempted to color outside the lines and break all sorts of boundaries. But at this juncture in time, it may be better to play things a bit more moderately. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, if you are serious about your goals, you have to hunker down this week and draw out a plan. Seeing things in black and white will help you set your course.
Join the Lafourche Parish Public Library for the coolest event around, Challenge Island, a oneof-a-kind STEAM program during which children and teens work in tribes on a unique “island” experience to transform their library into an amusement park. This program is open to children and teens ages 5 and up and will be held at 10 a.m. on April 3 at the Lockport Branch Library and at 1 p.m. on April 3 at the South Lafourche Library. Children and teens can code, construct, create, and more with engaging STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) resources at the Library, thanks to a $5,000 after-school STEAM grant. The library is one of 14 library systems across the country to receive a grant for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association. With the grant funds, the library purchased STEAM resources to host STEAM programs for children and teens daily every Monday through Thursday at each of its library branches now through the end of the summer. Programs are ongoing. Check with your local library branches for program times. Adults wanting to better their English language skills can attend free English as a Second Language (ESL) classes beginning April 5 at the South Lafourche Library. The South Lafourche Branch was one of 20 library systems in the United States to receive an 2018 American Dream literacy grant. Classes will be held on Thursdays at 5:30 p.m. in April. More classes are being scheduled. Those interested can call the library at 985-632-7140 and ask for Carmen to sign up or for more information. Each year, the Lafourche Parish Public Library celebrates National Library Week, and this year is no exception.

What a Life!
By: Rev. Wilmer L. Todd Jesus’ Resurrection gives us hope of a better life now and forever
Easter is the greatest feast of hope that we could ever celebrate. We humans are always in need of hope. The hope that we have through the resurrection of Christ is a hope that touches every part of our lives here on earth and reaches beyond this life to the next. When Jesus rose from the dead, almost 2,000 years ago, God released a power into the world that no one could stop. This power roamed the planet and found its ways into the hearts of millions and millions of people, from one century to the next until it reached us. When we come together on Easter Sunday, we are united by the hope that there is more to life than what we are now experiencing. The hope of Christ’s resurrection is that this powerful event can touch every part of our existence even the dark and despairing situation in which we find ourselves. It can bring light into the dark corners of our lives. It’s easy for the powers of darkness to insert their influences over us. Jesus’ resurrection from the dead promises hope in all dark situations, promising to bring life out of death. Easter addresses two kinds of death in a most powerful way: the death caused by sin, and the physical death that each of us must undergo. One of the greatest messages of hope that Easter gives is that we will be freed from our own dark creations, from our own sinfulness. Sometimes the greatest

source of our despair is our own inability to live with the sin that we have committed. They tell the story of a man who had been living under a terrible burden of guilt for many years. He had done something immoral that no one else knew about and he was convinced that he was beyond all hope of forgiveness. Finally, he met a woman who claimed to be a mystic. She maintained to have visions in which Christ appeared and spoke to her. Seeking to test her claim, the man said to her, “You say that you speak directly with Christ in your visions. I have a secret that no one else on earth knows. The next time you are in conversation with Christ, please ask him what sin I committed years ago that has destroyed my peace of soul.” The mystic said that she would gladly ask Christ that question. Several days later, the two met again. The man asked, “Did you visit with Christ in a vision?” “Yes,” she answered. “And did you ask him what terrible sin I committed years ago?” Again she answered, “Yes.” “Tell me, what did Christ say?” “He said, ‘I forgot.’” Wow! Isn’t it strange that we hold onto our sinfulness long after God has let it go? This is the beautiful message that God wants to write on our hearts this Easter season. In the Acts of the Apostles we read, “He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name” (Acts 10:42-43). The second death that Easter frees us from is physical death. None of us can control this aspect of our lives. We must face this reality, but the promise and hope that Jesus gives through his resurrection can bring hope of a

much better life, one that will never end. Through our Baptism God made us one with the risen Christ. We promised God that we would reject the darkness of sin and live as God’s liberated sons and daughters. Since we made those promises, we have not always been true to them. But Christ doesn’t keep track of our mistakes. His only concern is that we reject those past sins and start again. May this Easter allow us to begin again to live our lives in freedom and peace. Happy Easter!
