Don't blame the Governor, he doesn't make the laws. No matter what happened somewhere else, do you think the Governor would come in here and tell our officials it's ok to break the law??? The law is, prisoners (or the County for that matter) cannot move debris off private property unless it's a life or death situation such as medical personnel trying to get to a dwelling. If you don't like the law, talk to your Legislator. If you start allowing this sort of thing though, you will have prisoners doing work, storm or not, for the sheriff's/supervisor's friends and contributors. Yu open quite a can of worms that way. The Governor has done a great job with this storm and previous storms, and we are lucky to have him.

One player from AC instigated every incident, when he left, the incidents stopped.

Julie-No truer words have ever been written in the Democrat. This is a HUGE problem in our area. Of course, I think they should be open on Saturdays at least until 2:00, and weekdays until 6:00. I went to one business on Main Street recently, and a sign said they were closed for a week...IN THE MIDDLE OF JULY. Crazy.

You are justifying his behavior with the Bible and with Shakespeare? It may have been fine in the Bible (2000+ years ago) and with Romeo and Juliet, but the State of Louisiana has a differing opinion. And no, it would not have been ok if they had been both been 15, but in that case you would not have had an adult taking advantage of a child.

Why does no one want to press charges on the guy? He made a choice to break the law. Y'all act like men are not capable of controlling themselves around any woman.

The girl is a MINOR...it doesn't matter if she consents or begs the guy. She's a MINOR, and it's against the law. She is not at fault here.

The letter was crazy. I saw the letter. The writer's (I assure the Administrator at NCH) mock concern for healthcare in the Miss-Lou was clearly evident in the condescending tone of the letter. He/She should be very embarrassed that something that he/she meant to embarrass the competition has so badly backfired.

All private schools recruit new students. They put ads in the paper, and they have open houses to entice students to come to their school. What's the problem with that?

I read that we are the fattest state. 2 months ago there was an article in the Democrat that said we were the "hungriest" state. So how is that? I am perplexed. Are the wrong people eating?
