Failed taxes would be ‘hard felt,’ local officials say

LCG looking at Johnston Street for Downtown drainage aid 

Johnson Street, a Lafayette headache, may also be a solution to flooding issues in Lafayette’s urban core. 

This week, the Boulet administration presented a roughly $12 million project to divert floodwater from Freetown, UL and parts of Downtown into a culvert under Johnston Street.

“The ultimate goal is to not flood structures,” Boulet told a packed crowd at the Downtown library Tuesday night, acknowledging that even if everything were to go perfectly, Downtown roads and yards would still flood. But, she argued, if water were properly diverted, businesses and homes would be better protected. 

By the time Assistant District Attorney Gary Haynes accepted his first check in an alleged kickback scheme, he had been warned that someone was listening.

The drainage project would be part of the larger Johnston Street revitalization program that Boulet has pitched and would involve digging into portions of the road to create drainage space. 

The Johnston Street plan would replace several drainage projects proposed by the Guillory administration but paused by Boulet after taking office in 2024. 

Jimmy Ricks, also the design engineer on several of the discarded projects, argued the Johnston Street solution is a superior fix.  While designs and funding are still tentative, LCG floated a late 2027 start for the project.

Parish Council puts failed millages back on ballot

The Lafayette Parish Council voted unanimously to place two property tax renewals that failed in March back on the ballot in an election set for Nov. 15, 2025. 

The millages combined collect $24 million, primarily funding road maintenance and public health, along with a smaller portion funding drainage.

The first millage, Roads and Bridges, collects roughly $13 million, used for maintaining parish roadways. The second, Public Health, is projected to collect roughly $11 million and covers a grab bag of public health services, including mosquito abatement and fire protection. The allocation to drainage out of that fund is being increased with the renewal.

Voters say they were uncertain of the purpose of local millages renewals. A “Vote No” campaign on four state amendments at the top of the ballot didn’t help.

The renewals narrowly failed the first time they were placed on the ballot alongside four state amendments, as voters across Lafayette turned out to vote no on the state amendments. Many voters at the time expressed their confusion after seeing the millages on the ballot, unsure what they were for and which way to vote on them.

Mayor-President Monique Boulet’s administration is committed to a more active education campaign about the financial benefits of the millages this time around. 

“I think we just need to make sure that we have very clear, concise education materials out there about what services are being provided with the millages,” Boulet said after the millages failed in the spring. 

If they fail to pass again, the road maintenance millage would expire in 2027, and the public health millage would expire in 2026.

Sehr schön 😍, aber das alleine reicht nicht

Es müssen auch Bedingungen geschaffen werden das #Grundwasser entstehen kann

Dafür muss die Fläche, gerade in den Städten, entsiegelt werden

Das #Regenwasser fließt da direkt in irgendwelche Kanäle & ist dann weg

Die #Landwirtschaft ist mit einer #Drainage durchsiebt und oder durch große Maschinen quasi versiegelt worden

Bei uns in #NDS sind das 1/3 der #Ackerflächen

Eine Lösung 👇

Land drainage (Hydrology 💧)

Drainage is the natural or artificial removal of a surface's water and sub-surface water from an area with excess water. The internal drainage of most agricultural soils can prevent severe waterlogging, but many soils need artificial drainage to improve production or to manage water supplies.

Mid-June we spent 2 days on a #Fieldtrip to the #Maade #River in #Wilhelmshaven as part of our #METAscales project
Day 1: Installed two new #SEBA gauges to track water level & conductivity—crucial in our sluice-and-pumping-station-drained catchment. 🔧 🌊 🛠️
Day 2: Gained hands-on experience with our boats & ADCP for bathymetry surveys. 🚤💧🔍
