Don’t know why Lake Charles voters would take that chance

1. Nic Hunter pissed off a lot of people. Again, lots of white Republicans voted against Hunter (not for Simien)

2. Incumbent fatigue.

Seriously?

Wow.

Nobody is discussing the method of population decrease, only the effects of that strategy.

Do you think he’ll try to anything with the local plants in the lake area?


That's more of a Calcasieu thing, not a Lake Charles thing. Lake Charles city limits doesn't have much of that. I think even the stuff in the south of the Parish is outside the city limits.

You are a bot.

No. One major trait of NPCs is they're repetitive. Another is that they don't understand proper context, what's being discussed, or how to respond.

Hence, the "you seem confused" meme.

They paid for the dossier it was billed to the campaign as legal advice

They facilitated the money transfer. And their role ended there, correct.

A pretender? What was I pretending? :rotflmao:

Did Abe's close or something?

2/3 closed

The one that exists is a check cashing and hair place I think. It's the one on Highway 14 just south of 12th

They have a Market Basket to the south of Broad Street

3rd sreet MB, yes, but "South of Broad St." is "South Lake Charles" to them

quote:

They’re seriously crying about food deserts?

They aren't phrasing it in these terms. They're just thinking of tactile "investments" in NLC and ignoring all the actual government work done on government property.

Like I said, NLC's issues are because it's losing population, not because the city government is "ignoring" them.

One of the mailouts I received.

This is the PAC

Why they decided to jump into the LC Mayor's race, I have no idea.

No sorry. I meant they fricked up getting this passed when the whole point of putting it on this day was so they could rig the vote.

It’s an easy ploy to trick conservative people in LC into voting for a Dem.

Marshall has been in LC/Calcasieu politics for decades. He's not sneaking up on anybody in 2025 :lol:

I don't know. These things are typically automatic when you have a large organization. The DA employees + their families should sway the vote. That's why they put the vote on this ballot and not in November, I reckon.

I don’t ever remember a prospect that had the entire black community up in arms about where he got picked.

In a year where the #1 overall pick was a black QB :lol:

What is Lousiana's obsession with having voting on random arse Saturdays?

Allows the organizations to rig the elections and pass their tax increases/renewals.

How the DA fricked it up is beyond comprehension.
quote:

Low low low turnout. In general that's probably good for renewals and bad for new taxes.

But it also is a strategy by large organizations (like the DAs office) to rig the vote by letting them flood the low turnout with members of the organization and their families.
quote:

Yikes, what happened?

I stay out of politics, but my read is Nic upset a lot of people who mattered and then didn't handle the debate well and there was a lot of momentum.

Also an out of state PAC spent an ungodly amount on attack ads.

But at the end of the day, a ton of white Republicans from SLC voted against Hunter.

Bro, the #1 stated goal which was inscribed on the GG's was "Reduce and maintain world population at around 500 million people."

1) I didn't make this up. That was the #1 stated goal. No "conspiracy theory," dude.

The theory that these stones have any meaning of substance is the conspiracy theory. They are almost assuredly the work of a random crackpot

quote:

How do you "humanely" reduce the world's population from almost 8 billion to approximately 500 million?

Why are you changing the subject?
I didn't watch but I said it was likely campaign talk

There just isn't really much that can be done in NLC. One of the big things they bitch about is not having a grocery store. I have no idea what the mayor can do about that.
quote:

It’s going to be about the same result as dumping millions into inner city schools of Baltimore. You know where I’m going with this.

NLC is basically a ghost town these days compared to the past.

The black migration to Oak Park and the adjacent areas really did a number on NLC.

NLC just gets token lip service, but the reason why there isn't that much investment is because the population is decreased.

The real divide in LC is east v. West more than north/south these days
