I would call this an objective loss for EBR. Glad I moved.
How? Jindal did this hole patching move with state offices before he got wide eyed at a presidential run. It didn’t make anything better.
Now voters try to prevent this on a smaller level and it’s just a worse situation?
I don’t see how taking money from a well run system to a poorly managed system helps a current problem. At least this way a government department that is run like a private business actually has to be held accountable as such. Local government workers will find a new job and survive. The responses that act like the sky is falling is just emotional manipulation so they don’t have to change anything. they clearly have been spending outside of their means for sometime.

I voted for him. I don’t think we should pity anyone who wanted the mayor’s seat after a shite show. He knew what he was getting into. He should do what’s right for the city the first 3/4 of his term then people please towards the end of it.

The EBR mayor is the parish president in EBR. Any mayor should replace the offices roles that are not elected each time they have a new mayor. The dems are much better at this and the R’s don’t do this effectively. Political hold-overs don’t hold a purpose to a new admin.

I never said he was a good option, but he was a hell of a lot better choice than keeping the status quo and keeping Broome stick
Hence why he won. But he better evolve sooner than later.

I feel sorry for Sid.
I don’t. He’s a football coach that ran for office under the summation that he was a good leader. He’s not creative and not as honest as he thought. THRIVE is a shining example of that.
He could’ve forced city leaders to go back to the drawing board instead of using emotional manipulation. A good leader does what’s right, not what’s easy.

I’m sure the local mayors will be rip roaring for deconsolidation any minute now. Just you wait
They’ll be forced to de-consolidate if the people keep voting this way if they want to stay n office. Otherwise they’ll be dust in the wind. The people just have to vote firm. If THRIVE was their best plan of action then the constituents will be just fine. Inflation helps folks pay attention to what’s truly going on.

we would hold the majority in every parish-wide election for the new parish government. Be careful what you wish for.
They wouldn’t all vote the same way each time. You had folks in NBR voting against THRIVE because they wanted NBR to be revitalized. Doesn’t seem like that’s in the plans anytime soon.
The responses that I saw to this was that NBR citizens want their side of town revitalized first.
To add another layer to those desires is that all real estate in this city is ridiculously overvalued by property owners and not maintained. That’s not gonna change overnight and slightly in a decade at best. The city isn’t worth what it’s marketed for. But we’ll keep hearing emotional manipulative statements and veiled threats of be careful what you wish for.
We’re not gonna tax our way out of this problem. The sooner folks realize that, we’ll be able to get going in the right direction and find a system that’s separated for less corruption and actually serves its constituents.

Congrats on making EBR worse
K.
If making BR worse includes diverging from the city/parish model of municipal government then sign me up.
If the asshats in local government can’t see that people dealing with inflation don’t want more taxes then I don’t know how to help them remove their heads out of their asses.
The THRIVE plan was as disingenuous as it gets. Trust the process was the message. The people replied with change the process. Welcome to suffrage.

You’re looking at two poor choices. And by the time you buy an elk tag and travel to Idaho, you will not have saved any money.
I don’t think anyone saves money elk hunting :lol:. That being said, what would your other option be?

The m1a is a bit more cumbersome for hunting. The marlin would likely be easier to tote around. If you plan to shoot more than 200 yards often, the M1A might be better suited caliber-wise.
I’m a big baw so that shouldn’t be an issue. But the distance you bring up is exactly why I wanted to reach out to y’all. Seems like it’s a situational ask and solution either way.

Great info and thanks for the response.

An M1A with a scope is a very big and heavy rig. Difficult to make into a very accurate rifle. Scope mounts are complicated and expensive. It’s a battle rifle, made to be reliable and durable enough to bayonet and beat people to death. Its a .308 so obviously will work well for big game.
My buddy lives in Idaho, and I figured that the M1A would be better for Elk hunting. I figured since the M1A can shoot 7.62 with a soft top and a .308 that I had more discretion in round choice for what I was going after in Idaho. Cheaper to go up there and hunt with him on BLM land than trying to setup a lease situation here.

Marlins make fine hunting rifles. They aren't going anywhere in the immediate future. Quite expensive for what they are but if its what you like, itll be easier to hunt with than an M1A.
I agree and love lever actions, I want both of these rifles at some point but am just looking for advice on which to grab this Black Friday.
I was leaning on a .357 or .44 caliber for the lever action but I think I will lean toward the 45-70 and 30-30 instead.

I’ve got $500 in BassPro/Cabelas gift cards and am having a hard time deciding between a Springfield M1A Scout and a Marlin Lever Action.
I want to use either for hunting and feel like the M1A is the better choice. I feel like Springfield M1As aren’t going anywhere while Marlin lever actions are harder to get.
Undecided on a caliber for the Marlin lever action, but I just wanted the board‘s opinion.
