TALK ON THE STREET

What residents are saying about today’s issues

FELTON AUTHEMENT

Raceland

Make the government smaller. They say there’s no money, but they keep on making the government bigger and bigger. So who’s getting all the money? The government.

AKERIA BOLDEN

Houma

There’s too much violence and they should put it to a stop. If they were to put more money into law enforcement then they would protect [the public] more of the way they should.

MARCUS REDDOCH

Houma

I would think that they should look to reallocate the current tax base instead of looking for new taxes. And look at putting money in the infrastructure. Roads and highways.

SANTO REYES

Bayou Blue

They should consider the honest working people who try to do everything in accordance with the their laws. There are many (non-citizens) who try to do everything else that law-abiding citizens do.

JANET

WICKERSHAM

Bayou Blue

I stay out of politics! Politics and religion, that’s something I definitely stay out of.

HUBERT JOSEPH

Vacherie

Cut back state taxes. I don’t mind paying taxes if they put it toward a good cause. What about our senior citizens? What about our people who served in the war? Help those people out.
