332. Part 1 of our
interview with
John-Paul
Young part 1who is running for Caddo Commission District 4. Runs a farm
and a restaurant. Long term mosquito reduction — We can combat
mosquitoes more safely with natural sprays, better water
management, and repellent plants that don’t harbor pests. Humane
animal shelter — We should transition to a no-kill shelter while
expanding neuter/spay programs and responsible adoption and
ownership programs. Smart water use — Water is the new oil, a
scarce and valuable commodity. We can cheaply develop systems to
capitalize on our ample rainfall and participate in the growing
regional water market. Agricultural Wealth — Caddo possesses a
huge land area but no home grown food supply, and food is the
number one bought-and-sold thing on Earth. We have all the
resources we need for a smart and profitable food system and the
improved health, income, and jobs that come with it. Fiscal
Responsibility for the Future — Spending more than we bring in
will deplete our reserves and ruin our credit. We need policies
to control spending and remain solvent for the long term.
Juvenile Justice — We must make necessary expansions of our
award-winning Juvenile Justice Center while watching building
and operational costs closely. I’m running for Caddo Commission
in District 4, where I live and own a business, to have a seat
at the table and push for policies like these that promote the
public good.
- This week in Louisiana history. September 28, 1868. The
Opelousas Massacre occurred in Louisiana in which an estimated
200 to 300 black Americans were killed.
- This week in New Orleans history. On September 28, 1998,
Hurricane Georges, a Category 2 storm made landfall in
Mississippi. Some 500,000 residents in Louisiana evacuated
from low-lying areas. Mayor Marc Morial declared a state of
emergency to allow federal assistance into the state. After
nearly 1.5 million people were urged to evacuate coastal
areas, officials described the evacuation as likely the
largest ever achieved. The Superdome was opened as an
evacuation shelter.
