Letter to the Editor from from Vermilion Parish School Board member Anthony Fontana
Dear Editor:
I wish to inform the voters of Vermilion Parish and in particular those who reside in School Board District E that I will not seek re-election to the School Board.
I want to sincerely thank all the voters of District E for allowing me the privilege of serving you and all the people in Vermilion Parish as your School Board Representative for over a quarter of a century.
I pray that giving this notice early will give those who might want to represent District E enough time to put together an organization for the 2018 election.
A plan may be finally coming together
Believe it or not, there is finally some good news to report on the state budget front: Governor Edwards is signaling that he plans to propose a detailed, specific plan to address the upcoming fiscal cliff. This change in approach from our elected leader is welcomed, timely and much needed.
Up until now, the people of Louisiana were receiving very different signals.
