UPDATE: gannett/the advertiser: more than 50 resign from lafayette boards and commissions
====
gannett/town talk snip from a related story:This mass exodus was due to Senate Bill 718, which went into effect today. The bill enacts stiffer financial disclosure laws that require members to release information about themselves as well as their spouses, such as occupation, interest/association with businesses. To avoid releasing the information, board and commission members needed to resign by Monday. ~ read more
we received the below email from a friend in lafayette:
Everyone is jumping ship!!
Here is a list as of 5:45 tonight of the local folks who have resigned from the boards here in Lafayette Parish due to the financial disclosure laws.
Check out who is No. 1 on the Parks and Recreation Board...He does not want to disclose his financial information? Hmmmmmmmmm, wonder why that is Mr. Lobbyist/Extortionist!!
P.S. I was given this information at the council meeting tonight by one of our grand leaders.
