Bossier City Council Meeting September 5, 2023
B
Let
us
pray
dear
heavenly
father.
We
thank
you
for
this
day,
Lord
we
come
to
you
today,
Lord
first
I'd
like
to
pray
for
the
family
and
the
friends
of
Jackie
Loveless
Lord.
We
lost
a
a
great
citizen
of
Bossier
City
over
the
weekend
Lord
and
we
just
pray
for
comfort
for
his
family,
his
family,
at
the
Bush
Parish,
Sheriff's,
Office
and
all
of
his
friends
in
Bossier
City,
as
we've
mourned.

for

so
move

Williams

councilman
Smith
questions
from
the
audience.
I
I
I
I'm
sure
you've
all
got
calendars
to
30
days
to
put
the
measure
and
pass
and
have
it
without
veto
has
come
and
gone,
and
here
we
are
with
nothing
but
stonewalling
and
silence
your
inaction
itself.
Is
an
action
allowed
resounding
no
to
the
will
of
the
people.
Your
job
isn't
to
debate
the
merits
of
the
law
when
the
law
is
unequivocal,
your
job
is
to
enact
the
will
of
the
people
as
clearly
indicated
in
over
2977
certified
signatures
demanding
term
limits.
I
Your
failure
to
do
so
makes
a
mockery,
not
just
of
your
roles
as
public
servants,
but
as
the
Democratic
process
itself.
This
isn't
a
question
of
policy
or
even
of
termless
the
question
that
this
is
a
question
of
Integrity,
of
whether
the
council
respects
the
rule
of
law
and
the
constituents
you
claim
to
represent
to
remove.
The
mayor's
resolution
from
the
agenda
is
to
trample
on
the
faith
of
the
citizens
of
Bossier
City
and
the
Democratic
fabric
that
binds
all
Americans.
I
The
clock
is
ticking
council
members,
you've
exhausted
30
days,
doing
nothing
with
every
tick
you're,
not
merely
wasting
time,
but
you're
continuing
to
erode
public
trust
and
degree
trade.
The
Democratic
foundations
of
this
city
keep
the
mayor's
term
limits
resolution
on
the
agenda
and,
for
heaven's
sakes,
do
your
job
vote
on
it.
Mr
President
I
end
with
this.
If
you
don't
have
the
courage
to
stand
up
and
do
what's
right,
maybe
it's
time
to
make
room
for
those
who
do
the
choice?
I
I
J
City
that
I've
become
familiar
with,
especially
over
term
limits,
sent
me
some
comments
because
he
couldn't
attend.
He
quotes
from
section
501
of
the
city
Charter,
where
the
petition
contains
a
request
that
the
ordinance
be
submitted
to
a
vote
of
the
people.
The
city
council
shall
forth
with
after
the
red
star,
voters
has
attached
his
or
her
certificate
to
the
petition.
The
city
shall
call
an
election
to
be
held
within
90
days.
Thereafter,
that's
from
the
document
that
counselors
you
swore
to
uphold.
J
K
J
J
K
J
J
J
This
is
absolutely
in
support
of
the
mayor's
resolution
that.
J
Their
just
powers
from
the
consent
of
the
government
that,
whenever
any
form
of
government
becomes
destructive
to
these
ends,
it
is
the
right
of
the
people
to
alter
or
abolish
it
and
to
Institute
new
government
laying
its
foundation
on
such
principles
and
organizing
its
powers
such
form
as
to
them,
shall
be
most
likely
to
affect
their
safety
and
happiness
mayor.
Thank
you
very
much
for
keeping
this
on
the
agenda.
We
might
need
to
keep
this
going
all
the
way
through
the
date
that
this
was
supposed
to
be
on
the
election.
E
Going
to
have
a
chance
for
comment
about
the
council
sure
go
ahead,
I'm
just
checking.
Why
are
we
removing
this?
E
N
Again
and
and
I
think,
we've
been
through
this
at
multiple
Council
meetings.
We
have
a
petition
that
was
presented
to
the
council
that
was
certified
by
the
register
of
Voters.
The
issue
is:
was
the
petition
properly
certified?
It
is
my
opinion.
It
was
Miss
Bell's
opinion,
the
outside
counsel,
that
the
petition
was
improperly
certified
due
to
the
lack
of
information
that
was
in
the
petition
that
is
required
pursuant
to
18
colon
3,
which
is
the
Louisiana
election
code,
which
is
the
date
of
birth
of
each
signer
or
signatory.
N
It
doesn't
say
it's.
There
are
seven
things
for
a
registrar
voter
that
must
be
contained
in
the
petition
to
be
properly
certified
if
in
fact,
you're
lacking
in
one
of
those
and
all
the
Attorney
General's
opinions
that
have
come
before
this
bear
that
out,
plus
the
case
law.
That's
out
there.
If
you're
lacking
one
of
those
pieces
of
information,
then
the
petition
is
improperly
certified
and
the
process
itself
it's
step.
Number
one
has
not
been
followed
correctly.
N
I
understand
that
there's
a
difference
of
opinion
as
to
what's
required
and
what's
not
required,
but
it
it
says,
what's
required,
it
doesn't
say
that
the
year
of
birth
or
the
date
of
birth
must
be
easily
ascertainable
or
must
be
able
to
be
determined.
It
says
it
has
to
be
included
and
therefore,
in
my
opinion,
Miss
Bell's
opinion,
and
we
did
ask
the
Attorney
General
to
weigh
in
on
the
issue.
Unfortunately
due
to
a
conflict,
he
has
refused
to
do
so.
N
So
until
this
issue
is
resolved
and
there's
a
difference
of
opinion,
then
it
could
come
up
at
any
time.
It
could
come
up
a
week
from
now
it
could
come
up
a
year
from
now.
It
could
come
up
two
years
from
now.
If
this
term
limit
Amendment
to
the
Charter
ordinance,
whatever
it
is,
is
passed
by
the
people,
it
could
come
up
10
years
from
now
and
and
so
it
if
the
process
was
presented,
was
started
improperly
and
presented
to
the
city
improperly,
then
that
landmine
never
goes
away
until
there's
a
definitive
determination.
N
Now,
as
I
understand
it,
it
and
we've
talked
about
retroactivity
and
what
this
would
take
into
effect.
It's
purported
to
take
effect,
I
think
approximately
two
years
from
now,
maybe
a
little
less
when
everybody's
up
for
re-election.
So
why
don't
we
find
out
now
all
right,
the
term
limits
Coalition
or
we
haven't
had
anybody.
Who's
come
to
the
city
with
a
writ
of
mandamus
asking
the
court
to
make
a
determination.
N
Therefore,
if
the
city
asked
the
court
to
make
a
determination,
if
I'm
wrong,
then
I'm
wrong,
it
can
be
placed
on
the
ballot
well
before
the
expiration
of
the
current
terms
and
it,
and
if
it's
passed
by
the
people,
then
it
could
go
into
effect,
essentially
you're
losing
nothing.
Now
that,
if
you
may,
if
you
have
this
determination
before
the
expiration
of
the
current
terms
of
the
mayor
and
the
city
council,
then
once
that
determination
is
made,
then
you
either
place
it
on
the
ballot.
N
N
There
there
are
two
things
that
are
on
the
agenda
as
I
understand
them.
One
is
to
request
the
register
of
Voters
to
decertify
the
petition
due
to
what
both
legal
counsel,
myself
and
Miss
Bell
deem
as
improper,
if
she
so
refuses
to
do
that,
then
I'm
asking
for
consent
from
the
city
council
to
file
an
action
for
a
declaratory
judgment.
Put
it
in
front
of
a
judge.
Let
the
judge,
look
at
it
and
say
thumbs
up
thumbs
down.
N
C
Yes,
thank
you,
president.
Basically,
why
I'm
putting
this
up
there
is
just
the
citizens
have
a
voice
to.
Let
them
hear
what
you
know
what
they
believe
in.
Not
one
time
have
I
seen
someone
come
up
to
the
podium
and
say:
hey
y'all
need
to
work
there,
all
your
life
and
we
don't
need
no
term
limits.
Everybody's
been
saying
they
won't.
They
want
term
limits,
I
just
say:
let
the
let
the
let
the
people
they've
voted
Us
in
here.
Let
them
speak.
Okay.
It's
awesome.
A
H
Thank
you,
John
settle
1915,
Citizens,
Bank
Drive.
The
only
question
that
I
have
is
if
there
would
be
a
time
limit
if
you're
going
to
adopt
number
five,
if
there
would
be
a
time
limit
for
the
clerk
to
the
red
straw
to
respond
and
then
also
would
there
be
a
time
period
in
number
six.
H
In
other
words,
would
you
give
X
days
to
the
red
straw
and
then,
if
nothing
happens,
or
it
doesn't
happen,
the
way
Mr
Jacobs
believes
appropriate,
then
that
he
would
have
a
certain
amount
of
time
to
file
I
think
if
not
these
things
could
kind
of
drag
on
without
any
Sunset.
So
that's
my
only
thought
or
request
or
suggestion.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
L
A
B
Quick
Mr,
President
Madam
clerk
I
see
the
news.
Media
is
looking
at
the
vote
on.
F
B
A
Mr
Montgomery
first
second,
by
councilman
Williams.
Thank
you.
J
I
guess
I
need
a
clarification:
Dave
Crockett,
653,
dumaine,
Drive,
Bossier,
City
Louisiana,
you
say
I'm
wanting
to
make
sure
I,
don't
step
over
any
bounds
on
whether
I
can
comment
on
the
comments
that
were
just
made,
because
because
my
comment
to
that
would
be
that
by
doing
this
and
taking
us
off
the
agenda,
the
people
are
losing.
J
We
say,
no
one
is
losing
the
people
are
losing
so
taking
this
off
of
the
agenda,
which
I
think
is
the
subject
so,
but
not
any
one
of
those
cases
that
you've
looked
at
use,
votes
or
IDs,
so
the
people
are
losing
when
we
went
out
and
we
stayed
at
the
door
with
these
people
and
got
their
voter
ID
and
that
included
all
this
information.
These
are
your
elected
officials.
These
are
the
Mayors
people
that
are
not
elected
officials,
electors.
J
K
J
A
F
F
G
So,
as
you
see
there,
that
is
the
last
change
order
and
declaring
the
project
complete.
There
are
several
items
on
there:
an
elevator
cellular
di
extra
AV
items,
audio
visual
equipment,
Furniture
hookups
card
readers
and
a
few
other
items
specifically
to
what
Louisiana,
Tech
and
others
needed
for
the
facility
of
all
of
the
the
funds
approximately
15
000
of
that
will
be
Bossier
City
funds.
The
remainder
will
be
paid
by
Louisiana
Tech.
G
G
N
Thank
you,
Mr
President.
If
I
may,
yes,
sir
I
believe
the
Bossier
City
portion
of
that
as
the
of
the
the
vast
majority
of
the
funds
will
be
reimbursed
to
Bossier
City
by
the
state
of
Louisiana.
Thank
you.

L
A
I
West
Marriott
Subway
live
4308
Parkway
Drive
good
afternoon
again
today,
I'd
like
to
discuss
an
utterly
ridiculous
proposition,
but
strangely
not
the
most
ridiculous
item
on
Bossier
City's
agenda.
Today,
the
proposed
resolution
asking
for
the
registrar
voters
to
decertify
the
petition
from
the
Bossier
terminals
Coalition.
First,
it's
important
to
understand:
there's
no
legal
statutory
Authority
that
allows
the
registrar
voter
to
decertify
a
petition.
The
Louisiana
revised
Statute
simply
do
not
provide
for
such
an
action
asking
for
decertification
under
the
guise
of
revised
Statute
18-3
misconstrues
the
law
and
sets
a
dangerous
precedent.
I
This
very
recommendation
by
our
City
attorney
should
call
into
question
his
ability
to
navigate
the
basic
tenants
of
Louisiana
law.
Secondly,
legal
experts
consulted
by
Sobo
live
from
across
the
state
have
clarified
that
Louisiana
revised
Statute
183
does
not
apply
universally
to
every
petition
where
cities
have
their
own
Charters
outlining
the
specifics
for
their
petitions.
Those
Provisions
take
precedence.
The
Bossier
City
Charter
has
explicit
requirements
for
how
petitions
must
be
addressed.
Therefore,
any
attempt
to
use
revised
Statute
1803
is
a
blanket
justification
for
decertification
is
flawed.
I
It's
a
ridiculous
proposition
to
ignore
our
city,
Charter's
requirement
that
are
actually
in
black
and
white
for
a
proposed
course
of
action
that
doesn't
exist
in
any
legal
or
statutory
framework.
Thirdly,
it's
worth
mentioning
again
and
again
and
again
that,
though
the
petition
did
not
contain
the
birth
year
of
the
signatory,
it
did
include
voter
IDs.
These
are
unique,
personally
identifiable
identifiable
numbers
linked
to
each
voter
ID's
file.
This
file
contains
all
the
necessary
information,
including
name
address
Precinct
date
of
birth
and
their
signature.
I
Our
registrar,
voter,
Stephanie
Agee
and
her
staff
personally
verified
each
of
the
2977
signatures
on
the
petition.
The
petition
met
and
exceeded
verification
standards,
ensuring
that
each
signature
was
legitimate
and
valid
to
propose
decertifying,
a
petition
that
aligns
with
the
city
Charter's
guidelines
and
has
been
verified
by
the
registrar
as
a
slap
in
the
face
to
every
voter
in
Bossier
City
and
continues
the
pattern
of
Reckless
disregard
for
the
law
by
this
Council.
There
is
no
possible
future
where
the
registrar,
voter,
registrar,
voters
decertifies
a
certified
petition,
regardless
of
what
you've
been
told.
I
H
John
settled
1915,
Citizens,
Bank
drive
again
I
would
suggest
or
request
that
there
might
be
a
deadline
for
this
to
response.
That's
requested
that
way.
I
think
it
would
be
clear,
then
what
actions
should
be
taken
by
the
City
attorney,
but
I
just
think
that
would
probably
be
appropriate
if,
for
your
consideration,
thank
you.
L
L
N
Your
I
anticipate
that
if
the
council
approves
the
resolution
that
I'll
have
a
letter
out,
probably
by
I,
would
say
noon
tomorrow.
I
was
anticipating.
You
know
giving
you
know
a
work
week,
five
business
days
to
respond.
If
there
wasn't
a
response,
then,
depending
on
what
happens
with
the
second
resolution,
moving
forward
in
that
way,.
J
David
Crockett
653
excuse
me:
653
Domain,
Drive,
Bossier,
City
Louisiana,
again,
I
have
a
ghost
guest
Jeff
sat
out.
He
says
I
hope
it's
clear
to
all
counselors
that
a
vote
for
this
item
absolutely
drips
of
irony
and
hypocrisy,
great
minds,
think
alike.
That's
you
and
Jeff,
not
me
over
the
past
month
or
more
we've
heard
the
pious
speeches
about
how
about
how
we
have
had
to
be
sure
if
the
petition
and
the
process
to
bring
about
the
referendum
on
its
contents
has
followed
the
law
exactly
as
written.
J
C
J
Nowhere
in
the
charter,
nowhere
in
statute
and
nowhere
in
the
constitution
is
there
any
mention
that
the
Registrar
of
Voters
can
decertify
the
petition
already
certified
much
less
outline
a
process
to
do
that,
as
this
resolution
demands
from
the
Bossier
Parish
registrar.
So
it's
entirely
invented
out
of
thin
air.
Worse,
it's
undisputably
extra
legal
made
up
to
accomplish
an
agenda.
J
J
You
vote
for
this
request
of
the
registrar
to
do
something
that
she
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
do
so,
you're
against
term
limits,
and
you
are
desperate
to
stop
their
Amendment
from
getting
into
the
charter
vote
for
this,
and
we
are
little
more
than
a
boy
who
sees
that
he
has
no
clothes
on
which
isn't
flattering.
It's
not
a
thing
to
have
to
witness
for
more
than
one
reason:
that's
from
Jeff
satell
I
want
to
praise
the
Bossier
Paris
registrar.
J
There
there's
a
lot
of
insinuation
that
they
did
not
do
their
job.
She
told
me
repeatedly
that
she
could
not
give
me
legal
advice
when
I
requested
a
copy
of
a
past
petition,
just
as
if
I
would
had
done
a
information
request
or
anything
else.
She
gave
me
a
copy
of
a
past
petition.
That's
what
I
followed
it
had
voter
ID
on
it,
because
nothing
in
your
Charter
references,
18,
3.,
nothing
that
the
state
gave
me
in
that
pamphlet
that
I
followed
meticulously
as
much
as
it's
vague
that
I
could
to
write
a
petition.
J
Nothing
was
clear
about
that.
So
basically
you're
trying
to
put
everything
on
the
people
when
your
Charter
does
not
specify
details,
so
maybe
your
Charter's
flawed.
Maybe
the
people
didn't
mess
up,
because
our
petition
included
voter
ID.
The
registrar
was
able
to
absolutely
identify
your
electors.
Thank
you
for
covering
that
West
I,
rather
doubt
that
you'll
be
successful
in
this
effort
to
decertify
the
petition.
We
contend
that
our
petition
is
valid
and
you're
violating
the
city
Charter
as
Jeff
satta
States.
Thank
you.
K
N
Darby,
thankfully,
submit
that
there
is
a
process
for
decertification
and
again,
if
I'm
wrong
or
if
the
clerk
excuse
me,
the
registrar
refuses
to
decertify
the
petition.
Then,
if
the
council
sees
fit
to
pass
the
the
second
resolution,
then
we'll
have
a
judge
determine
this:
the
city,
the
people
that
are
in
favor
of
term
limits,
the
people
that
are
against
term
limits,
are
losing
nothing
if
the.
If
the,
if
the
the
language
purports.
N
You
know,
if
passed
by
the
the
electorate
of
Bossier
City,
to
go
into
effect
at
the
end
of
this
term,
then
we'll
have
an
answer
from
the
26
jdc.
We
would
have
an
answer
from
the
second
circuit
well
before
then,
and
there
is
no
process.
Our
Charter
is
silent
on
what
constitutes
a
certified
petition.
It
says
a
petition
certified
by
the
register
of
Voters.
If
our
Charter
does
not
impose
different
requirements,
then
you
fall
back
on
the
state
statutes
and
there's
in
this
type
of
petition.
This
is
not
a.
N
This
is
not
a
petition
that
affects
the
sale
of
alcoholic
beverages.
In
this
type
of
petition,
it
has
to
follow
the
tenets
of
the
revised
Statute
18
colon
3,
which
requires
certain
information
to
be
contained
in
the
petition.
It
says
shall
be
contained,
it
doesn't
say
to
be
determined,
it
doesn't
say,
readily
ascertainable
and
so
again,
if
this
process
doesn't
take
place,
if
we
don't
make
a
determination,
a
definitive
determination
of
whether
this
petition
is
proper,
then
it
floats
around
out
there
until
somebody
decides
to
challenge
it.
N
Then
the
electorate
would
have
seven
days
to
challenge
your
qualifications
and
then
guess
what
we
would
have
we
would
have
here.
We
go
at
some
point
in
time
that
determinant
would
have
to
be
made.
Can
Mr
Darby
run?
Can
he
not
run?
Is
this
term
Linda's?
You
know
petition?
Was
it
started
violently?
And
so,
if
we
determine
this
now,
then
we
avoid
all
that
mass
confusion.
Mass
chaos,
when
your
current
term
is
up
when
Mr
Freeze
current
term
is
up
when
Mr
Montgomery's
term
is
up
when
Mr
Williams
term
is
up.
N
If
Chris
Mr,
Chris
Smith
decided
10
years
from
now,
okay,
he
is,
he
gets
elected
to
three
terms
in
this
passage.
What
if
he
decides
10
years
from
now?
If
the
issue
is
not
decided,
it
could
come
up
then
so
again,
I,
don't
think
the
city
is
losing
anything.
N
If
miss
agey,
the
register
of
Voters
refuses
to
decertify
the
petition.
Then
we
simply
file
an
action
for
declaratory
judgment.
We
allowed
a
court
to
make
the
determination
if
the
court
says
Jacobs
is
wrong.
If
Miss
Katie
Bell
is
wrong,
then
it
gets
put
on
the
ballot
and
it
gets
presented
to
the
people
well
before
the
expiration
of
this
current
term.
In
all
this
Mass
confusion
at
the
end
of
these
current
terms,
it
is
avoided.
K
N
B
Mr
President
for
first
for
the
record,
I'm,
never
going
to
sue
the
city
to
run
for
a
fourth
term.
But
do
you
know
Mr
Jacobs?
Has
there
ever
been
a?
Has
there
ever
been
a
time
where
a
registrar
has
had
to
decertify
a
petition
because
it
was
deemed.
N
Faulty
there
is
coach
law
where
a
Road
store
has
been
forced
to
decertify.
The
petition
due
to
I
guess
form
requirements,
lack
of
information.
Yes,
sir
okay.
A
I
Again,
West
Marriott
Sobo
live
4308,
Parkway,
Drive,
again
I'm
not
going
to
mince
words,
but
I'll
be
as
blunt
as
Council
rules.
Allow
now
we're
talking
about
adopting
a
resolution
that
gives
the
City
attorney
to
the
authority
to
take
legal
action,
determine
the
validity
of
the
petition
from
the
Bossier
tournaments
coalition.
Maybe
I
missed
something,
but
I
didn't
think
it
was
in
our
city,
attorney's
job
description
determine
if
petition
was
certified.
That's
the
job
of
our
registrar,
voter,
Center,
Signature,
affixed
to
the
petition
and
her
cover
letter
and
the
certification
stated
it's
certified.
I
So
let's
stick
within
the
bounds
of
existing
case
law.
So
what
exactly
have
we
been
doing
since
the
petition
was
delivered
on
July
10th,
it's
now
September
5th
and
we've
seen
zero
action
in
the
form
of
an
ordinance,
a
ballot
question
or
any
semblance
of
progress.
But
what
we
have
seen
is
wasted
time
and
taxpayer
money
weeks
were
squandered
waiting
for
an
outside
opinion
from
an
unbiased
attorney
who,
just
so
happens,
to
have
represented
Mr
Montgomery
10
years
ago
and.
M
I
K
I
A
A
A
I
I
As
if
that
wasn't
enough,
we
also
killed
a
lot
of
time
awaiting
a
legal
opinion
from
the
attorney
general,
which
was
flat
out
denied.
So
I
ask
you
Mr
President.
What
on
Earth
are
we
doing?
Let's
be
clear:
Mr
Jacobs,
Mr,
Jacob's
job
is
not
to
twist
the
law
into
a
pretzel
just
to
keep
our
long-serving
incumbents
in
their
comfortable
chairs.
No,
his
job
is
to
ensure
that
it's
City
and
elected
officials
and
employees
abide
by
the
law.
That's
it.
I
The
council
was
considering
giving
Mr
Jacobs
the
authority
to
further
delay
what
the
citizens
clearly
desire.
This
is
nothing
short
of
mocking
the
Democratic
process.
We
did
not
elect
any
of
you
or
appoint
the
City
attorney
to
be
a
gatekeeper
to
The
Ballot
Box,
but
that's
precisely
what
you
guys
are
seem
keen
on
becoming
in
title
14,
section
132,
Louisiana
law
prohibits
the
intentional
alteration,
falsification
or
concealment
of
any
record
or
document
filed
or
deposited
under
authority
of
law
in
any
public
office
or
with
any
public
officer.
I
A
N
And
I
would
say
this
if
there's
any
type
of
accusation
about
the
mayor
or
any
other
councilman
sitting
up
here.
The
allegation
that
Miss
Bell
has
represented
Mr
Montgomery
in
the
past
in
his
personal
capacity,
is
absolutely
false.
Miss
Bell
was
engaged
by
the
municipal,
Planning
Commission
in
the
Coleman
litigation
and
she
and
she
has
never
under
any
circumstances
and
in
fact
she
ran
a
conflict
check.
N
I
submitted
the
names
of
the
mayor
and
all
councilman
to
Keane,
Miller
and
I
said.
Please
run
a
conflicts
check
in
order
to
make
sure
that
neither
key
Miller
nor
yourself
has
represented
any
councilman
or
the
mayor.
Anybody
who
would
be
affected
by
this-
and
that
is
just
what
Mr
Marriott
is
saying-
is
outright
false.
J
David
Crockett
653,
Domain,
Drive,
Bossier,
City
Louisiana
term
limits
in
the
November
election
is
the
loss,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
and
of
course
I'm
now
per.
J
We're
back
to
where
we
were
in
the
previous
two
items,
a
vote
for
this
calls
for
spending
tax
to
repair
dollars
to
see
if
you
can
use
the
legal
system
to
poke
holes
in
a
petition
legally
certified,
but
note
it's
entirely
premature
in
the
city
without
standing,
even
to
bring
such
a
case,
any
presumed
harm
would
occur
only
if
the
electorate
ratifies
term
limits
into
the
charter
from
an
allegedly
defective
process.
J
You
may
be
able
to
correct
that
if
he
thinks
otherwise,
what
this
asks
for
is
the
advisory
opinion
on
a
hypothetical
situation
which
Louisiana
courts
cannot
give
it's
nothing
more
than
a
waste
of
taxpayer
resources,
but
only
a
waste
of
the
people's
money.
It
wouldn't
be
a
waste
of
your
counselors
interested
that
for
counselors
interested
in
fulfilling
their
own
private
agendas
that
require
the
pursuit
of
power
by
the
ability
to
stay
in
office
and
and
the
expense
of
the
people's
agenda
by
grasping
at
whatever
straw.
They
can
stop
the
term
limits
from
enactment.
J
J
If,
as
a
result
of
actual
controversy
emerges
down
the
road,
then
the
city
can
respond
through
the
challenge
in
the
course
or
if
the
council
thinks
that
the
petitioning
is
so
defective,
then
it
can
use
the
charter
review
commission
it
recently
adopted
as
a
vehicle
to
fix
matters
after
that
now
Mr
President,
my
own
comments,
Bossier
term
limits
Coalition
is
our
position
is
that
we
use
voter
ID,
and
that
includes
year
of
birth.
You
have
a
legal
problem
because
you're
not
enforcing
the
charter.
J
Secondly,
threats
of
lawsuits
are
not
coming
from
the
Bossier
term
limits
Coalition,
so
they
must
be
coming
from
the
political
aristocracy
in
your
Council.
So
the
real
question
is:
who
is
the
City
attorney
representing?
It's,
not
the
people.
The
harm
is
to
the
electorate,
not
the
councilman
Bossier
term
limits.
Coalition
is
not
suing
Bossier,
City
Bossier
term
limits.
Coalition
is
not
suing
Bossier
City
for
us
to
do
so
will
cost
the
Paris
twice.
We
have
never
and
would
never
pursue
that.
J
Secondly,
sue
the
city
would
likely
delay
term
limits
vote
until
after
the
filing
for
the
2025
elections.
That's
not
our
objective.
Why
would
we
do
that
Bossier
term
limits?
Coalition
is
announcing
that
we're
not
withdrawing
the
petition.
Our
petition
is
legal,
nor
would
we
have
a
right
to
do
so,
since
the
petition
is
the
electorate's
petition,
not
ours
and.
J
Those
are
term
limits.
Coalition
is
also
announcing
that
we're
going
to
accomplish
two
additional
petitions
likely
starting
this
weekend,
one
of
which
will
be
term
limits,
petition
we'll
be
announcing
in
a
press
conference
in
the
near
future.
What
both
petitions
are
we'll
be
explaining
it
to
the
public,
but
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
appreciate
your
patience.
