Local religious leaders penned a letter to the Lafayette City Council asking for an official declaration of Pride Month in Lafayette. They vote this Tuesday.
Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory is scheduled to issue a proclamation declaring June 14 the 246th Birthday of the U.S. Army in Lafayette Parish during a cake cutting ceremony at the Lafayette Army Recruiting Station.
You may have noticed new signs around Lafayette that warn against giving money to panhandlers.
It s an issue that is in no way exclusive to Lafayette and every city handles it in its own unique way. This most recent approach from LCG is rooted in safety first, according to Chief Communications Officer Jamie Angelle.
First of all, we don’t want distracted drivers and also there are so many better ways to help people who are really in need.
Angelle, speaking on behalf of the Mayor-President s office, told KLFY that the signs weren t installed with the intent of anti-homeless messaging, but as a way to discourage motorists from giving cash or loose change to those panhandling on busy street corners. The signs also offer a number (211) for those needing help.
