newtboyWhat in the Fuck is a "police jury" and why would they have any input on the decision at all?
BLM, take note. May the next storm topple any confederate monuments to treason in your area, even if the winds are only 20mph. If the power is out, there's no video proving the wind didn't take them down, right? (Hint hint)
BSRI'm sure the God fearing people in Louisiana will insist on not repairing it as long as God made it so.

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS A "POLICE JURY"?
The police jury is the governing authority for each parish that operates under the police jury system provided by the general laws of the state.
The police jury is both a legislative and administrative body. Its legislative and administrative functions include enacting ordinances and resolutions, establishing programs and setting policy. As an administrative body, it prepares the budget, hires personnel, spends money, negotiates contracts and, in general, directs the activities under its supervision.
Police juries carry out their administrative responsibilities in various ways. Some parishes, for example, have made their secretaries responsible for over-all administration. In others, this responsibility has been delegated to the police jury president, who is selected from among the jurors. Some parishes have hired a parish manager as permited by LRS 33:1236.1. The law sets no qualifications for the position other than being a registered voter of the parish. Act 85 of 2006 repealed the provision that allowed a police juror to serve as the parish manager, but did allow for a police juror already serving as a parish manager to continue doing so. In still other parishes, there is no principlal administrative official, and all parish employees report directly to the entire jury or to committees.

newtboySo it's basically what they call county government where there are parishes instead of counties?
Why would they call it a police jury if it's not a jury of police officers? Just to confuse?
Weird.
Thanks
