Ruston you reap what you sew. After going on seven years of "cabal" rule things are moving to a mutually induced dissolution. Seven years of not allowing citizen comments on Business items has gotten us to this:
After filing a claim for more than $9 million, Fabre has a separate damages suit pending against the town.
Attorney Joan Mell has brought seven to eight (I lost count) lawsuits against Ruston and won everyone!
Remember this started seven years ago with a voter revolt against The Commencement condominiums despite a land sale over four million dollars that has kept the town afloat and paid for huge infrastructre improvements.
But it may all be coming to an end because of a small group of strong willed individuals following a plan to turn Ruston into a bedroom community and hiring their own Special Legal Counsel to advise them.
The members of the council change but their actions to get rid of all businesses are always 5-0.
I wrote the con argument against Ruston Resolution 477 and Referendum number one and very nearly won the day. Now it looks like more millions of dollars going down the drain that could of been used to complete the ongoing infrastructure improvements.
PRO and CON arguments on referendum number one are in prior blog.
Also the main figures in this effort on Ruston's part all refused to return phone calls from The News Tribune.
Will try to get copy of nine million dollar claim against Ruston. Illegal gambling tax invalidated by judge has never been rescinded. Also more information on lawsuit.
Much more to followas RUSTON INSIDER springs back to life.
