Killian LA water department issues

I'm absolutely baffled that there does not seem to be ONE comment/explanation etc. from the actual Mayor [the person most responsible for the day to day operation of the water department for the last couple of DECADES]...it's always the Mayor pro-tem and or various Livingston Parish officials.....what gives ??

For those living out in the suburbs of Killian, can you fill us in on what has been going down?

You realize Kilian is a tiny village/town, right?

And what does that have to do with obvious mis-management/ineptitude in public office...leading to a probable bail-out paid for by Livingston Parish and state coffers ?

Dude that's so common in Louisiana it's ridiculous. You wouldn't believe some of the problems small towns have in the water department. If you want a job where you're always going to have work go get your operator's certifications and find a bunch of systems close by that you can go on their books since they have to have a certified operator and there's simply not enough of them. There's some of those in this state with a half dozen or more towns under them they're making money from.
And that doesn't even get into the one's where the state takes over. That whole process is so Louisiana it's ridiculous. Lets just say there's a well oiled machine that was started by a State Senator that started a construction company and an operating company where they're either winning bids for new projects or being handed the contracts to take over yet another water system that the state took over. And that's well known and apparently not illegal.

Yeah the legislature raising hell to prop up their own businesses isn’t new by any means.
Jindal pushed debit cards with tax refunds on them at one point, which was dumb, but one particular state senator lost his shite and demanded they switch back to checks.
The reason is that the state senator ran a check cashing business and replacing the checks with a debit card cut into his business.

Where you live you can hand drill a water well and not worry your water department ever again.
There are tons of YT videos on the topic.

Kilian has a Mayor? The more you know.

Yes, BUT he's NEVER heard from...apparently refuses with the press or answer ANY direct questions ! He's also the long term water dept. superintendent who refused to attend council meetings for YEARS
