Final adjustments in the St. Martin School Board’s budgets for the fiscal year ending June 30 show that the general fund and sales tax accounts are expecting healthy surpluses.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a regular public meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for the City of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, has been ordered and called on Tuesday, June 10, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, for the following purposes:

The last change in the Eunice mayor’s pay was a 3 percent increase in 1996.

City Council members seem to think another raise is needed, but aren’t sure if now the’s right time.

Mayor Bob Morris included a $12,000 raise for himself in the budget for the year beginning July 1.

The proposed city budget for the year beginning July 1 reverses a three-year run of operating in the black and in effect predicts a $1 million swing in the city’s financial condition.

Mayor Bob Morris predicts essentially flat revenues from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009, while anticipating about a four percent increase in expenses.

The Tri Parish Fair Rodeo Club has been in existence since 1992 with Ricky and Donna Thibodeaux playing an instrumental part in getting it started.

The nerve of this guy

Editor, The Eunice News:

I cannot believe the nerve of this mayor.

Since when does an employee decide if they get a raise, and how much of a raise?

PECAN ISLAND - For Bristol Lege the day begins by logging on to the internet to see what is happening in the world, listening to his favorite tunes and communicating with friends and family via e-mail.

Memorial Day was barely over when a scrapbook was brought to the Eunice Depot Museum that deals with the local scrap drives that were held at the onset of World War ll.

The scrapbook was found at Eunice High and instead of throwing it out, a thoughtful soul brought it to the depot.
