Menard will propose reallocation of solid waste tax

Prosperity is a matter of perspective.

The St. Landry Parish Solid Waste Disposal Commission on May 31 had $1.8 million in the bank, compared to $1.5 million the same date last year.

Parish President Don Menard says that indicates the Commission has more than enough revenue every year and he wants some of it to help with his parish-wide road improvement program.

Commissioners, include Gardie McManus of Eunice, say he’s wrong.
