Thrilled for this new leadership to focus on Lafayette’s pressing issues—drainage, infrastructure, development—without being distracted by personal and professional legal entanglements. On another note, Guillory’s pandering to alleged local power mobs—while ignoring the plight of long-term residents—obviously wasn’t enough to overcome his incompetence.
