Louisiana Dept of Health Test Results for Water- March 2024
Rep. Carver fights for Madisonville!
Rep. Carver explained at the Council meeting the process in which a funding request makes it to the House bill and in what priority. He told of how he never gave up in his efforts to get the 2 million dollar request for sewer repairs for the Town added to the bill and he was eventually successful!
Sen. Wheat Carries the Charge!
Sen Wheat told of the progression after a request is placed on a House bill. He reported that the Town’s request for Capital Outlay in the amount of 2 million had not only been added to the House bill, but had progressed from a wish list item to a cash line item that will pass unless line item vetoed by the Governor. This is amazing news for Madisonville and we thank both men profusely for fighting so diligently for us!!!
