Broussard Mayor responds to LCG, saying Broussard won't end lawsuit

Another impasse in the dispute between City-Parish President Joey Durel and Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais. And one step closer to, the Parish, cutting ties with the City of Broussard.
Last month, Durel announced he wanted to cut ties with Broussard over their "antagonistic behavior". This meant Lafayette would no longer provide animal control and fire services to the city. It also meant Lafayette would no longer allow Broussard to tap into Lafayette's water systems. In response Broussard Mayor Charles Langlinais questioned the legality of Durel's actions. However, last week, as a show of good faith Durel says he'd provide funding so Broussard could continue fighting fires in the unincorporated areas. Durel also said he'll continue to work with the City of Broussar, if they agreed to drop the lawsuits they filed against Lafayette Consolidated Government. The deadline, Durel says, is Friday for Broussard's Mayor to drop the suits. But Broussard's Mayor says he isn't budging.
