yeah, that's about what one would expect from stevie p. let's not rock the boat or shake the foundation, forget about making noise about anything that might anger the powers of the university. he's got too much to lose. or so he thinks. everything is just hunkie-dorie, ad nauseum.

You are right, T...and this is how so many state projects go. And it is almost impossible, under state law, to restrict an underperforming contractor from future work.

As part of a local municipality, we tried a couple of times and could not.

The University is simply at their mercy.

I think that is the only course of action at this point. This contractor should be examined very closely and meet certain requirements before allowed to work on any other project on the UL campus. Having said that, there is nothing any sitting politician is going to do or can do despite the rhetoric of some on this board that think they can. This is a state contract and they are not going to fire the contractor and send it out to bid again. And demanding that Scott Farmer do something about it is an exercise in stupidty, there is nothing he can do when they state takes months to approve any changes in design or construction. All the foot stomping and picture taking in the world is not going to change that fact. IMO

There were a many of us that did a lot of work as volunteers a few years back with Gerald Hebert. (We dismantled the old baseball stadium and carted it off in about 6 hours). Gerald had "professional" volunteers doing all kinds of work. I know that I can mount seats. I know that he had guys that could lay bricks. I'd be willing to help finish the job as a volunteer if the contractor will refund some of the money back to the university.........

They have no incentive to do that.

_ Mr Frenchie, I take exception about your commits on the solfball park. This is a typical government project. It is slow. However, complaining about this and not giving one penny to RCAF is not solving the problem. I am calling you out on this, because it is the right thing to do.

Also, ask any of the girls, coachs and staff. Even thou the Lady Cajun Softball Park in not yet complete, it is still the nicest park they have played this year by a long shot!! _

This opinion and the sentiments that you express are exactly the ones that have helped to get this country in the predicament that it is in today.

"All you little people should be happy with what you get. After all, it could be worse. It's nicer than anything else around. Just bend over and shut up and take it."

You know what, BULL SH!&!!!!!!!!!

I don't give a rats _____ if it nicer than what others are playing in. It is my tax dollars going to fund this project and if I want to complain then YOU can shut up and take it.

I take pictures once in a while just to show them to the ones that can't visit. Like out of town or state. (I just ended that) I have never called Scott Farmer and complained. I express my opinion on whats being done or what's not being done. And yes I am one on many that raise some concern about the pace of this job or lack of. Like I said today, no one working yesterday and today. This job will not be finish this season. Why. Their next home game is on the 26 of March. It will not be finish. Then you have several home games. No work that amount to anything will be done. The roof can't be installed. The steel can't be put up. I was told it would take at least 2 full weeks of work for that. Why aren't they laying bricks now? They have a wall in front that needs to be completed........I know, state job, it will be great when finish.
