The complaint [filed by Citizens for a New Louisiana] underscores what the chief reportedly did and/or has failed to do.

Michael Lunsford runs Citizens for a New Louisiana, a government watchdog nonprofit, ... who has called out Jones and other library leaders.

Citizens for a New Louisiana has been systematically placing conservatives on volunteer commissions such as the Lafayette Parish Library Board of Control and Bayou Vermilion District, where they now have majority control.

Lunsford spent years raising the heat leading a stealthy but steady campaign that replaced members of the library board who, from his perspective, were not quite on board.

Citizens for a New Louisiana now has full support from the Louisiana state government.
