You’re going to love this! “Comedy Hour” Kenneth Boudreaux does it again! He’s accused me of lying about the Lafayette City Council. The only problem? I’m spot on, as usual. This is from a few months ago, but it’s taken a while for me to do some additional homework. Watch as I walk you through our article he was so upset about and how everything we originally wrote is perfectly correct.
Learn more about the Left’s relentless effort to indoctrinate the next generation from Dr. James Lindsay at our November 21 event.
When we first published the article Pride Purveyors Pranked, I used self-authenticating public records. Even so, Boudreaux rails against me for “false accusations” of acts that were not done. However, the public record shows clearly that, yes, members of the City Council did attempt to trick the community. Even though there was no proclamation, a quorum of the Lafayette City Council participated in this elaborate deception. If this were just my opinion or my interpretation of public records, it’d be one thing. But the delay has allowed time for backup to arrive.
By the way, the meeting mentioned in the article (with Kenneth Boudreaux speaking) was on July 16th, 2024. The relevant section will be about an hour and thirteen minutes in.

Behind Every Blade of Grass
There’s a running joke around our office that Citizens for a New Louisiana is hiding behind every blade of grass. We’ve heard stories about government officials reconsidering questionable decisions because they were worried we’d find out. That’s a remarkable return on an investment we never made: "reaping where we did not sow, and gathering where we scattered no seed." But there’s something important in here, too.
Our little flashlight has earned us a reputation for bringing things to light. Now many officials act as if someone is watching, even when there isn't. That’s the real value of our government transparency work. It's more than just exposing wrongdoing after the fact. We've created an environment where public officials think twice.
Of course, we can’t actually be behind every blade of grass. There are thousands of public meetings, countless government transactions, and more questionable decisions than our small team could ever hope to investigate. But with your help, we can keep them wondering.
If you believe government works better when someone is paying attention, please consider supporting our work.
