Political Rena Bradley Harassment October 2026

18 Upvotes

From Lafayette Citizens Against Censorship: "Here is a long(ish) clip from last night's Lafayette Public Library Board of Control meeting where board member Rena Bradley (rightfully) asks questions she believes the public has a right to hear.

While we appreciate Mr. Moore's apology, the gaslighting, condescension, and lack of respect shown here by the other board members is appalling. Watch her body language. They are literally ganging up on her.

This is a direct result of the Lafayette Parish Council members stacking this board with political ideologues. They don't want dialogue. They don't want discourse. They want control."

While there won’t be much discussion at this council meeting, an introduction to allow another bar to open downtown is likely to bring out another bout. Here is a selection of items on the agendas for this week’s meetings of the Lafayette City and Parish councils.

Pets Are there any good cat hotels or pet sitters in the area?

10 Upvotes

Hey Y'all,

I'm looking for help in finding a good place to take my cat to for a few days or have a pet sitter come in and look after my cat once a day while on vacation.

Ever since I've owned a cat, I really haven't been able to have a good travel vacation since I don't really feel comfortable leaving my cat alone. Even if it's just for a day lol, but I wanted to try to experiment with it, so that I can take a long 4-day vacation one day. Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with a pet sitter or a cat hotel.
My cat is a healthy 4-year-old who is my only cat.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Recommendations Mile Markers at parks for walking?

9 Upvotes

I know Youngsville sports complex has markers that indicate if you have done a quarter mile or half mile or full mile walk. Basically one lap around YSC is exactly a mile. Does Moncus or Girard or others have something like this?

Recommendations Electronics soldering supplies

13 Upvotes

This is a very random topic, I guess, but anyone know of a good place around the Lafayette area to purchase soldering supplies? Flux, solder braid/wick, leaded solder, etc? Big box stores don't sell much for electronics, and are more geared for plumbing solder jobs.

Recommendations Hi everyone!

​

I just moved to Lafayette and looking for a few recommendations.

  1. A good veterinarian clinic/hospital for my 4 year old toy poodle. She had an established vet but looking to get her set up here.

  2. A pet groomer. My puppy has had a groomer for 2 years, going every 6 to 8 weeks so she's handles it pretty well and is fully vaccinated.

  3. A human doctor that I accepts TriCare Prime.

  4. A good weight loss clinic.

Thank you all in advance for your help and recommendations. Btw....I love the lack of traffic compared to Houston. Keep it up 😁.

The weather is supposed to be nice this weekend, I’d like to go on a little nature walk. Maybe have a picnic. I love the Jungle Gardens at Avery Island, but I’d like to see something new. I don’t require much, just some trees and some quiet. Any state parks or nature trails I should check out?

I was driving home from work yesterday down university avenue and noticed like 4 black colored cameras with small solar panels connected to them. Are those flock cameras? They are set up from i-10 down to Cameron. I thought Lafayette was safe from espionage.

Recommendations What counts as professional misconduct for an NP? Bad experiences at Abbeville General

17 Upvotes

Anybody else have a bad experience with NP Julie at Abbeville General? The attitude from her is something else... She treated me with such contempt that I honestly felt like I was being treated like a prisoner of war. The hostility was completely unwarranted, and it took me a while to get over this and I've been though a lot worse in my life.

Is it even worth reporting such things to the board?
