Dislikes
ALLOW DUE PROCESS BEFORE, NOT AFTER. Expands "QUICK TAKE" provisions of Ruston to Lincoln Parish. In Lafayette "QUICK TAKE" was enacted for a single road project and was later expanded in a similar manner.
As the summary implies, it allows the parish to "take" property by establishing procedures. This is theft.
No public reasoning provided.
