St. Martinville Residents,

The city is aware of the concerns about extensive street light outages around St. Martinville. We understand the residents' concerns and want to let everyone know that the city is awaiting the final word on receiving funding from a state grant to replace streetlights around the city.

We hope to hear about the grant approval within a few weeks.

We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter.

I have a serious question and would like an answer. All the people that live in St Martinville pay taxes on everything we own and everything we do why do we need grants from the state to maintain simple public services where is all the tax money being spent. Let's have the city start printing expenditures for every quarter in teche news let's have some transparency. Instead yall sit up there at town hall meetings arguing with each other like high-school girls. SMFH.

Really....question.. .why there is no funds for this.. .general maintenance....

Sad we don’t have funds for lights.

What happens if the grant is not approved?

So much corruption in southern Louisiana. Starts with local Mayors and go up from there.

So where do the taxes go? Didn't the mayor just convince people to pay more tax money? Ya want more money but can't take care of simple things?

Praying the funds get approved!! 🕊️🕊️🕊️

Just pay the bill... they'll turn em back on...

I mean the extra fees for online payments should be able to fund lights. 🤷‍♀️

Got $ for other crap we don't need but okayyyy

So LEDs are to expensive, seriously!

No street lights..... water sucks azzz....but hey, let's spend money on sewers. Remember that come election time.

Lol… you need a grant to buy some light bulbs??? Your mayor and city council can’t manage a budget well enough to buy light bulbs?? Who are the Einsteins running this place… you become who you vote in…
