The Times-Picayune in New Oreans has picked up an AP story on Lafayette’s win in the fiber-optic battle.
Pull Quote:
The court also threw out a large portion of Naquin’s arguments, saying her suit had been filed past the 60-day hard and fast deadline to challenge bond issuances passed through an election.
That’s the first reaction beyond our media market. I expect many more….this is news far beyond our borders.
Can they ask for a rehearing?
Anon,
There’s legal and there’s practical.
Legally: Yes
Practically: No
No lawyer who values his standing before the state’s highest court is going to waste their time or try their patience by suggesting that the court reconsider a unanimous decision that you lost on every point — both substantial and procedural.
I’ve learned caution but I can’t believe that this will happen. But in 14 days even that door will close.
This stage is over.
Dear little Johnny
Please come home we now have fiber here in Lafayette.
