Southside/SEDD Shambles

 

January 19, 2023



There are many to blame for the deplorable conditions in most areas of the southside of Monroe LA, but residents are most at fault for allowing conditions to become so dire. The residents of the southside have not held its representatives accountable for achieving goals that signal progression for the area, nor have residents submitted a plan in writing to elected city council representatives, which would hold them accountable for the community’s demise.

Voters and residents have attended numerous community meetings, but still, nothing has been visibly done to improve the southside community. There has not been any transparency with the Southside Economic Development District board (SEDD), where citizens are informed of the plans to transform the southside.

Where are taxpayers' dollars going? SEDD continues to have leadership that is fired and rehired, along with numerous resignations. SEDD has been operating for more than 25 years with nothing to show. What will it take to get leadership and representatives that will step up to implement the much-needed change the community needs?

Need another reason to vote and to see why your vote is so important?
