[edit] Website evaluation

Main article: Evaluation of Louisiana parish websites

[edit] The good

  • It includes information about who is on the board of trustees (the governing agency) of the parish.[1]
  • The website includes a 2008 budget, but no budgets for earlier years.[2]
  • Contains information on zoning and permits.[3]

[edit] The bad

  • No information is provided about how parish residents can request access to public documents of the parish under Louisiana's sunshine laws.
  • Parish audits, contracts, and tax information is not online.
  • Permits are not downloadable. Nor can one check the status of an application online.
