[edit] Website evaluation

Main article: Evaluation of Louisiana parish websites

[edit] The good

  • An inspection of the website finds that it includes a complete listing of council members and their contact information.[1]
  • Meeting minutes for the current year are archived on the home page[2], while minutes and agendas from 2005 have their own page.[3]. Other years do not appear to be online.
  • Administrative officials are listed.[4]

[edit] The bad

  • The budget is listed as "coming soon."[5]
  • 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 available online.
