Vermilion Parish Police Jury calls meeting to oppose Island bill
The Vermilion Parish Police Jury is expected to join the fight in stopping House Bill 334.
Today at 6 p.m. in the Vermilion Parish Courthouse on the second floor, the police jury has called a special meeting to adopt a resolution stating that the police jury is not in favor of House Bill 334.
House Bill 334, written by local Rep. Ryan Bourriaque, aims to incorporate four pockets of land in the Abbeville City limits but not considered in the city. There are around 200 residents who live in those pockets, known as “Islands.”
