A lady,Martha Bonetta, now on FNC talking about how her family farm was just hit with all kinds of regulations by locals demanding permits for this and that and the rest. She was threatened with fines of up to 15,000 per day for non- compliance.
The commies are everywhere trying to kill off freedom and capitalism.

perhaps the worst is an elected Republican in Louisiana Sen.Perry who is trying to kill the Cajun Navy for not having enough permits or training. Seems they but a barrier in front of the launching ramps so the cajun navy can not launch their boats without going around the barrier which would be illegal.
Typical asholllll bureaucrats.

They call themselves the “Cajun Navy.”

The group started during Hurricane Katrina, when hundreds from Acadiana went to New Orleans with their boats to make rescues.

“Between us all, we took out quite a bit of people,” said Doug Bienvenue, a member of the group.

Now the “Cajun Navy” is back, but the fleet is facing a few challenges.

Bienvenue is an original member of the fleet, so when GoFundMe accounts and t-shirt sales started popping up throughout flood relief under the “Cajun Navy” name, it didn’t sit well with him.

“Cajun Navy does not sell anything like t-shirts,” said Bienvenue. “We go out to help people, non-profit, from our hearts.”

A Texas man tried to copyright the “Cajun Navy” brand, but couldn’t. He said he had good intentions.

“Hoping to have a situation where I can help some of the flood victims,” said the Texas man. “I have an employee who lives there in Greenwell Springs who lost everything.”

And Louisiana State Senator Jonathan Perry is worried groups, like this one, need regulation and training.

“It’s going to take some work, but it’s very doable to eliminate the liability from the state and also put a cost,” said Perry in an interview with KPEL Radio. “Even if it’s at $25 or $50 training seminar where the person has some type of identification.”

But Bievenue said what the group does has nothing to do with money or liability, it’s simply saving lives.

“Nonprofit. That’s what it’s all about. It’s about saving lives,” said Bienvenue. “That’s what it’s about. We’re not worried about what we have to go through, or how many hours we have to work.”

Similar to the Cajun Navy, who provided countless water rescues when flood waters were at their highest, the group offers a ‘more boots on the ground’ approach to help those in need.

Suzanne Foret recently enlisted and joined fellow soldiers to gut a home on Lake Avenue in Baton Rouge.

“It feels really good to get out there and help each other and help out other people and get this situation handled,” Foret said. “We’re taking care of each other. Louisiana takes care of each other and that’s what we’re doing.”

Volunteers are not just coming from Louisiana. The group started a week ago under the command of Chris King and two of his friends. Now thanks to social media and a walkie-talkie phone app, the force is now about 3,000 volunteers strong from all over the country.

“We’ve got people in Wisconsin, Texas, Mississippi, and Florida,” King said. “We got all kind of people that are connected with us working behind the scenes from computers.”

King said he never expected the group to catch on the way it has, but said it is a blessing to be a blessing to others.

“The three of us that kind of kicked this thing off we look at each other going ‘what in the world did we start?’ But it’s something special,” King added.

Despite the explosion of recruits, the group is a well-oiled machine, with some crews deployed in homes and others delivering supplies and even food.

Raejean Tubre said she was actually helped by the group. It is something that encouraged her to sign up.

“Once I saw how awesome it was to be helped, I immediately went and offered my own time,” she said.

Volunteers are working long days, but no one is getting paid. In fact, the group is not even asking for money. They say what is most needed is more people to get involved.

“The need is out there and we just need people,” Tubre said.

While there is no salute or uniform, the army is just ordinary people looking to do some extraordinary work.
