Louisiana official wants to take library’s money to build new jail

Voters in one Louisiana parish will decide Saturday whether to devote funding for their library to a new jail.

Lafourche Parish Council Lindel Toups pushed the measure because he disapproves of some of the library’s programs.

“They’re teaching Mexicans how to speak English,” Toups told the Tri-Parish Times, referring to a Spanish-language section at one of the nine branch libraries.

“Let that son of a bitch go back to Mexico. There’s just so many things they’re doing that I don’t agree with,” Toups continued. “Them junkies and hippies and food stamps (recipients) and all, they use the library to look at drugs and food stamps (on the Internet). I see them do it.”
