NOTABLE PAST ACHIEVEMENTS
Slow the density / protect District 11 drainage
Repeated six-month moratoriums on new multifamily, PUDs, and high-density rezoning in District 11 and the I-12 corridor (examples: Cal. 7395, Cal. 7886 and 8119). Same fight as the coastal-resilience rezoning in Districts 7 & 11 after those moratoriums (Cal. 7822).
Message: Laughlin did not rubber-stamp wall-to-wall apartments on wet ground.
Oversight of boards that spend tax money
Resolution C-7225, pushing the administration to study regional sewer needs in Districts 4 and 11.
First responder property-tax exemption
Ordinance Calendar No. 7558 (adopted 2024). Sponsored on the floor by Laughlin. Puts into parish code the state homestead add-on: up to $2,500 of assessed value off for qualified first responders who own and occupy the home.
Message: “stop nickel-and-diming the people who show up”.
Protect underground utilities from directional boring
April 4, 2024 emergency ordinance Laughlin brought off the floor. Adds rules on directional boring so contractors don’t punch water, sewer, and gas lines.
