Leaders fail to show for anti-litter event in Eunice

Sat, 03/24/2018 - 1:06pm

A disappointed Keep Eunice Beautiful director Donna Baltakis said the city’s business and school leaders were missing from the Leaders Against Litter event at City Hall on Friday.
“They all got letters. We sent 191 letters from the lieutenant governor — emails and phone calls — and they didn’t show up. I don’t know what that says about our community, but I know it depresses me.”
Baltakis thanked about 20 people, mostly city workers and officials, and Keep Eunice Beautiful activists who showed up for the annual cleanup event.
