St. Bernard - After meeting in executive session for more than two hours, St. Bernard Parish Council members decided Thursday to take no action to pursue legal options following a federal district court judge's contempt of court ruling last week.
St. Bernard complied Friday to avoid facing thousands of dollars in fines, but Parish President Craig Taffaro said the council and administration are buying time for now.
Taffaro said, "we still believe that as a municipality, the parish council and administration has the right to govern our own parish and to make land use and zoning and planning decisions at a local level and that we deserve some protection as long as we are in the scope of law and we believe we are."
