BUSINESS - From Investigation to Insight: The Parish Budget | Collin Sims
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of In The Arena, co-hosts Lauren Navarre and Jared Miguez sit down with Collin Sims for a clear, fact-driven conversation about the financial challenges facing our parish.
Collin explains what sparked his deep dive into the parish budget, who he’s partnering with, and what he’s uncovering through his investigation. Rather than leading with opinions, Collin focuses on gathering facts, educating the public, and bringing in experts to help analyze what’s happening behind the numbers.
They discuss the realities of funding the general fund, why key areas of government are facing serious shortfalls, and how Collin approaches leadership by identifying problems first, then working toward real, practical solutions.
This episode is about transparency, accountability, and empowering people with information — so communities can make informed decisions about their future.
