SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 115
BY SENATOR CHAISSON
A RESOLUTION
To commend the River Region Caucus and its member parishes for their cooperative efforts
toward improving the quality of life in the river region.
WHEREAS, formed in 1998, the River Region Caucus (RRC) is comprised of the
governing bodies of Ascension, St. Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist parishes; and
WHEREAS, the mission of the caucus is to seek regional cooperation among the four
participating parishes on various issues and to work together as a regional alliance to solve
common problems; and
WHEREAS, because the region shares similar challenges and values and because the
parishes are a part of the same economic region, the caucus has several collective goals,
including increasing awareness for state policy and decision makers on issues related to
infrastructure improvements, transportation and safety, traffic management, community
development, environmental planning, and economic development; working cooperatively
to maximize their images, services, and communities; improving the quality of life for their
citizens through better communication; identifying and planning opportunities to promote
and advance the culture and interests of the river region; and increasing awareness of and
educating the public and statewide decision makers about the region; and
WHEREAS, the River Region Caucus merits a special measure of commendation for
its significant contributions toward meeting the needs of the citizens of Ascension, St.
Charles, St. James, and St. John the Baptist parishes and for the pride and honor it brings to
the river region and to the state of Louisiana.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Senate of the Legislature of Louisiana
does hereby commend the River Region Caucus and its member parishes for their
cooperative efforts toward improving the quality of life in the river region.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be transmitted to the
River Region Caucus.
