Deja Vu Opponents Say Bond Money Misspent
The Times reports that opponents of the Shreveport Deja Vu strip club are in a dispute with the city over nearly $4 million in bond revenues that they claim were intended to build a park but were used to purchase land for a downtown convention center.
Scott Sinclair, lead attorney for opponents of the club, said that because the city used bond money to buy those parcels, they legally become parks.Under city law, parks are a protected use, meaning the $4 million Deja Vu cannot locate at 202 Commerce St. Sinclair said.
