District 9 Deserves the Facts About Bonterra, not Deception
Mike Smith has Never Supported Bonterra or Other Similar High Density Developments
Bonterra Phase 1 was Approved by the Parish Zoning Commission on Dec. 3, 2019
Mike Smith Took Office on Jan. 13, 2020

To Arbitrarily Deny the Project Without Legal Basis Would Have Resulted in Costly Litigation at The Taxpayers' Expense
Instead, Mike Smith Has Consistently Worked To Not Only Get Concessions From Bonterra, but Also Prevent Future High-Density Developments

Any Opponent That Make Gross Generalizations That Distort the Facts Does Not Deserve to Represent You
"It has been a privilege to serve the citizens of District 9 and I would consider it an honor to serve another term to continue the great work we have done together." -Mike Smith
