– Some St. Martin Parish Council members and Parish President Pete Delcambre were critical of internet and cable TV provider Optimum for what they felt were lessthan- straightforward efforts to bring high speed fiber optic internet services to the City of St. Martinville without getting specific permission from the parish council for access through the parish to the city, and for installation of lines in areas where the company has not received parish permits to install such lines.
Optimum Senior Director of Government Affairs Johnny Moyer spoke to the council’s Administrative/Finance Committee this past Tuesday to seek permits from the parish council to provide internet access to some parish residents on the outskirts of the St. Martinville city limits.
But Councilwoman Carla JeanBatiste had strong words for Moyer about the company bringing access to the city along routes not approved by the parish.
