Louisiana Attorney General Reports March 28, 2011 (Opinion Number)

Dear Mr. Neilson: In your capacity as administrator of the Waterworks District No. 1 of DeSoto Parish ("District"), you ask the opinion of this office concerning the proper way for the District to pay a one-time salary supplement to its employees. You advise that the healthy local economy, spurred by the Haynesville Shale District, has created a local labor shortage.
