Fenton, population 226, brings in over $1 million per year through its mayor’s court, an unusual justice system in which the mayor can serve as judge even though he’s responsible for town finances.

Repeal the town charter and fold it in to the control of the county? I’m not going to pretend that I’m well versed in Louisiana law, but this has happened in lot of other states. If the town is a legitimate trap for the residents of that county/state then isn’t it everyone’s best interest? Including Fentons who clearly doesn’t have another income source.
