MILTON,De. - As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 100 people had signed a petition being circulated in Milton. These citizens, lead by Ed Harris, a former town councilman, are calling for the town to reverse a decision to construct seven foot tall chain-link fences around key facilities. Harris is calling for more decorative fences that will boost the town's image.

The $37 thousand investment would build fences around three main locations in town; The Shipbuilders Tower, the Chandler Water Tower, and the town maintenance yard. In order to fund the project, the town will be using a $30 thousand grant from the Department of Homeland Security, which is meant to keep key locations safe from terrorism.

He said the chain link fences would make the city look like a prison, and says better fences would be a worthwhile investment.

"This doesn't help our image," he said pointing at a chain link fence. "It doesn't sell our town as a positive. It's actually does just the opposite. It's an unfriendly fence. And it looks like a prison."

But town clerk Kristy Rogers told WBOC that the town is doing the best with the resources they have available. She said the council members didn't want to raise taxes on their constituents more than they had to. She said the move from chain link fences to decorative ones would have cost the town thousands of dollars above what is currently being spent. "The grant was only $30,000 through homeland security," she said. "We wanted to definitely address all three areas for security for safety around these facilities." Rogers said that the concerns about the chain link fences were also exaggerated. She said the town avoided the barbed wire option like some towns do, and said the chain link fences would not be a problem aesthetically. Howard Hartley of Milton said that he would pay higher taxes for a more secure fence, but not for mere appearances. "I'd say put up one as secure as you can," he said. "I wouldn't work about the aesthetics about it. I mean it's a fence. It's supposed to keep people out. Especially if someone is trying to get in there to do some damage." Milton has to use the grant money by June or they will lose it all. Although the contract has been voted on and finalized, Harris said he will continue to gather signatures, with the hope that the contract will be altered.

Petition Circulated Against Milton Fences

The German shepherd and French mastiff are laying in mud puddles on opposite sides of the entrance. Having rained the day before, the dogs are subjected to the intense Louisiana humidity.

However, the dogs may be the most comfortable living things that spend their days at the jail, located just off of the Thibodaux bypass at 952 La. 3185.

The jail was built in 1976 and was designed to hold fewer than 100 inmates. It now has a capacity to hold up to 245 inmates. But there are more people arrested than that in Lafourche. The overflow is housed in three other jails.

It costs Lafourche $4 per day to house an inmate in its parish jail. On Friday morning, 98 inmates were being housed in facilities outside Lafourche, costing the parish an extra $2,220 per day.

Sheriff Craig Webre is pushing for money to build a new detention center to replace the jail that is outdated and deteriorating.

Registered voters can cast their ballots Saturday on a 0.2 percent, 30-year sales tax to build a $30 million, 600-bed jail.

The outside of the jail looks like any other nearly 40-year-old building in south Louisiana.

The color is fading from the red brick exterior walls. The inside looks much older than its age.

The dull, beige paint is peeling off inside walls, though repainting the facility is the least of the sheriff's concerns.

President Obama was at Fort Bonifacio in Taguig, Philippines, on Tuesday, during the last leg of his four-nation tour through the Asia-Pacific region.

President Obama returned to Washington on Tuesday after a weeklong visit to Asia.

The four-nation tour was designed to showcase U.S. involvement in the region, but it produced only modest diplomatic developments. And toward the end of the trip, the president offered a modest assessment of his overall foreign policy.

The Asia trip didn't produce a blockbuster trade deal, or bring an end to North Korea's nuclear threat. The U.S. won a smaller-scale agreement to station military forces in the Philippines. And it polished its newfound ties with Malaysia. This is the kind of workaday diplomacy that President Obama says is not sexy but pays off in the long run.

"That may not always attract a lot of attention, and it doesn't make for good argument on Sunday morning shows. But it avoids errors. You hit singles; you hit doubles. Every once in a while we may be able to hit a home run. But we steadily advance the interests of the American people and our partnership with folks around the world."

The ongoing crisis in Ukraine cast a shadow over the trip. Having watched Russia annex Crimea with only limited challenge from the West, Asian allies wanted reassurance the U.S. will support them against any aggressive moves by China. Congressional Republicans, like Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, have criticized what they say is the administration's tepid response to Russia's moves in Ukraine.

"I'm very concerned that as we've seen from this administration on so many tough issues, their policies are always late after, after the point in time when we could have made a difference in the outcome," Corker said on CBS.

Obama suggests his critics are really calling for a stronger military response, and argues they haven't learned the lessons of the Iraq War:

"Frankly, most of the foreign-policy commentators that have questioned our policies would go headlong into a bunch of military adventures that the American people have no interest in participating in and would not advance our core security interests."
