But they can amend the Ordinance without much issue -

All weeklies here in Claiborne are ran in weeklies, same in Bienville and Union -

When the papers went weekly about 20 years ago - they just amended the ordinance that set the publication requirements

Personally, I think it's a joke that they have to be ran in papers - to me all legals should be posted on the entity's web site along with either the LMA or PJAL's website (since we are paying the PJAL almost $10k a year they could easily provide a digital platform for such)

No one reads the paper anymore
