Good evening! I'd like to know something about the education offerings in Lafayette, Louisiana please. 
 Gladly! One of the newest college systems in Louisiana, South Louisiana Community College, is headquartered in Lafayette. 
 Are there any universities near there? 
 The University of Louisiana at Lafayette is part of the University of Louisiana System. 
 Is that the same or related to Louisiana State University? 
 Sorry, I don't have that information at this time. Would you like to know about the History or Culture? 
 No, but I would like to know if you have any information about the local government or politics in Lafayette. 
 Public Works and other services, such as Land Use and Plat Review, are operated by Lafayete Consolidated Government (LCG) to serve the City of Lafayette and unincorporated areas of Lafayette Parish, and by contract to some, but not all of the area municipalities. 
 So it sounds like the city and parish governments merged at some point. Are their emergency services also consolidated? 
 Electricity, water, and waste services in Lafayette are served by Lafayette Utilities System (LUS) a City-Parish Government-Run, Publicly owned utility company. 
 It's interesting that the electricity service is provided by the government. Thanks for all the information tonight. 
 My pleasure!
Lafayette, Louisiana
