Lafayette Mayor Don Tatzin summed up the State of the City address in five words: "Happy birthday, Lafayette. Love Lafayette."
As the city celebrates its 50th anniversary of incorporation this year, Tatzin reflected on what Lafayette would have been like without incorporation, drawing attention to the many accomplishments that maintain the semirural feel of the city and the many city facilities that would not have been possible otherwise.
Tatzin encouraged all residents to "save the date" of July 29; a day which will be full of events to celebrate the city's 50th.
