Mayor Scott Walker said CenturyTel's decision was "divine intervention".

However, he admitted it helped that Louisiana's two senators had also
lobbied for the change with the phone company and the state Public Service
Commission.

"It's been a black eye for our town, a stigma," he said.

"I don't think it's anything bad on us, just an image," he added. "We're
good Christian people."


Maar: nieuwe prefix = 749 => 74x9 = 666 :-)
