The Vermilion Citizens Coalition, Inc. registered as a Louisiana nonprofit corporation on Oct. 21, 2026. The group is one of four plaintiffs asking a court to void parish industrial-board actions connected to the SpaceX tax-agreement dispute, according to the state registration and the lawsuit petition.
The Secretary of State record captured Oct. 30 lists the organization as active and in good standing. It names Robert Young as registered agent and as the only director shown on the page. The registration and agent-appointment dates are both Oct. 21.
The petition names the Coalition, Dr. Robert J. Young III, Rebecca C. Young and Cheryl Choate as plaintiffs. It identifies the three individuals as Vermilion Parish residents. The defendants are the Vermilion Parish Industrial Development Board and the Vermilion Parish Police Jury.
The petition alleges eight violations of Louisiana’s Open Meetings Law. It asks the court to void the industrial board’s Aug. 25 actions, award damages connected to that meeting, and award costs, attorney fees and other relief.
