Yet Rispone seems very different from Jindal. Jindal and Rispone worked together on school choice and public/private partnerships with votech programs in the community college system. Rispone, like many republicans criticizes a lot of Jindal’s reforms of being half-hearted and more style than substance.
Rispone’s platform is far more radical’s than Jindal because he wants to do what Jindal refused to: call for a Constitutional Convention. The State’s Constitution is the root of a lot of structural issues in the state. Bobby only wanted to put window dressing around the problems. Rispone wants to cut to the source. JBE just wants to bleed the hemorrhaging state dry by keeping the status quo unchanged.
We need a radical, and Jindal, despite his marketing, was nothing of the sort. He was a lipstick applier on a pig. Eddie is here to make bacon.

Constitutional convention was cornerstone of EWE's first term. Beware....

Rispone quite frankly is a political hack.
I actually get your frustration..and you make a few great points, but Rispone's not a political hack. I didn't support him in the primary but now I am. He's a 70 year old man who has never run for office. He's tired of seeing our state wallow around on the urine-soaked floor of a truck-stop bathroom that Democrats before him and a few do-nothing RINOs created. It's time to mop the floor with the old-line Democrat way of doing things.
Jindal was a political hack. JBE is a political hack from a multi-generational family full of local political hacks.

Louisiana governor John Bel Edwards said Thursday in a televised speech that if the state does not address its budget crisis, college sports—namely LSU football—could be canceled beginning in April, according to The Times-Picayune.
Edwards has proposed a series of tax increases that he says Louisiana lawmakers must accept in order to prevent state-funded healthcare and higher education institutions from running out of money on April 30.
“Student athletes across the state would be ineligible to play next semester,” Edwards said. “I don’t say this to scare you. But I am going to be honest with you.
“If you are a student attending one of these universities, it means that you will receive a grade of incomplete, many students will not be able to graduate, and student-athletes across the state at those schools will be ineligible to play next semester. That means you can say farewell to college football next fall.”
I mean....
everyone knew it was bullshite but it was an embarrassing look for the school and state that got national attention

Again if athletes did not complete requisite courses per NCAA requirements , LSU as others would have had significant amounts of players academically ineligible . That is the total context of the statement and he only repeated what higher Ed boards had stated earlier

Uninformed voters don’t care about the truth. They create a boogeyman and vote against it. Despite the fact that JBE never said football would be cancelled, they refuse to believe otherwise to give them the rationale and motivation to vote against him.

It’s beginning to look like it.

You should get JBE's balls out of your mouth for a minute and quit defending him.

I said he did not say he was going to shut it down , he warned of the consequences of not being able to pay instructors who teach most undergraduate classes at universities , not tenured research faculty, and how that could impact sports including LSU football , those are 2 different things

Look if Rispone wins I wish him well , the fact that he is so tied to Jindal concerns me, I will stick with JBE
Posted on 11/14/19 at 2:12 pm to DeltaDoc
I will tell you Sat night after the polls close.
Rispone could win.
JBE could also win.

I agree the entire 2007 2008 budget deals when oil was 150 a barrel and we were flush with oil money was a cluster by all involved , however once the fiscal situation around 2012 changed , what and how the budget process was addressed is what pissed me off with Jindal as everything he did in my opinion was for his presidential ambitions , JBE at least admitted his fubar with respect to stelly
Posted on 11/14/19 at 2:14 pm to JKChesterton
I hope and pray for Rispone but I am not confident. Of course I never saw Trump winning, so who knows at this point. It'll be a close race I think regardless, unless Trump truly tips the scales and the Democratic party being a complete sham helps.
Posted on 11/14/19 at 2:16 pm to DeltaDoc
I hope he does. I don’t have much faith in Rispone running the state. I wish Trump would stop telling us to vote for him, he knows nothing about Rispone
