re: Tort (Legal) Reform is by far the biggest issue in the Louisiana Governor’s race

Tort reform would not be my #1 issue if I were governor, but it would be in the top 6.
6. Tort reform
5. Drainage and coastal protection/restoration
4. Criminal justice reform (creating stricter sentencing, parole, and bail guidelines for rape, armed robbery, attempted murder, murder, carjacking, etc to remove the judge and da flexibility that leads to “revolving doors” for criminals. Marijuana and concealed weapons possession would become completely decriminalized. I would also overhaul what ticket revenue can be used to fund so that police departments no longer profit off of tickets or base their budgets off of speed traps)
3. Road/rail Infrastructure plan (investment in repairing dilapidated bridges, build I-49 connector, build BR loop with new bridge, replace Lake Charles bridge of death, upgrade rail crossings for BR/New Orleans passenger rail that eventually will run from BTR to downtown NOLA connecting SU, Exxon, downtown BR, Blue Bayou, Gonzales, Marathon, LaPlace, Norco, MSY, and Xavier along the way. The downtown BR station would have a streetcar line that goes east/west to River Center where it meets another line going north/south between the capitol and LSU)
2. Tax reform (eliminate inventory tax and income tax, lower state tax revenue in concert with reduced responsibilities of state government so locals can tax themselves more and take more responsibility)
1. Constitutional reform (reduce number of parishes, divest many state government responsibilities to parish governments, eliminate line item veto, give local control to many boards and commissions, etc)
