re: Study: Louisiana loses college grads to Texas and other states

Education and infrastructure are the big ticket problems. Louisiana doesn't invest in itself. I could even argue that it doesn't exploit its natural advantages as much as it should too.

Getting a pothole repaired is like pulling teeth. Local politicians accomplish so little, but pretend like they are doing so much. And there's now decades of low expectations from taxpayers. That has to change. Nobody is going to vote to tax themselves when they know they won't see a realistic improvement

And major projects like the Darlington Reservoir or the new bridge in Plaquemine get bogged down and never built despite both being desperately needed. There's just not enough leadership or trust to get that done.
