Landry shuts down 18 million dollar homeless shelter built for Superbowl

Last week, Landry's administration included the costs of operating the shelter in a $50 million funding request to the federal government to reimburse the state for spending on preparations for Super Bowl LIX and Mardi Gras. The $50 million total also covered costs the state spent on overtime for State Police troopers and Louisiana National Guard members who manned the French Quarter and downtown. Steele said in mid-March that state officials had been in talks with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ahead of submitting the request and were "optimistic" that they would be reimbursed in full.

The fact that state and city government clearly (1) recognize there is a problem and can (2) address that problem but only choose to do so when there is a big event is the ultimate slap in the face to citizens

18 million for a homeless shelter that had a 3 month operation. This is pure criminal, and someone needs to be prosecuted. No wonder he’s been to eager to kiss Trump arse.

The biggest slap is the 18 million.
The most expensive build in Louisiana is 17 million they paid a million more for 3 months of work.

Clearly you fail to recognize that there are transgender cows in Syria that need our tax dollars more than the people living on the streets in our country.

to be fair, your example and the $18 million temporary homeless shelter are both complete waste of taxpayer dollars that should never ever happen.

Now to figure out which one of his in laws billed $18 million
Posted on 3/24/25 at 6:30 pm to RaoulDuke504
This is $18 million??

Seems like waste. For 18m probably could have built a real one.

Who the frick got that contract? Landry is a blow hard crony. Talks about wanting a DOGE and hands out stupid contracts like this.

And you can count on zero fingers how many fricks our idiot politicians have to give away.

How much would it have cost to give every single person housed at this facility a bus ticket to Houston? Still a poor use of tax payer money but probably less than 18 million dollars.
The tax dollars spent on the homeless is straight up fraud.

It is not possible for Louisiana to have a competent governor.

But Eddie’s got a Trump sticker on his pickup truck. He’s one of us!
