re: Can you guys explain to me (a Mississippian) how Louisiana has a Democratic Gov?

On a non partisan take... how is JBE doing? I haven't heard much good or bad lately.

Really should be another thread.

But that said:

1. He raised a bunch of taxes. However, imho, some taxes did need to be raised.
2. He didn't really look to cut spending at all. So the cuts fell on TOPS by default.
3. Oh but public retirees got a COLA.
4. He handled the shootings well.
5. I think he handled the flooding well also. Some people have some complaints, but I think that might be more on FEMA/the feds.
6. He is really going after business. Supposedly lots of projects on hold because the business climate has gotten so bad. Hard to sort this one out objectively, but that seems right.

Probably missing a bunch of stuff.
