John Bel Edwards still wants to raise the minimum wage. LINK

He is too dumb to understand how bad this has worked out in other communities.

Seattle Minimum Wage Hurting Low Wage Workers

He was raised on government money, went to school on government money, what little business his law firm has is government business, and he is at least the fourth generation of his family to have done the same thing.

He has never run a business. He doesn't know what it means and what it takes to be successful in business.

The role of business in his mind it too provide politicians with contributions, provide taxes for them to spend and provide targets for trial lawyers to sue.

He has NO respect at all for the work it takes to build a business.

He can't even build a little bridge over the Tangipahoa River in a timely manner with taxpayer money. He is a poor administrator, his brother is at best a poor administrator of the sheriff's office in Tangipahoa Parish, his father was a poor administrator that left the office virtually bankrupt and he, Frank Edwards, Sr., went personally bankrupt.

Screw him.

and if Diaper Dave Vitter were in this position brought on by years of a republican controlled executive and legislative office, you'd be keeping quiet.

because you're that trash outsiders envision when they think of backwoods Louisiana

I don't think he's too dumb to realize it. I think he's just a modern party line Democrat. A lot of LA Republicans were just too stupid to realize it, or they placed moral turpitude over the fact that they were electing a Gov who saw them as the state's piggy bank.

I imagine JBE has to know he's likely a one-term Gov (though don't count out the Republicans' ability to frick that up!). Thus, he's going to toe the party line in an effort to possibly get a Federal position if/when he's voted out and if/when the Democrats take back the White House or a branch of congress. I think JBE knows EXACTLY what he is doing.

well he figured out a way to keep tops instead of cut funding to higher education so he's not dumb. and he a HELL of alot better than jindal was focused on campaigning for president the entire time he was governor instead of trying to fix the problems at hand while simultaneously trying to convince everyone he was white.

It's hilarious but sad how the republicans who voted JBE are not fricking seething with anger over JBE lying to them about being a moderate/conservative blue dog democrat that promised not to raise taxes and issue too much red tape. He broke that promise early and often his first few months as governor.

But still you're not going to see those JBE republicans get the stones to defend him on here. Cowards.
