re: Some takeaways from Q&A with Eddie Rispone for Governor

Uhhh...how do you think we got JBE?

Imagine this----Louisiana becomes an all voucher education state. You can tell these companies their employees can pick and choose their own schools.

Louisiana corrects it's unfair property tax system and it's unfair tort system with a Constitutional Convention.

Louisiana builds an alternative toll road to I-10.

And the big daddy of all--Louisiana eliminates the state income tax in the Constitutional Convention.


These are the kind of things a businessman will consider. Rispone is a very smart, out of the box thinker. We need that in politics now more than ever.

The man is calling for more school voice, a constitutional convention, ending medicaid fraud---what other candidate is brave enough to espouse those very important stands???

Let's put it this way, cuck. If a piece of shite like you supports him, like you supported JBE and Hillary.... EVERYONE should be against him

Where have you ever gotten the idea I supported JBE and Hillary???

What planet do you live on??

Where did you go to school?

Not a giveaway by any stretch of the imagination. You get more money than you would have otherwise had you not given the "ITEP". It usually pays for itself in year one and sunsets in just 10 years. Remember, we wouldn't need the ITEP if we didn't have a completely corrupt and business-repellant tax system relative to our neighboring state which possesses nearly all of the natural resource advantages we have.

I'm not opposed to ITEP, I just think there needs to be more light on the process. Besides the revenue "in play" is local revenue, and not state revenue.

I'm stacking the millions of dollars the state gives away in various programs to their favorites not ITEP.

In most years of budget short fall the last 10 years the film tax credit elimination would have filled at least 50% of the budget shortfall.

I guarantee you Rispone will not need someone to spoon feed him the information on film welfare and he will not be fooled by elaborate industry studies that talk about economic impact. (BTW JBE and Dardenne are going to be presenting another one of those this year to keep the film welfare going to their buddies. They even flew JBE and his wife to Hollywood under some guise of Hollywood support law enforcement of something. The reality was the trip was lobbying for welfare. New Mexico is about to end their film welfare having seen the light. It is amazing how dumb some leges are about this welfare program. It is also amazing but not surprising how many dollars are flowing to leges that support it. So of them are so cheap a simple call from an actor will get them to support giving away hundreds of millions of Louisiana taxpayer dollars.)

The locals have a big say in whether a given site is being considered.

You buy $5 million worth of media in Louisiana and the entire state will know your name. Watch and see.

Rispone will beat Abraham by 10 or 15% I suspect. Nobody knows Abraham outside his district and he does not have the money to educate the public. I live in his gerrymanded district and I don't know him. I don't think he has ever been to my precinct.
