Worst governor of my lifetime, and there was some serious competition.

“The biggest part of the upfront money we gave to DXC wasn’t to cover some of their cost of coming to New Orleans,” Edwards told BF. “It was money that we gave to our universities and technical colleges to develop the programs that DXC needed.”
Corporate welfare. Dems cannot get excited about this project and should shame the Governor.

What are you talking about? He gave money to higher Ed. Something you obviously never took advantage of

New Orleans. North Louisiana is desperate for economic development, jobs, but we keep getting ignored.

Sentrius won’t like this one bit!

Enjoy the last few months

He gave money to support a specific company. Otherwise he would have proactively pushed for the specific training in hopes of luring this company or one like it. The deal was made to get them here as part of negotiations.

John Bel Edwards payed a publicist good money for this bullshite.
BTW, DXE is basically an HIB company.

And they still came? Was he using Trump's magic wand?? I'm guessing they didn't ask about NO's S&W Board.
That's great for New Orleans and all but how about putting some effort into other parts of the state?

In an exclusive interview with Business Facilities at the governor’s office in the state capitol in Baton Rouge, Gov. Edwards said that DXC’s biggest concern was access to skilled workers—and an assurance that Louisiana could keep producing them.

this is destined to work out smoothly

Higher Ed =/= intelligence. Something you don't seem to understand with you presumptuous high horse

The DXC project was one of the crown jewels of an influx of projects that have made Louisiana a high-tech leader and have fueled a surge in personal wages (LA had the second-highest percentage increase in wage growth in the U.S. during Q2 2018).

That's how I know this "article" is publicity bullcrap for JBE.
If they're looking for skilled workers and good higher education, they're in the wrong state. And that's on top of being completely derelict in asking about what impact local and state taxes would have on their business model and also asking about flood protection for a possible location.
