Where’s JBE?

JBE is down in NO making sure the Saints stay put.

Soon he’ll be at LSU helping O coach.

He’s no dummy, it’s election year and he has a surplus to dole out. He’ll take full advantage of that too.

So far he’s doing well to run away from real issues and put himself in a favorable light.

It doesn't really matter who the Governor is, nothing ever changes. Never has and likely never will. That being said I will never vote for a Democrat especially JBE. His whole family is corrupt.

The daily Republican shill post on the governor race. How much do you get for these posts?

Just a Louisiana shill and hopefully a future grandfather who hopes not to have to leave Louisiana to visit my grandchildren.

How about you?

Come on admit it, Mrs. “Teacher Union” Edwards is 100% more likeable than Mr. “Bumpy Head” Edwards!


Edit. Tboy insulted but didn’t refute it!

. Long and his populist ways are too far ingrained in too much of the population here so you get poor governors like JBE who only take more from the producers who are left.

I would say that 80% of the state, if we are being honest, would be considered populist, especially with economics.

Problem is, 80% of the state isn't Democrat. We have a whole bunch of right-leaning, gun-loving, abortion-hating white dudes who love them some populism.

Here's an example. It's well known that one of the ways we can fix our horrible tax system, is be significantly rolling back the homestead exemption, and significantly cutting sales tax rates. It can be done easily in a way that is revenue-neutral. However, property taxes are more stable than sales taxes, as well as are more controlled at the local level. That means we have a more predictable budget, which helps us get lower bond interest rates, etc.

But if you even mention rolling back the homestead exemption, 80% of the state loses their collective shite. I mean, the long-time assessor in Jefferson Parish - a pretty conservative place - used to publicly advocate for DOUBLING the homestead exemption. It's already the highest in the country.

“Pie in the sky” thinking will get you nowhere.

JBE doesn't seem that charismatic.

She says the teachers hate JBE and think his “raise” was a slap in the face. A whopping $1,000 a year. Man, whatever will we do with our newfound wealth?

There are 50,000 public school teachers in Louisiana. They haven't had raises in years. This raise is so we get closer to the regional average of teacher pay.
