Why are we all shitting on this improvement? Because it’s a local government project as opposed to a private one? Because it’s SWB’s idea? Because it’s in NBR?

If Mike Wampold or John Enquist stepped upped to the podium and committed X Million dollars to a major project in NBR, and Amazon announced a regional operations center there, and Apple stepped up about building a regional sales office there all because the parish had stepped up to the plate and committed CATS to provide public transportation, road upgrades and a waiver of city sales taxes in the blighted area then we’d have something to crow about,

But I do not suspect we will see any of that. I think we will hear all about how the parish with Federal and local taxes is going to revitalize NBR. And that won’t work.
