For all his faults, at least Huey did things for the state while enriching himself and his family through his corruption. We have roads and buildings that are still being used.

With EWE, we just got the corruption.

At least Huey had the good sense to get assassinated.

The total ROI on the "good things" that Huey Long did is nowhere near enough to justify the corruption that he institutionalized.

Not only that, he institutionalized a strain of anti business philosophy that is often leftist in nature in Louisiana's electorate that has made it damn near impossible for this state to attract any worthwhile out of state economic development.

His assassin should've gotten a medal.

Further proof Huey Long is America’s worst governor of all-time. Long was not assassinated. It’s propaganda. Long died as a result of his thugs executing a man who punched him. They shot so many bullets, some ricocheted off the marble and into Huey.. You can still see the bullet marks in the hallway of the capitol. The man punched Long because Long ruined his father’s life.

Long is still a cancer to Louisiana. Blow up the statue and both bridges.
