18 million would buy a lot of plane tickets.

Rispone’s 2019 campaign was an all time shite campaign

Landry shuts down 18 million dollar homeless shelter built for Superbowl

How much would it have cost to give every single person housed at this facility a bus ticket to Houston?
Probably could have bought each one a starter home.

Good article.
So the Governor's Office of Homeland Security managed that contract and then, a couple of months later, Landry fires the top people and moves it under the National Guard.
Seems either coincidentally, he was pissed at the spending, or someone was being too obvious with the spending.

A bus ticket to Houston is like forty bucks
You could have bought them all apartments for 18 million.

did Houston not take enough of NOLA’s trash after Katrina?

Security guards at the shelter were making $125 per hour.

Without reading all this and clicking on links, does this mean he's an okay governor now? Serious question without doing the above.

The fact that state and city government clearly (1) recognize there is a problem and can (2) address that problem but only choose to do so when there is a big event is the ultimate slap in the face to citizens
Government has the ability to fix the issues that government is suppose to fix.. Infrastructure, education, homelessness, etc, etc but things only get done when it is beneficial to the right people. Keep the people arguing over dumb shite and they will never notice that they are fricking everyone.

I know reading is hard
quote:
It is unclear how much the state ultimately paid to operate the shelter.
quote:
Extending it for a full 30 days would have put the total cost at $17.5 million
quote:
The $50 million total also covered costs the state spent on overtime for State Police troopers and Louisiana National Guard members who manned the French Quarter and downtown.
Lets just pretend like the President wasnt in town, or there wasnt a terrorist attack weeks earlier

I mean if you only had a set amount of funding to clean up that dirty city wouldn’t you clean it when visitors and tourists are coming in town to spend money. (I.e. SB, Taylor Swift, Mardi Gras)

Cleaning up for a big event with tourists makes sense, but it’s the letting it go to shite the rest of year for its residents that is the problem.

It's insulting to residents and business owners. I'm only the latter so I am just screwed by the residents, who continue to vote for this bullshite.

the 70,000-square-foot warehouse, which housed over 170 people at its peak.
Only $105,000 per person at it's peak? What a bargain.
The White house should tell Landry to frick off on this part of the bill.
