I find your comments funny considering in another thread you were showing your racism.

Now that a republican is in charge, we are adding jobs and kids are reading better.
There have been many Republican governors since 1980.

I wanted to agree with you but Google AI states that LA has roughly 70k state workers and 130k individuals employed by cities and parishes around the state.

That really only matter for lower middle and lower class. If your household is in the top 10% in income, anywhere in the US has good quality of life.

Which still doesn't address how Republicans have been in control of the state for a while now and indicators are still abysmal. Or worse.

stfu
i can tell you, im well in that category yellowfin talked about...my life is great. i pay not to be around the bottom 20%. if their life sucks oh well
guessing you are in that bottom 20%? maybe instead of being the class clown you should have paid attention in school

Well kinda. I believe society in the US has become too dumb to elect their leaders. We need to change who is allowed to vote or scrap it all together

Anyone who’s paid a smidgen of attention to LA’s politics since the 1980s know that a significant % of “republicans” in the 80s-00s were previously democrats.
The best example of this wolf in sheep's clothing / democrats pretending to be republicans was Governor Mike Foster. The switching from being a donkey to an elephant didn’t change those individuals political viewpoints; was only a means to maintain power.
So enough with the assertion that LA has been governed by conservative republicans for the last 4 decades.

Louisiana’s average public K-12 education spending is approximately $14,645 per pupil, ranking 25th nationally. Funding relies on a hybrid formula (the Minimum Foundation Program), with state aid supplemented by local taxes and federal funds. Actual spending varies widely across districts.Breakdown of Funding SourcesState Funding: State allocations are governed by the Minimum Foundation Program (MFP), which establishes a base cost to educate a standard student and provides weighted, supplemental funding for special needs, English-language learners, gifted students, and career-technical education.Local Revenue: Local school boards generate a significant portion of the budget through property (ad valorem) and sales taxes. Because local wealth differs across the state, per-student funding relies heavily on a district's tax base.Federal Support: Louisiana public schools receive a notably high percentage of funding from federal sources (about 20%-24%), exceeding the national average.District-Level VariationsPer-pupil spending fluctuates significantly from one school system to another. Recent district-level data illustrates these disparities:Orleans Parish: ~$38,300 per pupilPlaquemines Parish: ~$20,166 per pupilNatchitoches Parish: ~$16,838 per pupilOuachita Parish: ~$13,815 per pupil

Lies. 1k people are expected to be employed there post construction, and it will likely be far lower, since almost no jobs in a data center require on site employees. There may be 1k people "working on the data center," but they'll be in India or SFO. You just need guys making 70k a year doing rack and stack, the electricians are contractors, etc.
