re: Paul Hurd: Can Louisiana Be The New Leader Of The New South?

The enormous ruin he left is the ONLY reason the State elected A Dem. Governor.

Probably had more to do with the Vitter hooker shite.

We spend too much money on stupid suit and not enough on things that we need.

We collect far too much in taxes, especially personal income taxes.

Our Governor isn’t yet proven in any way but being a vindictive prick. There is time for him to turn into a dud or a rock star. But I don’t have my hopes up.

this is disingenuous. Louisiana sucked long before JBE. Jindal was a neo-con but his first order of business was reducing state employment numbers, and had he kept going he could’ve decreased the size and scope of govt. Govt is the problem. Make it cost less, that reduces expenses, then allows for lower taxes.

Then he hired all of his buddies in expensive, unclassified roles so they could give out expensive contracts to do the work of the people he ran off. Jindal was an unmitigated disaster and I question both the intelligence and sanity of anyone defending his legacy in 2024.
