Because you don’t fix things by pandering to the problem.

Baton Rouge has a problem that cannot legally be fixed. /endthread

I wonder if he would consider it.

Why don’t the “good” people just move back to Baton Rouge? They’d save 250 hours of commute time a year and improve the city’s economy.

The attitude of the voters in BR has proven the he has a better than average chance to be elected as anyone else.

I’m starting to think that the “good” people are just duds.

We moved back to BR after 7 years in the burbs. The time my wife and I save daily is worth the private school tuition.
We only have one school aged kid though. That could get expensive pretty quickly with multiple.

I thought Baton Rouge was in great hands with Cowboy Kip.
You have the state which is losing residents the past couple of years. I'm not sure Baton Rouge can be an oasis of great education, good paying jobs and overall good education system.

Which half do you suggest?

We just happened to get lucky with Kip in that he was actually a pretty good mayor, all things considered.
I would be all behind getting behind and endorsing a mayor who happens to be black, yet possesses all the necessary qualities to get the job done. That's basically what it's going to take.
