re: What would you do if you were Mayor of baton rouge or governor of Louisiana?

SWB sucks... But I don't think JBE is that bad. He can't be any worse than Jindal, but my main focus would be creating new industry.

That is the key to several problems in La. Stopping the "brain drain", not having to live and die by the oil industry as much, etc.

And then education. Families who are wealthy, if they want to send their children to private schools. that's cool, but middle class families shouldn't, for the most part, be forced to send their kids to private schools, in order to get a decent education.

And work on the health care system. I don't know enough to say exactly what I would do, but I would learn everything about it and have advisors who can help me figure out the best way to approach the situation.
