Amazon fulfillment centers coming to Baton Rouge and Shreveport. Mayor Ellis stating he's in discussions for a distribution center in Monroe, La. Already the Dem governor making more announcements than fmr Gov Jindal. Seems all he brought to North LA was now defunct chicken houses.

Nah that's all us being lazy shits ordering a shite ton of stuff from our couches and making Amazon invest in more sorting centers.

JBE just says yes sir when Bezos calls and tells him they're putting a distribution center here and there.

I would bet on i-10/i-20 geographical market selection rather than sloths ability to land anything that benefits our economy

Don’t dare credit Edwards for this. Credit the greed of Jeff Bezos. Don’t be ridiculous…

Except they are building a new site instead of using the hundreds of thousands of sq.ft. of empty office and industrial space from the GM and Lucent Technologies plants.

ROTFLMAO. If Rispone was governor and this was happening you'ld be kneeling, kissing his feet, and shouting his praises. Such Hypocrites

Cheaper to build new from ground up than retrofit. Old GM Guide plant was recently leveled near Monroe.

Seems akin to celebrating a Wal Mart opening in the 80s. Is this really an example of “industry” coming in.

I wouldn’t. It has nothing to do with the Governor.

This is all fine and good until Amazon sucks all of the workers and resources in and the surrounding businesses implode.

Jindal convinced Gardner-Denver to relocate to Monroe from Sheboygan, WI. I guarantee you those manufacturing jobs pay more than working for Amazon.

However, your black Jesus Obama promised to build an electric car plant in Monroe...it’s an empty field now

You clearly don’t understand that Jeff Bezos and his multibillion dollar is above the corruption of Louisiana politics and its anti business mindset.

Amazon can afford the bribes and kickbacks that’s going into these facilities.

Already?

JBE has been in office for 6 years now and you’re trumpeting Jeff Bezos cash as some great economic renaissance for Louisiana.

The only way JBE contributed was by keeping people scared so they would stay home and order from Amazon.

He would be enacting a constitutional convention to make more economic development like amazon’s centers happen.

You know things like a new business friendly tax code, crushing the terrible legal climate and sue happy shithole this state is, and decentralizing power away from Baton Rouge.

JBE is doing the opposite of that.
