Jeff Landry - Fighting for Louisiana

Scott has been pimping for Landry for years.

He tried hard to quash the truth how Landry tried to make bank for the "Bayou Lafourche Bunch" (workboat owners) by slipping into a USCG Reauth bill to require all production platforms to have standby workboats. This would have shutdown already producing oil/gas wells in the Gulf of Mexico. His excuse was, "I talked to Shell and they were fine with it," Shell only has deepwater wells it would be LOUISIANA based oil and gas companies which would have been rectum raped.

That is why all the Louisiana based oil and gas companies were anti Jeff Landry in the 2012 race with Boustany, He screwed them over. Thankfully Boustany was on the conference committee and got it thrown out of the House version. It wasn't in the Senate version.

Only Jeff Landry would puff his chest about a completely different government making a difference in an area where he sees his political opposition running things.

ETA: SHALL not be infringed

Jeff Landry has my vote. He had it even if kennedy ran.

His prolife lawsuits and his mega lawsuit against (imo, one of the biggest problems in this country) Facebook prove he is pro American, pro conservative, and doesn't give a frick about what others say about him.

People also tend to forget how he and his brother were involved in importing "skilled" workers from Mexico to work on the LNG plants in Lake Charles. Basically bogusing up their resumes and the "need" for "experienced" welders and pipefitters.

....but he's all about America First, right?

I'm for Landry because of the people who are against him.

That white powder bust that he blamed on his roommmate at the time back when he was a cop.

Our problems run deep enough here to resist such patchwork attempts at solutions.

The best D.A. we've had since Garrison was Leon Canizzarro.

But those in charge of City Hall made sure that he would have to come before the Council yearly - hat in hand - and continue being seen as begging for more funding from his political "superiors" so that he could run his office during a time of typical crime throughout the parish.

Those were priceless optics for them - showing how they were in charge.

A D.A. who was focused on accepting felony cases and prosecuting them to the fullest extent the law allowed, which resulted in a conviction rate here of 83%.

But what infested City Hall couldn't have that. Nor could the "constituency" here.

So Canizzarro said "to hell with it" and decided not to run again.

City Hall and the "constituency" here got what they wanted.

That's how we went from a D.A.'s office sporting an 83% conviction rate to one that now has a 66% acceptance rate for violent felonies and a 6 - that's 6 - percent conviction rate.

But the stonewalling and spite in City Hall didn't end there.

It was blatant during the short-lived term of our first Inspector General, Robert Cerasoli, who was hired to ostensibly ferret out wrongdoing in City Hall.

He went through worse than what did Canizzarro.

He tried to operate under even more contrived issues, e.g., chronic, frustrating resistance from within the Hall itself to his investigations, funding, and even included the lack of an official office for himself.

All stonewalling and arrogance led by Nagin.

Finally, Cerasoli said sayonara. He left for "health reasons." He lasted all of 2 years.

Ed Quatrevaux, who followed him, didn't find the atmosphere at City Hall any more accepting of someone whose job it is to impede the rip-off festival.

The current Inspector General, Michel, has assured all that he will investigate corruption - as did the previous I.G.'s Cerasoli, Ed Quatrevaux, and Derry Harper.

But we learned that I.G. Harper seldom showed up for work. So he was one who decided to ride that horse as long as he could get away with it.

But as yet haven't heard Michel's name mentioned by the media or anyone else in connection with the recent flap regarding Latoya's ongoing debauch at the Pontalba.

Michel could spend the rest of his career as N.O.'s I.G. just investigating the Sewerage and Water Board's billing practices.

Considering what's out there to be investigated here, Michel's task is daunting.

He's already experienced some of the stonewalling, spite, and arrogance that the other I.G.s did. It's just beginning for him.

This entire political experiment in futility has been an insulting charade and not even good vaudeville; which will continue for the foreseeable future.

Watch the less than strenuous search for a new Police Superintendent.

Heard that their overtures so far have been met with indifference from around the country. A nice way of them saying, "no thanks."

As for Landry - the people's advocate - he went into political hiding during our contrived monument crisis.

Not a word from him or Nungesser, who like Meerkats, didn't surface until the "threat" was conveniently over.

But even then, not a word from either except for a brief statement from Nungesser assuring us that they would be transferred to other areas for their safety.

How long ago was that? They're still in that makeshift, hastily constructed warehouse.

Pleased Nungesser decided not to waste his time running for the position.

Landry's another Repub who will posture and make a lot of noise if he considers the issue safe for himself within this moderately red environment.

He was one of lone politicians fighting to stop the infringement of our rights.
