Well, this about sums it all up.

He raised state taxes to expand more handouts. He's bragging on some faux surplus because he took away the Trump tax cut at the state level and called it revenue.

And your paycheck comes from that. So as a taxpaying Louisiana citizen........you're welcome.

That was apparent.

The government class is all in for JBE. He is one of them. Fourth generation politician. His entire life has been government of one sort or another.

Good luck to you but I doubt any government employees are going to convince any republicans to vote for JBE.

Raise Sales tax and extreme budget cuts


There have been zero actual cuts to any state entities under JBE. Most didn’t even get reductions in the rate of increase. All JBE has done is increased taxes to give pay raises to government employees and expand medicaid. The worst part is we have no improvements to infrastructure to show for all that spending. JBE has been a disaster.

Bingo.

As our state continues to lose jobs and people to other states, JBE is running around talking about how great our state is. His version of "fixing Jindal's mess" is adding on to it.

Government class, plus the 1.4 million plus on Medicaid is a lock for JBE.

He wins if people aren’t paying attention to how bad our situation really is.

Balancing the budget via massive tax increases did nothing to solve our problems, or make us competitive with our sister southern states much less the rest of the nation; yet Edwards bragged as if he’d really done something.

The man comes from a political dynasty and from a family who has done nothing but work for the government, mainly Tangipahoa Parish. He will put government first, you can believe that.

It is your right to vote for whomever you want. But it is my right to say that you should be thanking us for funneling your paycheck while the state goes to hell in a hand basket at the hands of your Honor Code savior.

man, a state worker with a sense of entitlement and subjective setup trying to tell people why he's more insightful than others.

Both republican candidates have said that if the other makes the runoff, they will endorse their fellow republican. How is that splitting the vote?

Really?

Then why has there been not one single poll publicly available that shows JBE has the necessary 50.1% to win the first round outright?

Why has JBE not passed 50% in approval rating polls for well over a year now?

Sure, but what you do with your vote doesn’t merit respect.
