I am not suggesting that democrats are not corrupt. However, there have been a series of high level corrupt actions recently by republicans that are accompanied by the action of republicans to dismantle the ethics in government watchdog agencies. When the party in control uses government power to overtly enrich themselves, it creates an opening for the other party.

This is not a controversial issue.

good for him! you know what they say you can't be too thin or too rich.

i'm sure it was all done legal, we have those self appointed watch dog groups in arkansas as well, professional belly archers! they spew a lot of garbage nothing ever comes of it because republicans have a super majority in the legislature and control every constitutional office.

hey enjoy your data center that was a nice get should create a lot of construction jobs.

I’ve got a feeling there was and still is a lot of other politically connected people that made money or will make money from inside information and shady, back room deals on this and other data center projects, that’s why the general public is being left out and completely avoided when the permit and permission process happens.
On a side note…Foster Campbell helped rush through permitting process for that Meta data center, after being an absolute prick and stumbling block to every other public service and energy company in the state and he suddenly decided he had enough money put away to retire from the PSC.

What about state and federal?

Of course he did. Slimy SOB.

Just my opinion but most seeking a congressional seat are doing so for their own financial interests. Has nothing to do with serving their constituent’s. Politics is a business plain and simple. Earning money on the side or moving up within the political corporate structure.

Bingo

Over his 50-year career spanning both the House and the Senate, Thompson has been highly successful at securing millions of dollars in state funding for localized projects in Northeast Louisiana. Accusers frequently reference local reservoirs, infrastructure projects, or economic initiatives he championed as his personal "grift lakes" or vanity projects. Critics argue these projects primarily benefit specific land developers or are used as political leverage to guarantee his re-election rather than serving a broad public good.

The Good Shepherd Head Start Program Auudit: In terms of official oversight, Thompson's name was tangentially tied to controversy in 1997 when the Louisiana Legislative Auditor investigated double-billing practices at the Good Shepherd Head Start Program in his region. While the audit exposed double dipping regarding federal and state child care grant funding, it did not culminate in criminal corruption or "grift" charges against Thompson himself.

This is the same state senator that was given the task of drawing up new districts and he threw away a good looking 6-0 map in favor of a gerrymandered 5-1 map, right?
