Entergy and CenturyLink. Our governor is a trial lawyer by trade. So, it's no wonder there will be no measureable tort reform in the state while he lies in bed with Gordon McKernan, Dudley DeBossier, etc.

You heard it here first, the reason CenturyLink will leave the state is because liability insurance rates are less than half in other states (see Colorado).

Sad that one of the poorest states in the country will lose one of it's only two Fortune 500 Companies because personal injury lawyers are allowed to run wild.

Thanks state legislature and Governor JBE!

Key word there is "retiring". Things can change under a new CEO.

Provisions have been made to keep CenturyLink in Monroe. They are not leaving.
