re: Together Louisiana is at it again with some pure propaganda

I agree it’s still too dependent

Just saying that there are things in place for it to be a prosperous, nice place to live

JBE and his lawyer friends are killing O&G in this state

Very True. If you are contemplating where to put a new business or plant and things like ports, feedstock are equal where would you go?

La. Crooked politicians, high income and sales taxes, shitty infrastructure and generally unskilled labor or

Tx. More efficient state and local governments, no state income tax, better infrastructure, BUSINESS FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT, etc.

SO if Louisiana wants to overcome these disadvantages you have to basically pay them. Who pays them? Louisiana citizens pays them.

Louisiana's only real hope is New Orleans and/or Baton Rouge. Laugh all you want but those metros are the only ones capable of supporting certain things merely based on size. Don't count me among those optimistic about Louisiana's future. I'm just saying that Lafayette will never be anything more than a college town with a few decent jobs.

I don't understand this belief tjat small towns will become the epicenter of industrial growth. Lafayette is a decent size city. And it admittedly is much better off than majority of Cenla (Alexandria most notably).

However, even Laffy is restricted to how much it could reasonably grow even with the industry it has. BR and NOLA, all flaws aside, are the only cities with the infrastructure and services to support an increased white collar job market.

The big issues are being 50th in legal climate, without tort reform this state is scrwed. JBE and his gumbo pac cronies will sue their own mother to make a buck. He’s set them loose on the O&G companies. Both ExxonMobil and Phillips66 have publicly said these are issues on why They won’t spend money here. As far as working in offices New Orleans had the HQ’s for the oil business when Houston was a shite hole prior to the 80s. Families like the Landrieu’s and the Edwards’ pushed them to Texas and it self perpetuated. That industry is lost forever. We need to push the Northshore as a spot for industry HQ’s with the likes of chevron, LOOP, Rain CII Carbon, LLOG and Globalstar setting up their headquarters already. We have to have tort reform and a constitutional convention to clean up systemic issues to attract real business.

this thread ain't blaming JBE for shite

tbr is doing the same thing with ebr teachers. get this - they actually had a closed door meeting with teachers to encourage them to boycott the upcoming exxon board meeting for the purposes of telling exxon to stop "stealing" teachers' pay raises through corporate tax breaks.

they did a good job of keeping the propaganda meeting a secret. no ebr administrators were allowed. the sjw sheeple teachers ate that crap up

tbr is vile and shameless
