re: Why does Landry want to screw up the levee boards?

Which is why I vote no to very proposed amendment to the state constitution

If only more people took this approach, our constitution wouldn't be such a p.o.s.

Then all the people who voted to approve those constitutional amendments last year will piss and moan and blame whatever Democrat gets elected for using the exact powers they gave him or her.

I honestly don't see a current Louisiana Democrat with decent name recognition on the bench who can win a statewide election.

Landry's good for re-election unless there's someone with an "R" beside their name who can raise the money and support to challenge him, and I'm not sure that exists either.

If graves runs as a D, he won’t win. People will bring up the party switch and he will be crushed for it.

I could see Graves running as a moderate Republican

---

He would need about every single business lobbying group (LABI, LMOGA, etc.) behind him with their money and resources, because the State GOP apparatus will give Landry all their resources, and you'll have the hard "MAGA" base in the state dedicated to Landry.

or even jumping parties to run.

I don't think Graves wins doing that, plus it would show a pretty bad bruise on his character to be able to simply throw a "D" next to his name, especially when you consider what the National Democrat Party stands for these days. Anti-oil & gas, men in women's sports, forced COVID vaccinations...all that would be attached to Graves.

Landry is turning out to be pretty horrible but not surprising.

LANDRY
LANDRY

Is it really that surprising though? Typical coonass. Too stupid to know that they don't know shite while assuming they know everything.

LA Times 2005 story

quote:

---

Although the corps and federal officials kept a tight leash on
funding, the Orleans board spent money lavishly, diverting resources
to high-stakes investments such as casinos and marinas. The levee
board’s unusual authority to hire its own consultants allowed its
officials to select firms that regularly gave campaign contributions
to politicians with influence over levee board business.

Rolling back these reforms threatens the safety of New Orleans, the integrity of our flood protection infrastructure and possibly the long-term future of the city.

R’s outside of the NOLA levee system dont really mind that… remember Jefferson and St Bernard Parishes went for JBE

D’s cant win in Louisiana with just NOLA… they can win with NOLA, Jefferson, and St Bernard

Because the electorate doesn't believe in education, thus leaving them vulnerable to corruption.

Because yall refuse to hire anyone with heart. You always find the biggest scumbags to run and its the usual suspects every fricking time. No flavor. Everyone on both sides is a thief. Ones just better than steal than the other and the other is the governments favorite color.

There are people out there, yall dont look.

Why is it so difficult to get competent leadership in LA?

Because most honest, reasonable people don’t have the stomach to do what it takes to win statewide elections here. So we end up having to pick between two loud-mouthed, crooked egomaniacs that played the game well enough to make it to a statewide runoff.
