Optimism

Also Venture Global is here and is a major sponsor of Saints and I am guessing the Pels soon. Caesars is invested in city PELs will sign a lease extension. Keeping them here another 15 yrs. When teams are sold, hopefully state will continue to grow economically and they’ll be enough money to keep them both. We’re a much better position now than we were 2 to 3 years ago.

It’s very simple if the team wins people go to the games if not, they won’t

Both are great can’t go wrong either way but dor the overall the experience go to Brennan’s for breakfast/ brunch and Galatoires for a Friday afternoon lunch

Some people are against any form of economic development NDAS are needed to compete against other states THe Spade X is huge for state for long term The media will do anything to try and create backlash against Landry while tbey covered for JBE during his disastrous tenure STate finally has economic momentum and more stuff is on the way

Is Graves going to run for governor next year ?

This is a national phenomenon. Print media dead. The Athletic won’t exist in a few years. ESPN is laying off a bunch of people Sports journalism is shrinking

Nagin first term was last good mayor. Mitch was the worst

Starting next year admission standards will be increased and enrollment reduced. The students who don’t get in will be shifted to LSU NO LSU A LSU E and the regional schools. LSUNO is expected to increase enrollment by 2000 kids in 2027 by taking the kids that wood have previously gotten into LSU. I don’t think you say many changes for 2026 I think 2027 you will start to see a shift to improved academics and standards in Baton Rouge.

The NO Metro area is most important to the State especially if you include the Northshore. BR and New Orleans metro areas should really function as one region It is a shame that Orleans Parish is run by incompetent leftists. If Orleans had serious business minded leadership the whole state would be better off

I’m just happy JBE is gone. He nearly destroyed LSU.
