EVERY politician in Louisiana should announce that they will not run for re-election, Their desperate attempt to shift blame to FEMA is sickening.
Louisiana operates under Napoleanic law. The french have left their stamp on this state and it's fair to say their stamp is a stamp of defeat. The leadership in Louisiana SURRENDERED. they simply gave up.
It says something when the lower level political jurisdictions hold the state in such disdain that they would not allow the state to collect sales tax on their behalf. In Texas you pay the state comptroller who in turn pays the local jurisdictions based on what's reported. In Louisiana you pay each local jurisdiction directly.
These people don't trust each other and fell flat on their face when the chips were down. You ought to be ashamed Louisiana. At least Haley Barbour can get on TV and convey a thought without crying like a baby. WTF is wrong with Louisiana? French tradition?
