The corruption continues and we are part of it.

Can the state fix I-20 through Bossier City?
What a dick! How dare he give our university $10 million that could exponentially benefit our State!
I’d love to know how long he has been thinking of fixing Hwy 80 from town all the way past Tech Farm and how long he has been holding on to the idea for this project. Curious that both are right here at run off time.
This money would stay in S La if he were leading by 10.Quote:

Since I, you know.... work out of the Cyber Innovation Center... (technically the ITC right next door), I think I can speak and say that Gatti's not exactly correct. Barksdale is hurting for people that have TS clearance so much that they are hiring our cleared Civilians and Veterans and bringing them back on base. I'm in the TS process now and they are predicting that it will take 18 months to go through the whole process. CSRA (Now GDIT) has brought in several big money contracts to the CIC and ITC in the last 4 years. Not sure how the finances work to get the money back to the state, but I think it's been a good investment.
Yuck to both.
Rispone uses LSU football in some way in all the commercials I’ve seen him run.Quote:

We might see Jon Bel Obama crawfish on this one. Reckon?
He's probably already diverted it to Planned Parenthood.Quote:

From the article PW posted: "Pay here averaged $50,359 per year compared to $52,178 in the 16-state region."
The 16 state region is the SREB - the states comprising the Southern Regional Education Board - and includes Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware. Those states have higher costs of living and higher paid teachers. If you factor in cost of living are our teachers really doing that poorly?
Go and spend a full day with a Louisiana teacher and let me know if they are "really doing that poorly."
Nothing to do with them doing poorly. I'm married to one and she has a great job.
He flat out lied to the teachers and support workers. They were taken in by his lies and their votes put him over the top. He didn't get a vote from my household.

You have to wonder at how gullible they were! I admit there was no great candidate in opposition, but any idiot that paid attention could have seen that he is a liar! Shock- he lied to them!Quote:

My post was referring to the article PW posted. It talks about the possibility of a walkout and was the reason for the question. Are they doing poorly enough to stage a walkout?Quote:

No. I think you know where the grumbling comes from. It's from the union do nothing teachers and the "support staff" workers who consider themselves as valuable as the teachers. The media LOVES to jump to the defense of these liberals looking for hand outs.Quote:

Elections have consequences. The teachers got the governor they wanted. I hope it taste real good going down. (I do sympathize for teachers such as PD's wife since she didn't support the idiot!)
Thanks HD, but we knew what was going to happen. We were surprised that the race was as close at it actually was. She/we are happy with her job situation. Only a few years left...Quote:

I'm sorry! I know you have probably looked into all of this, but can you have him qualify with his own income and get assistance and SSI? In Louisiana, I believe he would qualify for assistance based on his income. We are trying to make plans for when we are gone at my house -only reason I know or believe that I should say.Quote:

Yep. In Louisiana, not only can they qualify for SSI, but also there is a waiver they can get with money either month- not sure of the amount. I haven't looked into that since we declined it though. You are probably right though, they would still have to have a shared room.Quote:
