Have y'all N.La people noticed all the $$$ these two cats are throwing around to try to get elected to a seat on the La PSC?
Now, why would somebody spend all that money for a job that only pays 45K a year? :wink:
Unbelievable.

Yeah, this one is ugly. The money being spent is a direct indicator of the power that these guys have if elected. Scary ain't it? I'm not a big Owen fan, but I would vote for a communist before I voted for Cambell.

>>Scary ain't it?
For real.
And, I just realized not too long ago(I'd never really paid that much attention, honestly) but there's not even really a "public service commissioner" per se, like they say in their ads -- there's just a board made up of five folks from the various districts they've drawn up. These guys are battling it out like the I20 corridor district is Chancellorsville.
Do they really carry that much stroke? Well, obviously, I guess. Some how.
