Another Cajun in the Boat

Not sure if this family would be a good fit here. Most of our top donors make their money in the oil industry. If you ride down hwy 90 his dad is on every other billboard trying to drum up a law suit against oil companies. I can't imagine he'd be very welcomed walking around cajun field on a Saturday afternoon in the fall, with all them oil field folks there.

That’s ridiculous.

That’s ridiculous.

His daddy's money would be more than welcomed here

Not true. Do you get frivolous law suits filed against you on a monthly bases? I personally know one of our RCAF board members and top 2 or 3 donors who fights just that every day of his life. Blows lots of unnecessary money just to defend against these sleazy attorneys. I know he would be know where near Gordon in a room.

Look at the names of our facilities Moncla, Moosing(Franks)and Russo(Stabil Drill). All these people in the oil industry and I bet defended themselves in numerous frivolous law suits over the years.

It would make no difference to most oil folks I know.

......Where does it start? Insurance costs go up but they are regulated....ergo the costs are within the scope of the industry making a fair profit.....so the oilers have to increase their costs to cover this expense.....the insurance companies pay the bills the suits present....Louisiana is maybe the worst state around for lawsuits.....the cycle continues!!!

Gotta wonder where they are getting ULL and University of Louisiana Lafayette if our coaches are recruiting on behalf of Louisiana and UL.

You are devoted. I give you that. LOL

[Big Poppa]

Is there a quick list of verbal commitments and who else offered them?

Does Gordon focus on maritime lawsuits and oil based personal injury or just Personal Injury in general? I doubt his focus is just on Oilfield P.I.

From seeing his billboards in BR and along the I10 and 90 corridors he focuses on all things that make our economy go, such as big trucks, offshore, and maritime. I am sure he'd love to get his hands on a few doctors given the opportunity.

So you hate the guy because he chose a profession that makes a ton of money and he’s good at it.

Makes sense to me.
