2023 Move in weekend

[CajunT]

Louisiana has been fumbling thru federal grant money for decades. Katrina/Rita, Ike/Gustav, 2016 flood events, Ida/Laura/Delta and Covid money. JBE still had disaster money, surplus was originally booked to fund the 90/Ambassador interchange but got yanked right after JBE was reelected.
JBE removed it from his list of projects for this area at the time because the local delegation didn't vote his way on several bills he wanted to pass.

At some point we’ll have a run of no disasters and things will get real tight. Louisiana needs to pick their poison if a new constitution is written. Property taxes or sales taxes AND tort reform. Hard to put the burden on businesses, they’ll just pick up and leave like they’re already doing with legacy lawsuits. The average Joe doesn’t realize out of state investors sink millions into Louisiana trial lawyers because they get a good ROI.

Landry had an opportunity to address the liability lawsuits that are causing our auto and business insurance to increase yearly across the board. He addressed a small amount of reform and threatened veto for any legislation that went beyond scratching the surface. He sold out business owners and auto owners to the Trial Lawyers, just like his predecessor.

Some folks tried to sound the alarm on that before and during election season. The signs were all there, such as him siding with JBE and the trial lawyers on the sham Freeport McMoran “settlement”. But…here we are.

I’m hopefully optimistic he’ll govern better than his predecessor, but that’s about it and should be a pretty low bar to clear.

Depressing.

I voted for the guy, but I'm going to call him out for the things he had opportunities to address and took a hard pass.

But a much higher percentage of our new freshman have a chance to go to as many games as they want to, than those 6000 will at uga

The question is will they

As we should do with our elected officials. Wasn't a part of Jeff's platform about lowering Insurance costs and tort reform??

I don’t know about that, especially tort reform. Jeff mostly shyed away from stuff that wasn’t red meat national politics or social issues based.

He wasn’t going to get into issues like decentralizing government power out of Baton Rouge, budget reform, tax burden shifts, ITEP, etc.

Nothing is up.

There are more students living on campus now and UL has a good process in place to get them all moved in over 2 days.

Imagine the cluster____ of 3,000+ students and their families trying unload a dorm room worth of stuff with no process in place.

Cant be more. The total attendance hasnt moved up and way back when wasnt living on campus for freshmen mandatory

[R1Letterman]

A. We probabaly had less "stuff"
B. Some probably came on their own without parents "dropping them off"
