Louisiana Gov: More Taxes or ‘You Can Say Goodbye To Football’


Edwards painted a sob story by talking about all of the students who would be unable to graduate and the athletes who would no longer be able to play football. It makes you wonder if the reason he’s dwelling so hard on LSU is because he’s painting a sob story or he’s worried that without LSU, the chances of anymore future democrats in the state will be diminished. Food for thought.

“These are not scare tactics. This is reality,” Edwards said. “An unstable state budget will not only hurt children and working families in our state, it will devastate communities, businesses and local government as well.”

The state GOP treasurer, John Kennedy, gave a televised rebuttal following the speech, the Times-Picayune reports.

“Gov. Edwards is proposing to implement the largest tax increase in the history of Louisiana,” Kennedy said, the newspaper reports. “It will wreck our economy, already fragile.”

Let’s not forget about the white elephant in the room. If Louisiana’s state economy is already in such a bad state, how will raising taxes fix the problem without pushing the citizens of Louisiana further into debt? Pardon the farm talk, but you can’t milk a dry utter.
