Now almost 2 years later it is time to move on. The next governor's job will not be any easier. New Orleans is sucking the state dry with their inablility to get anything done. It was a mess prior to Katrina and post Katrina it is still a public relations disaster with the the crime that is in the headlines daily. It would be nice to have a 'clean slate' for governor and lt. governor. This state has an array of problem areas that are being neglected because of the focus on the New Orleans area.

Our state needs more leaders who resemble military leadership, “We serve with respect, dignity and integrity and are above reproach at all times.” That kind of leadership would propel this state ahead of our peers.
