If Times Picayune columnist J.R. Ball's editorial of 3/9/16 on the state legislature and LABI sounds familiar its because you read it here first in PolitiDose. Almost every thing Mr. Ball wrote about has been covered by commentary over the last several years in PolitiDose including a commentary about LABI. Those who live close to the situation in Baton Rouge always seem to have the answer after the facts and too late.
The Louisiana Association Of Business and Industry (LABI) control the state House run by the republican party and do LABI's bidding: republican politicians are generally aligned with the desires of big business and industry; The poor have democrats in their corner; Big business and the rich have republicans fighting their battles; Louisiana is facing a financial crisis not seen in decades; republican legislators want the poor and middle class to clean up the financial mess they helped create by doing Jindal's bidding in the past. Those are some of the remarks in Ball's editorial.
The difference between Ball's editorial and past commentary in PolitiDose is Ball's editorial comes after the facts while comments in PolitiDose happened while the events were taking place and even before with predictions what would happen with Jindal's future budgets. If readers are looking for facts, tune out the Times Picayune and tune in PolitiDose, your daily dose of political commentary.
