The Government approved NDAs related to the SpaceX project in Louisiana referred to in a Times Picayune article dated 8/28 is just additional proof of the corruption of the republican party and the business sector. They do not want the people of Louisiana (the taxpayers) to know what the state is giving away to Leon Musk's project in Vermillion parish. It is a secret they would like to hide even though it includes the public's tax dollars.
It is nothing new and follows President Trump's love of NDAs to keep the public in the dark. It is also confirmation why the GOP tax cuts under Reagan, Bush 43 and Trump favored the wealthy and corporations, they are never satisfied. Does anyone really believe Elon Musk and his huge business holdings cannot afford to build his SpaceX project without tax breaks and still make a healthy profit? It is the usual con game that the GOP and the business community use.
Jeff Landry and the State sold out the people of Vermillion parish for jobs his policies could never create under the normal process of selling what the state has to offer. And one thing can be certain if SpaceX is successful, that in time, the environmental damage to Vermillion parish will be great.
