Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and the state’s Bond Commission denied $600 million to Citibank and Bank of America over the gun control stance adopted by both companies.

"Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry"

I wonder if he's any relation to Troy Landry of History Channel's "Swamp People."

With $600 million at stake they’ll probably both be found with three “self-inflicted” gunshot wounds to the back of the head or inside an alligator. Bank of America has been mobbed-up since the day it was formed.

I got a Citibank mailing today. I don’t open junk mail, but it was probably a credit card sales pitch. It didn’t make it into the house as I’d gone out though the garage. There is a trash receptacle in the garage.

Jeff Landry is running hard to be the GOP nominee for governor next year. Because Williams (D) won in a fluke election it is likely the GOP candidate will prevail.

Excellent.

After being a customer for more than a decade, I closed my Bank of America account and transferred my funds elsewhere....and had the pleasure of telling them exactly why they had lost me as a customer. My words were “caving in to New York politicians has consequences.....”

If customers wanted a loan, they asked whether or not they owned a gun as part of the application (or interview)?
