I think that much of the anti-Vittur sentiment is anti-DC subliminal. Also people in North Louisiana are tired of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish snobery.
“Also people in North Louisiana are tired of New Orleans and Jefferson Parish snobbery.”
Oddly, people in North Louisiana are not all that tired of Orleans and Jeffesrson snobbery when they count the shared sales tax, income tax, and property tax revenue that they receive from the New Orleans Area.
Maybe it is time to divide the state in two, with Orleans, Jefferson, St. Tammany and Plaquemines in one state called “Nola” and the rest of the state called “May as well be East Monroe.”
