I grew up in Louisiana. I know how things work there... You're right of course. Skimming and gouging are long-held traditions. Get elected to something and it's like "hitting the big one." I grew up in Louisiana too (Houma). Where are you from?

Is the whole state like that--graft, etc.?

Lived from 59-64 in Shreveport, then moved to New Orleans, where I lived until 93. My dad was a 50s style Juvenile Deliquent in NO, but decided to get straight. My grandma still lives in Shreveport, and my sil's family lived there until this storm.
But I was born in OK...
