Edwards, last I heard, was in jail...

Thanks.. I am going to research this on Tuesday... my first free day... what people do not seem to grasp is that Tax dollars are not "government" dollars.. they are owned by the taxpayers... we are the government...

With all the waste.. it is a shame that people do not step up to the pulpit and make a difference...

More later...

I just finished reading the whole article. The LA corruption is even worse than I thought....literaly a bed of thieves.

I think that most people who have never really been exposed to Louisiana, or have only been through in passing (the same ones who think New Orleans = French Quarter), don't realize just how bad it is.

You don't have to look far either - just look at some of the projects that Senator Mary Landrieu has managed to push through Congress, or tried, as well as examine her family going back a few generations.

That's just one example. I've never cared for Louisiana, either when I lived there for a while when I was growing up, or when I was driving through to Alabama or Florida as an adult. The politicians, the cops, etc.
