Louisiana  is ranked last–again–in a report which cites an atmosphere of surging violent crime, poisonous industrial pollution and in  series of studies  listing Louisiana as the worst  or among  the  worst  states in key quality of life areas. This information is included in a  report by the U.S. News and World Report  for 2023.  The report also ranked Louisiana in the following categories:  crime/corrections , 50; economy, 50;

education, 46′ fiscal stability, 38; healthcare, 45; infrastructure,49; natural environment, 49; and opportunity, 48.  And the list goes on and  on.  

I blame the VOTERS  of  Louisiana for  casting a vote for some incompetent people holding  public office and are responsible  for LOUISIANA BEING  LISTED AS WORST OF THE WORST  in the United States.  I admit  there are some extremely good public servants in Louisiana.  However, they are  outnumbered  by people who just remain for years  with   unproductive results.   One group wants a pay raise for their unproductive work.  Wishful thinking.  Elections are near and  Louisiana should  vote for and elect  educated, dedicated and competent  people who are  capable of moving Louisiana out the listing of the WORST OF THE WORST.  After they have proven themselves, THEN DISCUSS A PAY RAISE.   

The voters of Louisiana should demand  honesty, integrity and TERM LIMITS  for most elected office  holders.  This can be achieved.   BUT, WE MUST TAKE TIME OUT TO VOTE !!
