- I am glad to see that *someone* out there likes Louisiana! I have
- been worried about tourism since USA Today had their big two-page
- spread about our lovable (and deeply corrupted) governor, Edwin
- Edwards.
-
- USA Today even included one of Edwin's more colorful quotes: "I won't
- lose an election in Louisiana unless I am caught in bed with a
- live boy or a dead girl".
-
-
- He said it; honest! And, unfortunately, he meant it too!
-
-
- Currently, he has threatened to cut University budgets by 40% for
- next year. All the schools here in the state are running around
- trying to find ways to meet this "challenge". :-(

- p.s. ....to tie this back to the newsgroup...maybe JazzLand will be
- closer to a reality in two years. Right now, no one seems to know
- another about it's status -- although many people have heard of the
- plan to build a "jazz version of Opryland" in New Orleans.
- It is a shame that the proposed site is the swampiest swamp in all
- of Louisiana (and that MEANS SOMETHING!) :-(
