December 17th, 2006

The Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) is the lifeline in Louisiana for thousands of Katrina and Rita victims, as the slow recovery continues throughout South Louisiana. Sean Reilly who is an LRA board member and President of Lamar Advertising, was my guest on Tuesday of this week, and fielded numerous calls from concerned citizens. There was a lot of frustration that was vented, but Reilly gave continuing assurances that the logistics of the recovery, including more efficient operation of the Road Home program, was in the works. He told my listeners that the company that is working for Road Home will be grilled at length later this week.

Should the state fund a new German steel plant that will produce supposedly 3000 jobs? The state subsidy will be $300,000 a job. Many callers wondered if the same money could be spent on existing business. I’m wondering to, and will continue to talk about it. Join me all this week for more on the special session of the Legislature in Baton Rouge.
