EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is the second in a two-part opinion series about the Jindal administration and northwest Louisiana.
Of the Jindal administration, Smith said, “They know that we command a presence of economic growth and development and with the Haynesville Shale, Global Strike Command, the Cyber Innovation Center, and with our schools and on and on – that we are approaching being the economic engine of the state. They also like the way we work together. They recognize that, they’ve been up here, they have visited with us.” Be first to comment this article | Views: 497 |
