In Lake Charles, Louisiana, L'Auberge Casino, the large
casino sitting on public public land owned and paid for by
the taxpayers, had to delay its scheduled opening, for it
could not find enough employees without prior criminal
records to staff it. There are so many men and women with
felony convictions in Louisiana, that a felony has pretty
much lost its stigma. Every time the Louisiana
legislature meets, it passes hundreds, and in many cases
upwards of a thousand, if not more, new laws, including
new criminal laws. Louisiana is a virtual police state,
having Louisiana State Policie, parish (county) sheriff's
police, city police, city marshal police, university
police, college police, port police, airport police,
Sabine River Authority police, not to mention all the
hordes of Federal police, including the railroad police.
And all of these police feel that they have to justify
their pay, so they arrest almost anybody for almost
anything, so much so that in Calcasieu Parish (county)
there are upwards of 20,000, if not more, pending felony
and capital charges. There is more to it all than this,
but this is something to think about.

I say that the State of Louisiana has the highest per-
capita felony conviction rate in America. No wonder major
corporations do not want to open up new offices and
factories and do business in Louisiana. Do you agree with
me? Or do you disagree with me?

When I am elected governor, I am going to straighten this
horrible situation out.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, Atty.
Ronald Reagan Democratic Candidate for Governor of
Louisiana - 2007: the Arnie Schwarznegger-Kinky Friedman
Candidate for governor--taking the Nation back for the
Taxpayers and reforming the legal and judicial systems,
one state at a time.
