But do the governor and Legislature have the courage to fix our state pension system?
As I enter my last term as a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives, I still cling to the belief that one person can make a difference.

It’s time for everyone to believe what others are saying about us: Acadiana is one of the best regions in the country to live and do business.
As residents of Acadiana, we are familiar with the quality of life and cultural endeavors that frequently receive praise and high marks from visitors, but it should come as no surprise that Lafayette also receives high marks when it comes to our economic prosperity. You and I can say Acadiana is one of the best places in the world, but it always means more when someone else says it. That’s why I always begin any presentation I give with a bit of good news from regional and national sources.

Could Cuba become the next new market for Lafayette deepwater technology? By Cherry Fisher May
With the first-ever Russian delegation in attendance, this year’s LAGCOE guest roster will have a uniquely impressive international flavor. That’s due in large part to the hard work of the LAGCOE board but also because top execs at some global companies, including Russia’s TNK-BP, spent part of their careers here. They know the value of LAGCOE and want their decision-making engineers to be at the show. Is it possible that a Cuban delegation could be part of the mix at the next one, two years hence?
