Louisiana Voice

Well, I don’t have any silver or gold decals to hand out nor can I offer any leniency if you’re pulled over for speeding in Louisiana.

But if you could find it in your heart to contribute to LouisianaVoice, I can promise you to keep investigating corruption, malfeasance, and unethical behavior on the part of Louisiana’s elected and appointive officials—just as I have done for the past eight years.

As I wrote on Monday, I do this with no compensation from anyone. I don’t accept advertising (with the exception of Cavalier House Books because John Cavalier initially set up this blog page for me (plus pop-up ads over which I have no control and for which I receive nothing). Nor do I charge a subscription fee. I want LouisianaVoice to be available to anyone who wishes to read it.

I love Louisiana but I detest Louisiana politics. I really don’t care if my subject is Democrat of Republican; if he’d doing wrong, it’s wrong. My grandfather used to tell me, “If it ain’t altogether right, then it’s altogether wrong.” He saw things in black and white, not shades of gray. Unfortunately many of our officials don’t share that philosophy.

There’s only one way to keep our officials honest: the good, old-fashioned way.

I do have have expenses involved in chasing down public records, court costs, gasoline, vehicle upkeep, etc. It is because of this that I humbly ask that readers who appreciate what I do help keep the stories coming with whatever contribution they feel they can afford.
