Well the problem is one city is moving ahead while the other has squandered being the leading city in the South. Instead it focused its energy on being an entertainment center. Any competition between the cities is long over. New Orleans decided to invest its energy in other areas than to attract investment and growth a long time ago.

Now I do love visiting that quaint place with great cuisine and wonderful cultural events, but it is not the place to do business.

Yes there are many good hard working people in New Orleans, they are my friends. However, the generalities written about in Mr. Ball's piece are real and show quite readily to others outside of New Orleans, like it or not it is the truth.

My wife and I are tired of New Orleans' ineptitude and now selling all property owned there (in Uptown) and getting our money out of that place. It is just not working for us.

I grew up visiting New Orleans often. My parents had some friends there. However, when I became an adult and entered the business workplace I began to see something different. To a per everyone I met, via work, from New Orleans had the a very arrogant air about them as if everyone else was a dumb hick who wasn't from there. They all had the "seen more and done better" opinion about everything and you did not even have to ask about it.

Sorry New Orleanians, this is no secret to ANYONE who is not from New Orleans.

It is my understanding, from a teacher in EBP, that the administration is keeping a large chunk of the statewide pay raise.

Also, there are more administrators and service personnel on the payroll than there are teachers. This is a far cry from my days in school in the 60's and early 70's.

I am voting no!
