There’s the looming city of St. George incorporation vote, there are the statewide elections, the governor’s contest should be riveting, and the insurance commissioner’s race between Tim Temple and incumbent Jim Donelon is intriguing.
There’s also Business Report Executive Editor J.R. Ball’s personal hell of having to decide between Pat Smith or Cleo Fields to “represent his interests” in the state Senate. None of these inspired Ball enough for a column, we’ve heard too much about the politics and there’s not much to say about St. George until the vote goes through.
These reasons are why, Ball writes, he decided to come back to a familiar discussion for Business Report, after a news story caught his eye: BREC golf.
According to a recent article from The Advocate, the East Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce is asking BREC to reconsider its plans to close the 18-hole golf course at Dumas Memorial near Greenwood Park.
However, there is no decent reason for BREC to keep Dumas open, and the chamber’s request is ridiculous, Ball writes. Read his full column, which Ball explains why. Send comments to editor@Businessreport.com.
