Is Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards ready to be a hero? Is he willing and ready to take the reins, be a leader, pull a “Nixon goes to China” and get the Louisiana budget on a secure and stable process? These are the basic thrusts of the comments articulated by Rob Maness earlier this morning as he discussed with me, the Louisiana legislative session via Facebook and Twitter Live. Maness, a retired United States Air Force colonel and candidate for US Senate and for the Louisiana House of Representatives, is a strong conservative with Tea Party credentials and support with a large online media following.
