In a letter today, Vitter urges Landrieu to establish a new State Police Troop in New Orleans paid for by local revenue and tourism industry pledges along with a much larger role for the State Police in training NOPD. Vitter also urges Landrieu to “focus on murders, not monuments.”
(Metairie, La.) – David Vitter today sent a letter to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu stating the murder rate is primarily the responsibility of local leadership, not the federal government. The letter is in response to Mayor Landrieu’s recent comments in the press criticizing Vitter, saying he hasn’t delivered enough federal resources to local law enforcement agencies to fight crime.
In his letter, Vitter recommended that Mayor Landrieu actively push his proposal to establish a new State Police Troop in New Orleans paid for by local revenue and tourism industry pledges, along with a much larger role for the State Police in training NOPD. Vitter also urges Landrieu to “focus on murders, not monuments.”
A copy of Vitter’s letter from today is below.
“August 12, 2015
The Honorable Mitch J. Landrieu
1300 Perdido Street
New Orleans, LA 70112
Dear Mitch:
I was disappointed with your recent attacks against me in response to my comments to the State Troopers Association on the New Orleans murder epidemic.
New Orleans’ horrendous murder rate is not, primarily, the federal government’s responsibility; it’s yours. Still, the federal taxpayer has given New Orleans more aid per capita in the last ten years than to any other city in history because of Katrina, including major and unprecedented law enforcement funding.
I have two strong suggestions regarding the New Orleans murder crisis:
1) Please actively push my and others’ proposal to not just continue a State Police presence in New Orleans, but to establish a whole new State Police Troop there paid for by local revenue and tourism industry pledges, and a much larger role for the State Police in training NOPD.
2) For goodness sake, focus on murders, not monuments.
Sincerely,
David Vitter”
Vitter Campaign Refute Recent Polling Numbers
In an email over the past weekend, David Vitter's campaign refuted recent polling numbers released by Verne Kennedy regarding the pending Governor's race here in Louisiana. In that poll, Kennedy asserts that Vitter's lead in the race has been shrinking.
Three points were made in the email and they are as follows:
“1) Verne Kennedy’s polls are from a different planet.
In our last race, Kennedy had a guy named Chet Traylor almost even with David in the GOP primary at 46-34 percent. David beat him by 80 points: 88 – 7!!! Kennedy’s poll was wrong by more than 40 points.
In Rep. Cedric Richmond’s (D-New Orleans) most recent competitive race, Verne Kennedy had Rep. Joseph Cao (R-New Orleans) beating him 51-26 in the 2nd Congressional District. Richmond won 65-33. Kennedy was wrong again by 40 points.
In the 2010 New Orleans Mayor’s race, Verne Kennedy had Mitch Landrieu vulnerable, only getting 37 percent. Landrieu ended up beating his opponents with 66 percent. Kennedy was off by more than 30 points in this race.
2) Verne Kennedy has polled our gubernatorial race three times – May, June and July. In between the May and June poll, Scott Angelle spent more than a half million dollars on TV commercials. According to Kennedy’s polling, from May to June, Scott Angelle dropped 3 points during this period, from 18% to 15%. Between Verne’s June and July survey, Angelle only spent a fraction of what he previously spent, yet his numbers magically increased by a whopping 10 points, from 15% to 25%. Confused? We are too.
3) Two independent polls came out at the same time showing David Vitter ahead of the two other Republicans in the race by 20 points or more. Those two polls not only track with our numbers, they are consistent with all other public polling.”
Needless say, there are two more months left in this race, so things are really going to start heating up.

Vitter Sets Record Straight: Disney-ABC Do NOT Have Moratorium on Film and Television Projects in Louisiana
(Metairie, La.) – David Vitter spoke with a Vice President with Disney today who confirmed that the company has not imposed a moratorium on film and television projects in Louisiana, and they hope to produce more in the future. Vitter reached out to Disney-ABC in response to ambiguous reports alleging that the company was going to put projects on hold in Louisiana based on the state legislature’s bill to limit the film tax incentives program which Governor Bobby Jindal signed. Vitter responded to Disney with the following statement thanking them.
“Let me assure you that Louisiana will continue to have a significant film tax credit program and a welcoming environment. I plan on revisiting this issue as governor so that we have a sustainable (versus completely unlimited) program, but a very significant one that produces the maximum activity possible,” Vitter said.

In Chapter 7 of “Together, Louisiana Strong,” Vitter explains that he’ll ensure that all coastal funds like federal revenue sharing, Restore Act, and BP settlement monies are spent on coastal priorities, and are never used as one-time payments to fund other parts of state government. He’ll prioritize and greatly accelerate 3-5 key coastal restoration projects in the Coastal Master Plan and develop an aggressive, organized campaign to raise substantial private matching funds from energy and other leading businesses which would serve as lead sponsors of specific restoration projects in the Coastal Master Plan.

Jay Dardenne's Broken Reagan's "11th Commandment"
When running for Lt. Governor, Jay Dardenne quoted Reagan when saying he wouldn't speak ill of a fellow Republican.
One can only guess that this won't apply to this year's campaign for Governor. Dardenne posted the below tweet regarding a vote missed by Sen. David Vitter in DC.
Only problem is, Sen. Vitter had, what most people would feel, a legitimate excuse for missing that vote. His twin daughters were graduating high school.
With all the issues that Louisiana is facing, one would think that Dardenne would have something more constructive to debate. Let's start working on what can be fixed in this state rather than resort to this.
New Poll Reveals Vitter with 10 Point Lead in Louisiana Governor's Race
The latest MarblePort Polling done in regards to the Louisiana Governor's race shows Vitter widening his lead over his nearest competitor, John Bel Edwards, by 10%. Vitter has shown consistent support amongst Republicans in the race and leads overall by 37.6% to Bel Edwards' 27.1%. The other two Republican candidates, Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne and Public Service Commissioner, Scott Angelle, both polling at 14.9% and 5.8% respectively. The undecided vote is at 14.6%.
The report also references the "Honore' Factor", meaning a potential entrance of retired General Russel Honore'. With Honore' factored into the polling data, Vitter still maintains a substantial lead, with Honore' polling at 7.4%.
The report was done in conjunction with Scott McKay of The Hayride and his piece on the poll can be seen here.

That's why I am excited to endorse David and see that he is the first candidate for governor to release a bold plan to solve many of the critical problems facing our state.”
“I've known David since he ran for my seat in Congress, and one thing is clear - he will not be outworked," former Rep. Bob Livingston said. "David Vitter stands up for what he believes and fights to get results. I haven't seen anything as substantive and forward thinking as the plan he's been rolling out to take on the challenges at the state level. David is a no nonsense kind of guy and we need his leadership as our next Governor.”
Vitter has also been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, U.S. Reps. Charles Boustany, John Fleming, and Ralph Abraham and Louisiana Treasurer John Kennedy.

It is apparent that the games being played in DC are to the benefit of the political class, much to the grand words that are spouted to the citizens of this country.
