Paul Murphy from WWL-TV did a piece last night on the JP Hospital lease deal. I have contended that the people of Jefferson Parish don't want to decide which of the 3 groups gets to lease the hospital but that the people of JP deserve the right to vote on whether there is a lease at all. We've not heard all of the available options - just the one option that Sheriff Normand thinks is best. In addition, I think it is morally wrong that Sheriff Normand and the JP Council had their friends in Baton Rouge change a 20-year-old law to take away your rights.
Paul did an interview with me about the hospital deal.
If you missed it, here's the report (there are more comments in the text than the video):

Also, on Monday, I was a guest on "The Ken & Bernie Show" with Ken Romero and Bernadette Lee on KPEL 96.5fm in Acadiana. We talked about KCP, Senator Elbert Guillory's party switch, the state budget and the "I'm A Cajun" license stamp. Here's a link to that interview:
