Putting the Rage in Cajuns

Louisianna has a $263 million backlog of repairs it needs for government buildings.

So what does Lt Gov Mitch Landrieu (D-LA) (right) do? Spend $1 million of state money fixing up his office and apartment.

The Lt Governor now has an apartment close to his office. Lt Gov Landrieu spent $419,000 whipping it into shape and another $536,000 remodeling his office. The money went for things like a decorative glass partition in his reception area. There was also a $10,000 interior decorating fee.
