Unlike her predecessors, Governors Buddy Roemer and Mike “Big Daddy” Foster, Governor Kathleen Blanco has lived up to her campaign stance on gambling.

Also, unlike the former governors, Blanco never claimed to be anti-gambling. She only said that she was opposed to more gambling expansion. See the latest on her efforts to fulfill that promise here.

Roemer and Foster both professed to be anti-gambling. Not only were they truth-challenged, but, in fact, they presided over the greatest expansion of legalized gambling in the history of LA.

Normally, merely doing what one promises is not noteworthy. In fact, it is expected. However, keeping a promise is so rare for a politician, much less a LA politician, that it is not only noteworthy, but praise worthy.

Kudos to Governor Blanco!
