ANGELLE: "I'M PUTTING PLANNED PARENTHOOD ON NOTICE"




ANGELLE: "I'M PUTTING PLANNED PARENTHOOD ON NOTICE"
Today, Scott Angelle released the following statement on Planned Parenthood following the release of a fifth video by the Center for Medical Progress: 
"The latest video showing Planned Parenthood Gulf Coast employees discussing the harvesting and sale of unborn children’s body parts is egregious and despicable. This is the same Planned Parenthood affiliate building a new facility in New Orleans.
Today, I'm putting them on notice, when I'm elected governor, Planned Parenthood will receive no contracts from the state of Louisiana."

Scott Angelle comes to the rescue



Scott Angelle comes to the rescue 



While Friday’s gubernatorial forum at the Cajundome was fairly exciting, for Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, it paled in comparison to the ride home.

His opponents headed off to the campaign trail after the Louisiana Municipal Association forum. But, Angelle ended up jumping up on the running board of an out-of-control pickup, stopping it before the vehicle crashed, then accompanied the unconscious driver to the hospital.

BP has reached an agreement with U.S. authorities on an $18.7 billion settlement in the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell said Louisiana's share of that amount will be $6.8 blllion -- $5 billion for natural resource damages. $1 billion for state economic losses plus about $800 million in Clean Water Act penalties.

The settlement will be paid over next 16 years, Caldwell said.

Caldwell said going to trial would have meant years of litigation and appeals. The settlement allows more immediate action.

“How do we get to a point where our state Legislature thinks the only way to save higher education and health care is to raise a billion dollars in taxes?” Heck asks in a press release. “We got to this point because we lost sight of our conservative values, like lower taxes and less government.”

Striking Distance: Angelle At 18%





Striking Distance: Angelle At 18%

New independent poll indicates the race for governor has tightened up

http://www.geauxangelle.com/striking-distance-angelle-at-18/

Kennedy’s poll reported Vitter, a Republican from Metairie, solidly out front with 32 percent. Edwards, of Amite and the only Democrat in the race, maintained a healthy showing in second with 21 percent, but Public Service Commissioner Scott Angelle, a Republican from Breaux Bridge, shook off his lackluster showing in recent polls to rise to just three points behind Edwards with 18 percent. Meanwhile, support for Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, a Republican from Baton Rouge, is in the low teens.
