This is much better than a new prison. It's honest work doing well not only for local residents via new jobs, but cleaning up some of our environmental liabilities through re-use.
I'm not sure what process they will be using at the Vidalia plant, but the latest technology uses liquid nitrogen to freeze the tires. Afterwards they are pounded into small pieces where magnets can then easily lift the metal from the rubber bits. This process is very efficient and not nearly as environmentally damaging as burning, melting, and so forth. It allows them to sell the rubber bits to be easily processed into roads, playgrounds, door mats, etc.
PS - If the plant is looking for a bunch of old tires for free, look no further than La. 1 down near Port Fourchon. There are thousands upon thousands of tires dumped in the marshes down there.

Casinos and Lotteries are a tax on the poor and dumb (at math).
Most people who "win" a few hundred dollars are also those not smart enough to take it and never return; eventually they give it right back, and more, for many years.
It's expensive entertainment that will keep them poor and dumb.
If you started gambling at 21 years old, and spent $20 a week on lottery tickets and casino slots until the age of 71 years old, that money, invested in good mutual funds averaging 12% over that entire period would, instead of buying false hopes of get-rich-quick and entertainment, have a future value of $2,374,768.50
Sure hope y'all are having fun down on the boat..

Stay away from the credit card companies' tables when you arrive on the college campus.
It's the single smartest thing you will do the whole time you're there. Second smartest if you're also not taking on student loans through college.

It is the same all over La. Even in Lafayette the snow is bad and channels pop in and out. They are trying to push people into buying new TVs, services, upgrades, etc., etc. TV and telephone companies are out of control and behaving badly to provide such shoddy "service" at exorbitant prices.
Yay deregulation.

Acadian won't move into an area it can't get a virtual monopoly on. Baton Rouge is an exception because they get contracted for non-emergency transport services and emergency call overflow from the city.
They already looked at Concordia Parish years ago and determined there were too many competing services in the area and the service volume (potential profit) didn't warrant buying out the competing services.
They tried it over in Natchitoches, buying out a local service, and lost their butt - it was a money pit.

Prisons and their profits don't grow fast enough annually for my tastes. We need more profits and more jobs. We must lobby our legislater to make more and more stuff illegal every year.
Increase the funding to prisons! My 401K depends on it!
While we're at it, those teachers make too darn much! You see that shiny two year old Honda Civic Mrs. Jones just bought!? That boondoggle she is making should instead go to the classroom for my kids education! My kid needs ipods and laptops to learn so they won't end up in our new prison! That administrater bunch sure got a hard job making polisies and whatnot though. They need another raise so our curiculum gets better! If you want your kid to have an descent education, we must lock up everybody she might come in contact with in her formative years.
