Hi I'm a senior in highschool right now, but I'm just curious on why the government in louisiana is so corrupt and why nothing is being done about it? I've heard multiple cases of state officials being caught taking tax payer dollars for themselves. Also I'm curious on why the governor is so focused on passing laws to ban phones in school, ban abortion, and laws to require the 10 commandments in every classroom while our streets have crazy amount of pot holes, the drug epidemic(especially for teens)is insane, and homelessness is out of hand. Even though I'm only 17 I've lost too many people my age to drugs and gun violence. In EBR where I live they keep building nice things I guess trying to cover up the bad in our parish?? Because jackshit is being done to help our youth and young adults but hey we got a bunch of new places to eat!! I really don't understand this and it makes me so frustrated. I mean even myself, I grew up in an abusive and alcholic household, I told school counselors, church memebers, police, hospital staff, and even CPS workers but nothing was done to help my situation. This shouldn't be happening and this isn't ok. We need resources for our youth to go to. Thankfully I have learned to adapt and am doing much better now, but it really breaks my heart seeing people my age or younger/older going through similar situations and not being able to do anything. EDIT: yall I know this isn't new pls stop replying and saying it's not new. I'm just curious on why no efforts have been made to change this?
