Campbell said ...

Here are some of the things guberbatorial candidate Foster Campbell had to say when he visited with the Editorial Board this week.

• I've been real vocal on issues and haven't tap danced around.


• We've got way too many hired lobbyists. We need to get the lobbyists off the Floor in the House.


• We need to limit the number of bills introduced in the Legislature. We've got so many trivial bills that people spend too much time on. A lot of them can be handled on a local level.


• Nobody, no matter how smart they are, can read 100 bills in one afternoon.


• I want to get rid of state and corporate income tax.


• Ethics is not going to cure the economic problems in Louisiana.


• In six years, Texas is going to have gaming. We need to prepare ourselves by looking down the road.


• A lot of things have been done in the Legislature that haven't been the right thing to do.


• I'm for opening up schools in the summer. I'm not for doing away with accountability. I'm a big proponent for technical schools.


• Give LSUS a Ph.D. program.
