Governor John Bel Edwards’ disastrous tenure as governor has had real consequences for the people of Louisiana. Edwards’ tax and spend liberalism combined with his sheer incompetence has had a painful impact on the state’s economy.

Today, CNBC released its yearly list of the best states for business. The results were not pretty for Edwards. If this served were a report card on Governor Edwards, he’d have gotten an F:

  • Overall, Louisiana ranked 44th.
  • Louisiana ranked 49th on their economy.
  • The state ranked 49th also on quality of life.
  • The Pelican State ranked 48th on education.

CNBC neatly summed up Edwards’ awful performance by saying that on “metric after metric, Louisiana finishes near the bottom.” This report serves as a clear repudiation of Governor Edwards’ leadership. Louisiana deserves better.
