There is a good reason Caddo Commissioner Steven Jackson is having a fundraiser in the Big Easy tomorrow, Wed. -- it’s called money.
A review of Jackson's last campaign financial statement reflects big bucks from out-of-town business people, who no doubt get big bucks from the Louisiana Housing Commission grants.
Jackson just happens to be a board member of the commission.
Here is a list for those interested:
-MGM of Monroe $2500
-Olsen Group of New Orleans $2500
-Chip Peters of Corinth, Miss. $2500
-Andrea Stant of Mandeville $2500
-Christ Stant of Mandeville $2500
-AK Long of New Orleans $1250
-Butler Snow of Ridgeland MS $1000
-HR COMM of New Orleans $2500
-W.M. Little of West Monroe $2500
The old political axiom of "follow the money" no doubt applies to Jackson.
