Yep, it you want ice cream and cookies on how the proposed $60 million—or is it $70 million—Caddo sports complex that will be on the November ballot then go to other media sources, like Erin on Keel, Liz on SB Advocate, or the local tv stations to read about how this proposition will:
1. keep young people here
2. bring young people back here
3. not cost the Parish a nickel
4. will bring more economic development and prosperity than the Port, BRF, SLB, Amazon Fulfillment Center, the three Amazon data centers, and the new Fannin street state office building COMBINED
5. revitalize the inner city and MLK
6. stop Shreveport’s population loss
7. bring millions of visitors to Shreveport EACH year
8. bring more rain and temperature temps.
9. lower crime.
What else?

NO, Settle Talk has NOT taken a position on the sports complex, but Settle Talk will ask the hard questions, which so far outnumber the PR poop put out by the Parish.
