Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne was in Natchitoches Thursday to address media and residents about the June 28 opening of the La. Sports Hall of Fame. He and his entourage were traveling in the tourism van above. As he held a “Travel Means Job” sign, Dardenne was on a mission to promote tourism for National Tourism week. He said he will spend more time in Natchitoches, especially for the grand opening of the museum. He believes the museum will bring more tourists to the City of Natchitoches. “Twenty-six million people visited Louisiana last year and spent $10 billion dollars which translates to $665 million in tax revenue to the state. As a result, 8,000 new jobs in the hospitality business have been created. Those significant dollars are being generated in the hospitality industry in Louisiana everyday.”

It’s like, I say something to you and it goes in one ear and out the other. Listen more, talk less. Do you hear me Angela Rachel?” It was proven that I had a listening problem once again because when she acknowledged me, I answered, “Ma’am?”
