The move will bring 30 jobs to Baton Rouge, adding about $7 million in payroll to Baton Rouge. That's an average of more than $200,000, y'all. They're moving jobs for wealthy folks to Baton Rouge.

"As the governor came in, it became an easy decision."
Would that be the ethics session? Or the fact that Governor PBJ's wife Supriya used to work for Albemarle? Or the fact that Governor PBJ repaid Albemarle for their generous campaign contributions - Albemarle Corporation donated $5,000 to Governor PBJ's '07 campaign, Albemarle CEO Mark Rohr donated $1,000 to Governor PBJ's failed campaign against Blanco in 2003 - with the $4.2 million in relocation incentives? Or was it the nice tax breaks that Jindal secured for businesses here in Louisiana back during the 2nd special session that made them want to come here?
