A local announcement in Lafayette caught my eye yesterday…

Chamber Hosts Semi-Annual Breakfast Event

Business Over Breakfast will be held next Tuesday, June 21st.  Rob Guidry, President and CEO of the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce says the event will be conjuntion with UL Lafayette and the Center for American Progress. According to the Chamber they will, “ host an exploration of the new involvement in university research in support of the Gulf of Mexico economy.”

The Center for American Progress is a far left-wing group, funded by George Soros.  This group pushes for higher taxes on Americans, and even worse from a Lafayette perspective, is one of the leading national voices AGAINST the Oil & Gas Industry.

Why would ANY pro-business organization in Louisiana want to be involved in any partnership with Center for American Progress?
