Glover win was unexpected

The only thing that made me nervous about Hightower was the construction of an expensive hotel on the heels of the contruction of an expensive convention center.

Jones said in his campaign that Shreveport is $1B in debt. If true, those facilities alone might account for as much as 10% of that debt as I recall. I might be wrong but the hotel was $60M alone if I recall. I hope it brings in big money into our economy to make it worthwhile. One driveby shooting on the front steps, and it could be all over..... (happened to the old convention center right?)
