As fans are clamoring for LSU-Auburn tickets this weekend in Tiger Stadium, the Louisiana Attorney General’s office is advising consumers searching for tickets to games or other events like concerts, beware of scams. Director of the Public Protection Division Sam Pleasant says they want buyers to think smart because they could be a potential victim and have some advice to avoid scams.

Pleasant says to use a credit card when buying tickets because it provides more protection than other payment methods if a problem arises. She says to never wire money in order to get tickets because it’s impossible to get back and to contact the A-G to learn more about ticket fraud.

Senator David Vitter, who is also running for governor, has written another letter to New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, calling on him to come up with a written action plan, which addresses the crime problem in the city. So why is Vitter continuing to harp on this issue? U-L-M Political Science Professor Joshua Stockley says this in an intentional campaign strategy on Vitter’s part to show Louisiana voters stopping violent crime is a priority.

Cut 10 (10) “as a whole”

Vitter says this is the third letter he has sent to Landrieu urging him to focus on murders not monuments. This is in reference to Landrieu’s campaign to remove confederate landmarks. Stockley says by critiquing Landrieu on this issue, Vitter is indirectly able to draw a favorable opinion from voters who think there is nothing wrong with the confederate flag and monuments.

cut 11 (08) “southern heritage”

Stockley says if Landrieu, a democrat, becomes an opponent on any level in the future, Vitter is using this stance to show his conservatism and their differing viewpoints.
