More public funds going to pimp rides

A Harley Davidson edition F-250 isn’t really a “pimped” ride as
this article states, but the almost $40,000 truck is a bit much for a Baton Rouge Insurance Commissioner. We’re a tad
shocked that someone can request things like body molding, roof lights and camper package for their “work”
transportation. And that’s probably why there is a news story about it. Although, we do object with the article calling
it a luxury vehicle, since it surely is not. Interestingly enough, only four state employees actually bought vehicles
using public funds. The rest take a car allowance. Maybe Louisiana should just let this one go and consider themselves
lucky.
