Marshawn Lynch will not be at the Pro Bowl and that opened the door for New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram. We are happy but just wondered if Mark Ingram is our number one back. What do you think?

We had two questions for you this past week. One dealt with falling crude prices effects on local jobs. The other was about the Louisiana State Police 20% raise for troopers.

State representatives and senators voted to give Louisiana State Troopers a 20% raise. Starting pay for troopers will go from $35,000 to $42,000 per year. We wondered what you thought about this raise.

Places like Lake Charles, Lafayette and Baton Rouge are heavily tied to the oil industry in the gulf. Lake Charles has diversified with casinos and natural gas; but the oil industry is still a huge economic powerhouse here. Do you think the low oil prices will cost us jobs in Southwest Louisiana?

The allegations are all very similar. They all accuse Bill Cosby of drugging them and then sexually assaulting them. Is is all coincidence? He is scheduled to appear in Lafayette on February 27th. We are interested in how you feel about this.

The City of New Orleans is looking at banning smoking in all public places. We wondered if a Lake Charles smoking ban would be next and how you feel about it.

Industrial expansion is the big subject in Lake Charles. We have a new casino with over 2000 employees. I've heard that we are looking at 10,000 new people moving into our area. This would seem to indicate better economic times. Have you seen a personal bonus from all of this economic growth? Take our poll.

Every time Michigan fires it's head Football Coach these rumors pop up. It's great for Les Miles because it results in a new and fatter contract for him at LSU. Will it happen again.

Only the Atlanta Falcons have given up more yards per game than the New Orleans Saints this year. The worst part is that the defense seems to fold at the end of games. Will Sean Peyton go on like this?
