Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney surprised the political pundits last week when he outpace the Republican presidential field in money raising, putting together $23 million. His Louisiana campaign manager, New Orleans businessman Scott Sewell, was by the station this week to hype the Romney campaign.

World class marathoner Bill Rogers was a guest on my show today. As an old “has been” athlete, I have followed Bill’s career for many years. He won the Boston Marathon four times, and still is running hard at 59. All of us should get out, particularly during this time of year with great weather, and exercise more.

It looks like the courts are finally putting the squeeze on a number of insurance companies who have failed to meet their contracts. Insurance companies are facing legal challenges over whether wind coverage operates in tandem with flood coverage. And there could be as much as 14 billion dollars at stake. On my show this week were Belle Chase lawyers Charles Balley and Andrian Colon, who represent a number of homeowners on this important issue. There are pictured with me here.

The New Orleans Museum of Art is having a world class exhibit from a cross section of French museums on paintings of women by world class French artists. Museum Director John Bullard was a guest on my show last Friday to talk abut this really outstanding event. John used to appear on y Cox TV show, an has done a marvelous job of making the Museum one of the finest in the country. This exhibit is a must see for you and your family.

I spent an enlightening hour with Jefferson Parish Sheriff Harry Lee who was a guest on my show last week. The Sheriff and I have been friends for over 35 years when we served in the Louisiana National Guard together. People have different views on the Sheriff. But you cannot argue with his results. Crime continues to drop in Jefferson. Harry will be a regular guest on Jim Brown in the Morning.
