brazen
fusion
unsavory
smite
opaque / transparent
lucrative
perks / perquisites
tier
CEO
meta
disclosure
conflict of interest
indulgences
cadge
penchant

Problems facing the state today, says the gov:
"the scope of Louisiana’s challenge: a poorly educated work force, bad roads and infrastructure, a persistent stream of residents leaving the state, and little business investment."
