==The suit against Boeing and Margaret Lowenthal==
==The suit against Boeing and Margaret Lowenthal==
On October 15, 1985, state Representative Margaret Lowenthal, an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for the since disbanded 7th congressional district seat in the [[United States House of Representatives]], addressed theOptimist Club in [[Lake Charles]] at its regular luncheon meeting. Lowenthal claimed that she had been told by an unidentified representative of [[Boeing]] that the firm had considered locating a manufacturing facility in Louisiana, but ultimately chose [[Mississippi]] because of Louisiana's unstable political climate and its longstanding problems with public education. Lowenthal said that she was told further by the Boeing representative that, "'As long as you have a man named Victor Bussie sitting in Baton Rouge, calling the shots for labor, we don't need to be in your state.'" Her remarks were telecast over Lake Charles television.<ref name=bussiesues>{{cite web|url=http://www.leagle.com/decision/1988913535So2d378_1888/BUSSIE%20v.%20LOWENTHAL|title=Bussie v.
