		"Kip was able to pull together a constituency that a lot of people didn't think was possible, and he has the innate ability to reach out and develop some confidence among the people that you don't normally see in a politicians, particularly a fl politician," Bankston says.
		Odds are Holden will have to manage a tight budget during a period of high expectations, quell the political backroom deals of white council members said to be angling for his job and overcome those who are waiting for him to slip so they can laugh last.
		Holden is able to cross over racial and economic lines with a sparkling personality and a big dose of ego that asserts, "I'll show you." He moves as easily through Zee Zee Gardens on Perkins Road as through his family's bar, Holden Powerhouse on Blount Road.

	Democrat Kip Holden Winner in Mayor-President Race {Baton Rouge, LA} (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Holden, a Democrat who made two unsuccessful bids for mayor-president before Tuesday's successful showing, had 94,802 votes, or 54 percent of the ballots counted, with all 300 of the parish's precincts reporting.
		Holden said Simpson was distorting his voting record in the ads, trying to unfairly paint him as an anti-business liberal.
		As far as Holden being able to accomplish much, I have serious doubts since the tax base is not there for any grand projects, and it will be difficult to attract the businesses necessary to improve the tax base without significant improvements in the public education system.

	October 2001: Louisiana State Representative Files Suit Against the Louisiana Board of Commerce and Industry
		Holden claimed in his suit that the definition under the Louisiana Constitution had already been interpreted by a case previously brought by him in 1997, which made the same tax exemption challenge regarding the granting of an exemption to a hazardous waste plant.
		In that case Holden argued that because the incinerator ash was still a hazardous substance, it was not “suitable for use” as set forth in the Section 21 Constitutional definition.
		Holden’s suit does not address the Board’s actions in light of a resolution passed in both the Louisiana House and Senate “to urge and request” the Department of Economic Development, of which the Board is a part, to develop strategies and incentives to encourage merchant power development.
