re: Dan Mullen contract extension.

That's ridiculous.

Most sales contracts in Louisiana have a ten-year limit, which makes sense because the prescription period (statute of limitations) for contractual breaches is ten years as well.

Don't know what the right length should be but 10 is too long. I have been retired for a while now but each agency interpreted the laws differently. I worked in one where these laws were interpreted pretty strictly. Look at MDOC and problems they are having with no-bid contracts, the former commissioner going to the federal pen, etc.
I don't have a problem at all with employment agreements being limited to 4 years, though.
