Walter’s Story-

 

A successful and self-made businessman, generous civic leader, pine tree farmer, cattle
rancher and avid sportsman.  Walter Boasso has matched his success with his 
commitment to public service.  He was recently recognized as the 2006 Legislator of the 
Year by the Alliance for Good Government, an honor he also was awarded in 2004 after his first year in office.

 

A graduate of the University of New Orleans and Chalmette High School, Boasso has served for over 20 years as CEO and President of Boasso America Corporation, an international network of tank container facilities that provides tank cleaning, repair, transfer, and transportation of bulk liquid materials.  Walter began his company with a defined vision, driving passion and determination, soap and a brush and will to do what others would not attempt.  The company now employs over 500 workers at its facilities located in Louisiana, South Carolina, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, and Florida.  A lifelong resident of St. Bernard Parish, Walter was elected to the Louisiana State Senate in 2003. 

 

Boasso’s successes in government service and business have been broadly recognized and respected via the following awards: C. Alvin Bertel Award, Iberville Award, 

Louisiana’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame, Raoul A. “Bud’ Colomb Citizen of the Year, Common Cause Award for Exceptional Service in the Aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Legislative Champion Award from GNO Inc., Homer L.  Hitt Distinguished Alumnus of the Year 2006, American Red Cross’ Claire Barton Award.

 

In the Senate, Boasso championed the cause to reform the state inefficient Levee Board System, by authoring legislation that resulted in strengthen the organizational structure of the Levee Boards  and enhancing accountability and stewardship  in their operations. Boasso has always demonstrated the value of supporting an efficient government.  He introduced legislation that attempted to prohibit elected officials from receiving campaign contributions from entities doing business with any state retirement system.  In order to reduce state spending, Boasso also led the effort to overhaul the state’s retirement systems without affecting employee’s benefits.  A strong proponent of Louisiana’s shipping industry, Walter has been instrumental in crafting major legislation designed to increase commerce on our state’s waterways, including projects designed to increase opportunities for our agricultural products.  In 2005, his initiative created the Louisiana Waterways Infrastructure and Departmental Fund and Bank.  The sole purpose of this project is to enhance the efficiency of the transportation of products, personnel, and cargo within our intrastate, interstate, and international commerce systems.

 

Walter’s exceptional business experiences, his commitment to community and public service, and his untiring will to fight for the hard working people of our state, uniquely qualifies him as the candidate who has  a resume that is far superior to everyone else.
