In case anyone wants to add that to the drawing board

Good stuff here www.nola.com/news/politic...

As I said before - people of all political stripes voted down the amendments put on the March ballot. The idea that this was some sort of ideological battle is not right; this was fundamentally an election about trust, which brought people together across ideological lines

Same for Social Security, same for Medicaid, etc., etc.

Anyway, thinking of writing a book; "How to Win Enemies, Alienate Friends, and Hoist With Your Own Petard"

And not trying to be glib. I think a lot of the current political conflict going on in Louisiana - and the reason this campaign was so acrimonious - is that Landry and his circle have made very clear whose opinions are and are not valued, who's allowed at the table to negotiate

The Edwin Edwards Coalition is Back and Better Than Ever

Anyway, now that we have put this behind us, let’s do something about the insurance crisis and give Louisiana teachers and school staff an actual (and long overdue) pay raise

The amendments did get a majority of voters’ support in some parishes - but it is undeniable that these amendments were rejected by all sorts of people, of all races, colors, and creeds, and despite what the Governor and other supporters say, it’s not because we were duped

But, if they’re interested - I firmly believe that elections should be decided by the people, not billionaires and corporate interests, and would welcome their support in fixing campaign finance in Louisiana
