Oppose Constitutional Convention Q4: Repeal GPO/WEP Q5
LEGISLATORS RESPONSES TO THE LRTA SURVEY The Louisiana Retired Teachers Association surveyed political candidates during the 2019 election cycles. The Association asked the candidates the following questions: 1. LRTA opposes any legislation that would alter the defined benefit structure of the Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana (TRSL). During previous legislative sessions, several bills were created to switch the current defined benefit plan provided by TRSL to a hybrid plan. LRTA continues to oppose these bills, such as SB 14 (2018) and HB 28 (2019). If similar bills appeared in future legislative sessions, would you oppose or veto these bills? 2. LRTA supports Permanent Benefit Increases (PBIs) when the criteria to grant one is met. TRSL benefit recipients have not received a PBI since 2016. Would you support legislation to grant a PBI should TRSL meet the criteria to grant one? 3. LRTA opposes constitutional conventions that would remove budgetary protections for education and retirement. If constitutional convention is proposed in a future legislative session, would you oppose or veto these bills? 4. LRTA supports the repeal of the Government Pension Offset (GPO) and the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). The GPO and the WEP are Social Security federal provisions that reduce retired public employee’s individual Social Security and survivor benefits. Retired teachers in Louisiana are subject to the GPO and WEP. Given the opportunity, would you support the repeal of the GPO and WEP? 5. LRTA supports teacher and support staff pay raises and adequately funding education through the Minimum Foundation Program (MFP). Do you support teacher pay raises and adequately funding education through the MFP?

Louisiana State University Student Government
Louisiana State University Student Government Dear LSU Students and Friends, Students in the state of Louisiana are more relevant than ever before. Before the release of the first Higher Education Report Card, students pursuing a degree were not valued in the state of Louisiana—proven by the 41% cut to higher education over the past 8 years. Contrary to popular belief, investment in higher education is the best societal investment that our state lawmakers can make. Because of our initial report card, leaders in the legislature are listening. The Higher Education Report Card is a huge step forward in ensuring that students are heard in the state of Louisiana. The requests are clear. We want stability in higher education and a sincere commitment to invest in the future of our students. We extend our sincerest gratitude to the governor and lawmakers for their work during the longest legislative session in the history of the state. Unfortunately, a session ending in a fully funded higher education and a partially funded TOPS is not ideal for Louisiana’s students. My hope is that the Higher Education Report Card can shed light onto the difficult votes that our lawmakers made during these sessions to ensure that our education would be fully funded. At the same time, I hope students will see that some of their own lawmakers are still not valuing our education as much as they can. We also hope that students will continue to be involved with the affairs of our state capitol by participating in marches and making calls to their legislators. -

Membership in the Louisiana House of Representatives
MEMBERSHIP IN THE LOUISIANA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 1812 - 2024 Revised – July 28, 2021 David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library Louisiana House of Representatives 1 2 PREFACE This publication is a result of research largely drawn from Journals of the Louisiana House of Representatives and Annual Reports of the Louisiana Secretary of State. Other information was obtained from the book, A Look at Louisiana's First Century: 1804-1903, by Leroy Willie, and used with the author's permission. The David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library also maintains a database of House of Representatives membership from 1900 to the present at http://drplibrary.legis.la.gov . In addition to the information included in this biographical listing the database includes death dates when known, district numbers, links to resolutions honoring a representative, citations to resolutions prior to their availability on the legislative website, committee membership, and photographs. The database is an ongoing project and more information is included for recent years. Early research reveals that the term county is interchanged with parish in many sources until 1815. In 1805 the Territory of Orleans was divided into counties. By 1807 an act was passed that divided the Orleans Territory into parishes as well. The counties were not abolished by the act. Both terms were used at the same time until 1845, when a new constitution was adopted and the term "parish" was used as the official political subdivision. The legislature was elected every two years until 1880, when a sitting legislature was elected every four years thereafter. (See the chart near the end of this document.) The War of 1812 started in June of 1812 and continued until a peace treaty in December of 1814. -

Education, and Financial Stability of Every Person
KIM SPORT, Public Policy Chair The United Way of Southeast Louisiana (UWSELA) 2019 Public Policy Legislative Agenda, “United for a Safe & Prosperous Community,” continues our advocacy fighting for the health, education, and financial stability of every person. This agenda is aligned with United Way’s Blueprint for Prosperity, our plan to eradicate poverty in Southeast Louisiana, and lifts up ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed) – households who are living paycheck to paycheck, one financial emergency from falling into poverty. UWSELA’s Public Policy team worked closely with state legislators, the governor’s staff, and collaborative partners to ensure successful passage of legislation which will help create a better, stronger community for all. We’d like to wish a special thank you to Governor John Bel Edwards for his extraordinary leadership throughout the 2019 Louisiana Legislative Session. We are also grateful to Louisiana representatives and senators who served as United Way’s 2019 Legislative Champions for education, financial stability, health, and community strengthening issues during this session, including: Senators John Alario, Conrad Appel, Regina Barrow, Wesley Bishop, Troy Carter, Yvonne Colomb, Randal Gaines, Ronnie Johns, Eric LaFleur, Danny Martiny, Beth Mizell and JP Morrell; Representatives Neil Abramson, Larry Bagley, Taylor Barras, Joseph Bouie, Steve Carter, Mary DuBuisson, Royce Duplessis, Cameron Henry, Stephanie Hilferty, Walt Leger III, Joseph Marino, John Stefanski, Julie Stokes, Kirk Talbot and Malinda White. Thank you to UWSELA’s Board of Trustees, Public Policy Committee, Women United, staff, volunteers, and collaborative partners who advocated and gave public testimony during session. Information on all legislative bills can be found on the Louisiana State Legislature’s website. -
