In your opinion, how important is this decision? This is one of the most important issues that our City Council has ever considered. The decision they come to will affect the way Central is governed and the cost of that government for genera- tions. We owe it to our grandchildren to come to a sound decision in this matter. Decisions like this are not easily reversed, so I am depending on this City Council to consider the impact it will have on Central not in 4 years , but in 40 years. Do you have any preference as to which election method is de- cided on or whether additional Council Seats are created? I am personally opposed to bigger government. All across our nation there are people regretting having let government grow un- controlled. People are working hard to fi nd ways to reduce govern- ment all the way to Washington, and it is diffi cult, if not impossible. Here in Central we started with small government, we privatized City Services, and have only two city employees. Central does not need to reduce the size and cost of government, because we already have small government. If the Council acts to increase the size and cost of Central’s government I will have a diffi cult time supporting that decision. As to how the City Council is elected, whether by Districts, Divisions or At-Large, I can support whatever the Coun- cil feels best serves the citizens of Central, as long as we protect the tax dollars the people have entrusted to us. Over the past few months it has become evident that the Council seems split over how this issue should be resolved. As our Mayor, what do you see as the best resolution to this matter? The Council is empowered by the Lawrason Act to make this decision. I am hopeful that the decision is based on good research and that it refl ects the will of the citizens. I would like for the Council to respond to any concerns raised by the people because I want them to know that they have been heard. Finally, I am person- ally committed to protecting the taxpayers’ dollars and to keeping Central’s government small, streamlined and effi cient. I can sup- port any decision the Council reaches which keeps government in check. However, if the City Council votes to increase the size and cost of government, that decision needs to be on a 4-1 or 5-0 vote. If it is, I will accept that the elected representatives of the citizens have spoken clearly and I will put aside my personal desire for small government and respect that decision.

  • 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.

  • August 16, 2021 Board of Elementary and Secondary Education 1201
    August 16, 2021 Board of Elementary and Secondary Education 1201 North Third Street Suite 5-190 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Dear BESE Members, We are writing on behalf of frustrated parents, grandparents, and guardians across the state regarding the most recent proclamation issued by Governor Edwards on August 2, 2021 mandating masks across the state, including in K-12 schools. The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education should consider the questions raised by parents concerning the constitutional rights of students. Louisiana Constitution Article 8, Section 3(A) provides that BESE shall supervise and control the public elementary and secondary schools and special schools under its jurisdiction. In addition, in the absence of any specific legislative intent to the contrary, BESE may, if it chooses, adopt rules governing COVID-19 safety protocols, such as temperature checks, the option of mask mandates or exceptions to mask mandates, and other protocols that BESE determines are needed. Please use this authority to act on behalf of parents and local school leaders, just as your Board agreed to do earlier in the pandemic. BESE can establish a position that gives direction to each school board based on local health risks. On behalf of parents across our districts, we stand united for BESE control and respect for parental rights in these matters. Our schools did well last year when the state provided the direction and resources required to manage their affairs. These local education leaders are ready to move forward at your direction to deliver continued success and safety for their students. Please use your Constitutional authority to protect Louisiana families and give direction to our local school boards and its parents.
