ACTION ALERT Contact the House Ways and Means Committee to Avoid Elimination of Waivers and Other Programs
ACTION ALERT Contact the House Ways and Means Committee to Avoid Elimination of Waivers and Other Programs The legislature is expected to meet in Special Session beginning on February 14, 2016 to address the budget shortfall for this fiscal year and next. On January 27th the Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH) announced that $131 million in cuts would be implemented if the Legislature failed to find additional revenues to address this year's anticipated shortfall. Two options to address the budget shortfall were included in the press release, one of which eliminates: All waiver services for people with developmental disabilities impacting 11,678 current recipients (NOW, Children's Choice, Supports Waiver, ROW) All waiver services for seniors and people with adult-onset disabilities impacting 6,481 current recipients (Community Choices and Adult Day Health Care) Medicaid Long Term Personal Care Services impacting 17,300 current recipients Intermediate Care Facilities for People with Developmental Disabilities impacting 4,914 current residents Other optional Medicaid programs such as Hospice, Hemodialysis, Pediatric Day Health Care, and the "medically necessary override" provision to the adult pharmacy prescription limit. Both options include a reduction in the payments to Bayou Health insurers. All state revenue matters are heard in the House Ways and Means Committee. If these DHH services are important to you, now is the time to let committee members know. And if you have not already done so, contact your state representative and senator as well.

Representatives Honor Roll 12
Table of Contents Comments 3-4 Syllabus 5 Legislation That Mattered 6-7 Senate Honor Roll 8-9 Senate Report Card 10-11 Representatives Honor Roll 12 Representatives Report Card 13-17 Dear Supporters, The 2017 Louisiana Legislative Session was a victory for higher education in our state. Our leaders made many difficult choices to ensure that students remained a priority. Higher education did not take a cut in funding and remained stable, and most importantly, the TOPS floor was reset and fully funded. This session has restored my hope and trust in our leaders. They have proven themselves as friends to students, and for that we are grateful. However, the last decade has not been so friendly to higher education. According to the State Higher Education Executive Officers’ annual report, Louisiana has led the country in percent reduction of public funding per FTE at -33.1%, from 2011-2016. Last year culminated with cuts to TOPS, to the alarm of students and the public. Years of budget cuts directly affected our institutional quality and transferred costs to students; this cut to TOPS was a direct cut to our students and was devastating for many. Our lawmakers went back on their promise to Louisiana’s best students to provide them with an invaluable postsecondary educational experience. In 2015, after eight years of constant cuts and budget reductions, LSU Student Government decided to launch this annual Higher Education Report Card to hold legislators accountable to us, the students. The mission of the Report Card remains clear: to hold our leaders accountable for higher education policy in the most objective way possible. -

2016 Lilly Report of Political Financial Support
16 2016 Lilly Report of Political Financial Support 1 16 2016 Lilly Report of Political Financial Support Lilly employees are dedicated to innovation and the discovery of medicines to help people live longer, healthier and more active lives, and more importantly, doing their work with integrity. LillyPAC was established to work to ensure that this vision is also shared by lawmakers, who make policy decisions that impact our company and the patients we serve. In a new political environment where policies can change with a “tweet,” we must be even more vigilant about supporting those who believe in our story, and our PAC is an effective way to support those who share our views. We also want to ensure that you know the story of LillyPAC. Transparency is an important element of our integrity promise, and so we are pleased to share this 2016 LillyPAC annual report with you. LillyPAC raised $949,267 through the generous, voluntary contributions of 3,682 Lilly employees in 2016. Those contributions allowed LillyPAC to invest in 187 federal candidates and more than 500 state candidates who understand the importance of what we do. You will find a full financial accounting in the following pages, as well as complete lists of candidates and political committees that received LillyPAC support and the permissible corporate contributions made by the company. In addition, this report is a helpful guide to understanding how our PAC operates and makes its contribution decisions. On behalf of the LillyPAC Governing Board, I want to thank everyone who has made the decision to support this vital program. -
Weekly Legislative Digest
Louisiana Federation of Teachers Weekly Legislative Digest May 1, 2015 Steve Monaghan, President * Les Landon, Editor 2015 Regular Legislative Session Now available on the Web at http://la.aft.org Panel votes to silence public employees Despite the best arguments of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants, the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee approved a bill that will make it inconvenient for employees to join and maintain membership in the union or association of their choice. The purpose of HB 418 by Rep. Stuart Bishop (R-Lafayette) is to weaken unions like the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and Louisiana Association of Educators. These are the groups that have raised questions about, and led the opposition to, so-called “reforms” backed by big business that all too often result in the privatization of education and diminution of the teaching profession. HB 418 would revoke the right of public employees to pay their union or association dues through payroll deduction. Since local governments currently have the authority to grant payroll deduction, the bill is seen by school boards and others as legislative meddling in their prerogatives. The bill is the brainchild of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, which has been twisting the arms of lawmakers to force its passage. The big business lobby recruited the Koch brothers backed Americans for Prosperity to publicly promote the bill. It is an example of what columnist Stephanie Grace, in another context, called “an ugly yet ascendant strain in American politics, a willingness to use any means necessary, no matter what chaos ensues or who gets hurt.” The vitriol motivating the bill’s supporters was on full display when an amendment was proposed to exempt the teacher unions from its prohibitions. -
