    EXTRAORDINARY Special Sessions (Plural) May Be Needed ______

    LaPolitics Weekly — Issue 1234 — April 10, 2020 From the Desk of Jeremy Alford — [email protected] — 225-772-2518 — @LaPoliticsNow ________________________________________________ ________________________________________________ EXTRAORDINARY Special sessions (plural) may be needed ________________________________________________ If you still don’t believe the ongoing regular session is a fluid situation due to the COVID-19 emergency, then consider that members of the Appropriations and the Ways and Means committees both mothballed their respective meetings twice within a 23-hour period this week. (The committees’ April 13 meetings were canceled Wednesday and rescheduled for May 4, only to be canceled again Thursday morning.) Speculation in certain corners of Capitoland is now building for a roughly mid-May legislative return, just prior to the regular session’s June 1 adjournment. But President Page Cortez said he isn’t yet convinced that lawmakers could resurface sooner — and they better if they want any red value out of the regular session. "If we return in mid-May with a mandatory June 1 adjournment, I’m not so sure you can get something accomplished,” Corte said. A reconvening in early- or mid-May would require a laser-like focus by lawmakers on bills related to the budget, coronavirus, department re-creation and constitutional requirements. If anything else manages to pass during a condensed regular session format, it’ll be chalked up to luck or fate. Chairmen and chairwomen have been tasked with prioritizing these bills. Legislative leaders, after all, want to make sure there’s actual work to do when lawmakers are reassembled, in whatever shape that eventually takes. Of course, a full roster would not be guaranteed and attendance may resemble what we saw on the floors two weeks ago — 21 out of 39 in the Senate and 58 out of 105 in the House.

    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.
