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. -

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. -
