  • 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?

  • 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.

  • ELECTIONS BEGET ELECTIONS Another Special Election Coming — and Maybe Yet Another ______
    From the Desk of Jeremy Alford April 27, 2021 — Issue 268 [email protected] / www.LouisianaTracker.com _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ ELECTIONS BEGET ELECTIONS Another special election coming — and maybe yet another _____________________________________________________________ If you’re starting to think these elections are never going to end, that may be due to the fact that these elections never seem to end. President Joe Biden claimed his seat last year, which in turn prompted the resignation of former Congressman Cedric Richmond, who is now working for the White House. The special election to replace Richmond concluded this past weekend, with voters siding with Congressman-elect Troy Carter, who, as a result, will soon resign from his state Senate seat, which will require another special election. Now there are three sitting state representatives (Gary Carter of New Orleans, Mack Cormier of Belle Chasse and Rodney Lyons of Harvey) and one former state senator (David Heitmeier of Algiers) who are considering running in the special Senate election to replace Carter. Should any three of the state representatives win, yet another special House election will need to be called this year by the legislative leadership. Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin has increasingly expressed concern over the growing number of elections put before voters, but there’s only so much he can do when those races are connected to the Legislature. “While it’s true that we seem to have several elections in Louisiana, it’s not the job of the secretary of state to call them,” said Ardoin. “We just conduct them in a fair, accurate and transparent manner.” If you don’t believe elections beget elections in Louisiana, just look at the runoff ballot from this weekend — particularly the bottom of the ballot.

The response I’ve received from parents, educators, the public, and my colleagues, has been overwhelmingly in support of our students need to return to a normal scholastic schedule for the upcoming year, including extracurricular sports. One of the most compelling justifications for a return to a normal scholastic schedule came directly from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), one of the most respected pediatric health organizations in the world: “The AAP strongly advocates that all policy considerations for the coming school year should start with a goal of having students physically present in school.” “The importance of in-person learning is well-documented, and there is already evidence of the negative impacts on children because of school closures in the spring of 2020.
