  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.

  • 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.

    Introduction Page 5 Grass-Roots Lobbying Page 14 The Paper Chase Page 41 Key Players Page 44 Interest Groups in the Legislative Process Page 46 4 © Copyright 2016 LGS, Inc. INTRODUCTION LOUISIANA POLITICS 2016-2020 Budget woes, conservative majorities and shifting trends. The final year of the 2012-2016 term proved to be just as influential, if not more so, than all of the others that preceded it. With former Gov. Bobby Jindal making his final exit, the Legislature partly overcame a $1.6 billion shortfall and increased spending by passing higher taxes, lowering tax credits, and implementing a variety of short-term budget fixes. A portion of the business utility tax exemption was suspended, a selection of business income tax exemptions were reduced, a cap on the film tax credit was established, and new tax filing standards were created to bring revenue in immediately. Most of these changes were temporary and much of what was debated, from tax alterations to funding formulas, will once again be on the table for 2016. Universities, K-12 schools, health care organizations, and local governments were in line to receive as much money as the previous year, but an $870 million shortfall midway through the 2015-2016 fiscal year put everything in doubt. Moreover, a more than $2 billion gap for the 2016-2017 fiscal year cast major shadows over this new term. Gov. John Bel Edwards took some very unique steps in initially approaching the shortfalls. He created a public Website to take sugges- tions from citizens and asked major network affiliates around the state to carry a live speech from his office just days before his special session convened.

  • The 2016 Legislature: Boomsday
    Volume 42, Number 8 04/08/16 THE MISSION THE CORE VALUES of the LDAA is as follows: of LDAA members include: We believe that the Louisiana Constitution To improve Louisiana's justice system and the requires, and Louisiana citizens favor, locally- office of District Attorney by enhancing the elected, independent prosecutors. we believe that effectiveness and professionalism of Louisiana's prosecutor discretion must be protected from district attorneys and their staffs through interference through manipulative funding or education, legislative involvement, liaison and legislative restrictions. Finally, we believe that information sharing. prosecutors are the best and most trustworthy resource for legislative improvements to the criminal justice system. THE 2016 LEGISLATURE: BOOMSDAY The Governor's FY 16-17 budget is due to be released next Tuesday, April 12. When the numbers are available, we will know how the boom will be lowered concerning the DA line- item. Remember, this budget will be a worst-case scenario and will assume no additional revenues prior to July 1. The Louisiana Indigent Defender Board would be reorganized under a compromise version of HB 818. The Criminal Justice Committee approved a substitute bill, which will get a new number on the House floor. It reduces the number of Board members from 15 to 11; removes the four law professors; gives local PDs more input; and mandates that 65% of the appropriated funds be spent on local PDs. Look for LACDL and the boutique law firm, anti- death penalty gang to try to kill this in the Senate. Changing the Age of Juvenile Jurisdiction to include 17-year-olds is a major piece in the Governor's legislative agenda.
