The plan to overhaul Louisiana's constitution would rush through changes in just two weeks, and take place during the busy and chaotic final stretch of the #lalege session. The process for the state's last constitutional convention was a multi-year long process. #lagov

Public Schools Left Behind: Education Savings Accounts are a Windfall for Private Schools @InvestLouisiana investlouisiana.org/public-schools…
“ESAs” are a scam. This ⬇️ is one reason why. They allow private schools to reject students. So much for choice. Louisiana has ESAs now, actual savings accounts. Calling the new ESAs education savings accounts is the first lie the public is told. #lalege startsaving.la.gov
ESAs are just a costly private school entitlement program. Analysis of Ohio’s ESA program, which is costing the state nearly $1 billion, found that most of the new scholarships were likely going to students that were already in private schools. cleveland.com/news/2024/03/p… #lalege
Gov. Landry and GOP lawmakers are pushing a plan to funnel tax dollars to private schools. Now public school leaders are pushing back. #lalege nola.com/news/education…

"All of those bills basically blame the victims and strip way their rights while fattening industry profits," said Ben Riggs, executive director of Real Reform Louisiana.
Story: Louisiana drivers pay largest percentage of their incomes on auto insurance in America. Senate Insurance Chair Kirk Talbot believes lawmakers can help: 'We're swinging for the fences on auto insurance' #lagov #lalege shreveporttimes.com/story/news/202… via @shreveporttimes
@ebendily Serious questions: 1 Arizona’s first in nation program is estimated to cost $1b; how do we afford that, 2 there, around half students in program already attend private school; parents already made that “choice” (1)
@ebendily …3 many schools are hiking tuition now to make more $ (I guess) which is pricing many out, 4 plenty of $ is going to the affluent, 5 if public schools are failing that is the fault of the state/system in charge, 6 this experiment is new, we don’t need to rush it (2)
How much with @LAGovJeffLandry's package to fight crime cost? Lawmakers and Landry can't say. The financial analysis attached to nine bills moving hasn't even been completed yet because the analysts haven't been given information they requested. lailluminator.com/2024/02/27/lan… #lalege

The Louisiana Legislature will consider putting a measure on ballots that would ask residents whether to set a lifetime limit of two terms for the governor’s office #lalege #lagov legis.la.gov/legis/ViewDocu…
At @LABI_biz luncheon, @LAGovJeffLandry signs a new executive order for the Industrial Tax Exemption Program. Keeps the cap limiting the property tax exemption to 80% but removes the job creation requirement that former Gov. John Bel Edwards added to the program. #lalege #lagov
The #lalege Crime Session proposals add up to at least $59 million impact on the budget, with only a vague connection to preventing new crimes. Nothing on housing, jobs, education, mental health care, or treatment for substance use.
It's unnecessary for all this legislation to get an initial vetting and votes in one day. A skeptical person might think that's being done deliberately so legislators don't have much time to think about each bill...and to stretch the advocates who are opposed rather thin. #lalege
The measures getting initial votes today include those that would expand gun rights, police immunity from prosecution, restructure public defense, make it easier to perform executions, eliminate parole for most people...and many others. All voted on today. #lalege
