Friends, The Louisiana Legislature has been hard at work...hard at work trying to take away our Governor's powers to protect us, that is. There is too much to report in one email, so we will try to give you some of the highlights:

*
Tony
Spell,
angered
by
the
Emergency
Orders
restricting
in-person
gatherings
at
the
start
of
the
pandemic,
called
Governor
Edwards
a
"Godless
Governor"
as
he
testified
in
support
of
HB9,
which
would
effectively
clear
him
from
charges
he
currently
faces
for
putting
our
community
at
risk
of
contracting
COVID-19
when
he
refused
to
stop
in-person
church
services.



*
In
a
campaign
stunt
to
help
his
bid
for
Congress,
State
Rep.
Lance
Harris
brought
a
bill
that
would
punish
local
governments
and
universities
for
cutting
their
police
budget
...he
did
this
without
input
from
local
governments
or
universities.
Further,
he
did
not
have
any
solutions
to
account
for
accross
the
board
budget
cuts
that
would
affect
more
than
just
police
budgets,
nor
did
he
have
any
basic
facts
about
local
police
forces
or
current
city
budgets
for
police
forces
when
asked.



*
Though
unemployment
insurance
is
proven
to
be
one
of
the
most
effective
ways
to
boost
an
economy
in
recession,
the
Republicans
of
the
House
Labor
&
Industrial
Relations
Committee
unanimously
voted
against
Rep.
Duplessis'
bill
that
would
increase
the
weekly
unemployment
benefits
for
the
people
of
Louisiana.



Are you as fired as we are over all of this?
