Strike three from Gov. Edwards

Strike three from Gov. Edwards

It was already a given I was going to support a special session of the legislature in 2021 to attempt to override Gov. Edwards’ decision. He had vetoed the Fairness In Women’s Sports Act (SB 156). Strike One! Then I received confirmation that the governor had also vetoed the Constitutional Concealed Gun Carry Act (SB 118). Strike Two! Now he also vetoed a package of Voting Protection Acts, including my own SB 63, which simply clarifies how and when a requested mail-in ballot may be hand-delivered to the Registrar of Voters in their office or an early polling location during voting times. Strike Three, and bring on the override session!

Sen. Tarver’s District 39 projects receive capital outlay funding

State Senator Gregory Tarver, D-Shreveport, announced this week projects in his area receiving funding under House Bill 2, which provides for the state’s capital outlay budget. Of particular importance to the area, LSU Shreveport will receive funding for three projects to improve the campus. The LSU Center for Medical Education and Wellness will receive funds of $3.4 million from the Inpatient Care project, and an additional $18.7 million ($10 million of which is new funding). The project will receive a total of $36 million from the state. $6 million has also been secured for the LSU Health Sciences Center.
