re: Lance Harris points out cuts JBE can make without a special session

Yes, Edwin Edwards was smart and knew what was going on. He had about three career administrative state employees that really knew the budget and money. We often met at the mansion in the big room on the left and ate lunch on the right. We discussed all of this and came to agreements then went over to the capital in the afternoon and passed the bills. Gov't actually worked. The problem Edwards had later did not exist then,about '84,'85,'86 or so. He knew his stuff. I was in La. then of course. I never knew I'd have to move later to make a living. Things happen in life.
