There's no way JBE signs that.

I believe he just needs to not veto it

He said it's the matter of the city, but I believe if it hits his desk he'll sign it.
If he doesn't, that all but guarantees him being a 1 term governor.

No fricking way. Without the black vote, he stands no chance in 2019, even if Vitter runs.

Letting the monuments stand won't take away the black vote for a democrat.

He's already guaranteed to be a 1 term governor, as long as a hypocritical zealot with a penchant for cheap hookers isn't the Republican running against him.

You mean the no honor code West Point grad

Well he needs more White votes to win so i agree he just needs to not veto it.
Will this bill pass?

Election isn't until 2 years from now. Most of his voters won't even be thinking about monuments in 2 years, regardless of the outcome....and the only way it even gets brought up in the campaign is if he gets a Democrat challenger. No Republican candidate would criticize him for signing a bill to keep the monuments.

Please for the love of sanity pass.

If it gets through committee, it should get through the House. Only concern is does Alario and the Senate kill it.
If it survives the Senate, I think JBE either signs it or refuses to veto it.

That will take weeks at minimum. How does that protect the monuments when Mitch is imminently taking them down?

All these people both For and Against these monuments are out of their damn minds.
They are freaking statues.
In a city and state that is always on the lowest lows on economic barometers this is a complete waste of time and resources.
To be honest, I grew up in the NOLA metro area (Metairie and Lakeview) and paid absolutely no mind to these statues. In fact I didn't even know we had Liberty Monument or who the hell Pt Beauregard was other than a guy on a horse in front of NOMA.

It can't necessarily. This is about preserving whatever is left.

from the article today in the Advocate, It looks like some of the statures are on the nation historic registry. 1 Mayor shouldnt be able to touch them.

I think the session ends early-mid June...not sure how long before it goes into law if JBE doesn't affirmatively sign it.
