She does not like it.

But in a statement issued late Tuesday, Cantrell offered her first hint of public criticism toward Landry since he took office, focusing on the 17 bills being considered during the special session. "We have concerns that much of the proposed legislation does not effectively address crime at its root causes and could impact how we go about our everyday lives," said Cantrell, adding that the measures would “set our city back from the progress we have made in reducing crime and can put our residents, visitors and all law enforcement personnel at further risk.” Cantrell did not specify which bills she was referring to or detail how they would have the effects she described. Her administration did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bills up for consideration would restrict opportunities for parole, sentence reductions and good-behavior early releases for state inmates. Another would make many juvenile offender records public.
