re: Landry Is No Conservative

OP’s point is partially true. Landry is a social conservative but not on business/small government issues. What OP—and many on this board—aren’t getting is that Landry needs the conservatives on his side to win again. People need to let their State Senators know they want the Insurance Commissioner’s tort reform package passed. You baws in Norco need to let your Senator Miller know you want tort reform. The Senate is the problem and if a grassroots movement gets activated, the tort reform package can still make it to the Gov. IF it gets to the Gov, then he will be in a position where he can’t veto the package without destroying his coalition.

Yeah, I don't think you get how this game is being played.

Miller can kill selected tort bills because of the composition of the committee.

Cameron Henry set the composition of the committee.

Landry told him to set up the committee so select bills could be killed while others passed.

What happened was all according to plan. Complaining to Miller isn't going to fix it.
