Gov. John Bel Edwards on Thursday blasted a movement by some GOP state lawmakers to cancel his emergency declaration on the new coronavirus in order to end his stay-at-home order on businesses and residents, calling it “nonsensical.”

“That would just be completely irresponsible and nonsensical to be the only state in the nation without an emergency declaration in place for the public health emergency of COVID-19,” Edwards said at a press conference.


quote:

Edwards noted the state currently has the sixth-highest rate of cases per capita in the U.S., and he said cancelling the emergency declaration would disqualify Louisiana from millions in federal funding.

“Silly is not the right word,’ Edwards said. “It would be profoundly regrettable.”

Republican state Rep. Alan Seabaugh on Wednesday circulated a draft petition that would use an obscure part of state law that allows a majority of either the state House or Senate to end an emergency declaration.

Having an emergency declaration as a formality is fine.

Putting the entire state under house arrest is the problem.

If the cocksucker would just issue a less restrictive order transitioning us into Phase One, this wouldn’t be an issue.

The problem is, he takes his orders from the DNC, not the people of Louisiana. Piss on him.

So, is he concerned about the per capita infection rate or the federal money?

And who gives a shite if it looks silly to be the first state with no executive order?

He's FOS. He also threatened to cancel LSU football, kid elderly out of nursing homes, and close LSU medical school and hospitals. The guy is a liar and knows no bounds. This whole thing is for him to run out the month and get to a special session to raise the gas tax.

but we're still free to be melodramatic so that has to count for something, right?

The argument that Louisiana would be the only state doesn’t hold that much water. Someone has to be the first. Also to say, “we’re not going to do something because everyone else isn’t” is just a bad thing to follow in life in general.

So I guess Georgia isn’t getting federal money either.

North Dakota does not have an emergency order in place. The citizens of ND was so happy today they had a parade to thank their governor. JBE is the biggest POS.

This dude is pissing me off with how he manipulates numbers.

Louisiana has conducted the third most tests per million people. Of course we will have a higher rate of cases when we are at the top of testing.

This prick is going to keep pushing for much more tests then use “we have more positive cases” to justify his lockdowns. He can”t wait to overemphasize the “increased number of cases” when we start to reopen. Dishonest prick.

That's why the MSM's hair is on fire for more testing. Got to keep the fear level up.

Notice no one is screaming for more antibody tests.

If course federal money. Money that will NOT be spent wisely if history is used as a predictor.
