BATON ROUGE - Mike Foster, Louisiana's 53rd governor, has entered hospice care at the age of 90.
Sources close to the former governor confirmed Foster's situation with WBRZ and said it was not related to COVID-19.
The former senator and Shreveport native first took the office of governor in 1996 and won re-election without a run-off, a rarity in Louisiana gubernatorial elections. Foster also took law classes part-time at Southern University during his time as a politician.
The Republican governor is perhaps best-known for introducing legislation that allowed motorcyclists to ride without helmets on state highways, though that law was later overturned by his successor, Kathleen Blanco. Prayers

I wasn't big into politics back then, that's all I remember from his time as governor.

All I remember from him was the Stelly plan. Whatever the frick that was. I know it was something to do with taxes but I have no clue what the details were.
I'm too lazy to go to google but mostly because I just really don't care.

The guy can be in hospice and still be a much better Governor than John Bel Cocksucker.

wasn't that a hated tax hike that gave the state a budget surplus?
