Finally someone with balls in Louisiana politics

"It is deeply hypocritical for Governor John Bel Edwards to attack Lafayette in the national media, criticizing our City Council for recognizing the challenges and cost involved in enforcing a local mask mandate. Where is the Governor’s enforcement of his mask mandate? The State Fire Marshal reports to him. ATC reports to him. How many citations have they written for the nearly 4,000 complaints they have received? Zero.

The real failure of leadership is immediately evident in Governor Edwards’ decision to use his “mask mandate” as a partisan weapon, rather than actually enforce it. How much of the $1.9 billion provided to the State by the Federal Government for COVID-19 response has been dedicated to enforcement of his mandate? Why does he expect local governments, yet again, to bear the cost of state mandates?

If the Governor wants to use the national media to audition for a job in Washington DC, he might want to make sure his own house is in order first.
Mayor-President Josh Guillory

From what I can tell federal money goes to bail out state and local government who refuse to tighten their belts instead of going to actually help folks who are sick or stop the virus.

Edwards, Jackson and Broome hammer private citizens and companies in their regular pressers while they fritter away the tax dollars we send them.

Guillory should run for Governor. A guy like him would clean up a lot of Louisiana’s problems. It’s a start. A true republican in there.

Acadiana politics > the rest of south Louisiana politics. Acadiana politics are more straight up.

JBE attended a funeral service a few weeks ago in my hometown...without a mask. Do as I say, not as I do.

Finally. A local Republican with some fricking courage to fight back.

There is a massive demand for politicians like this.

I agree. It's good to see someone respond to that slimy piece of shite, but I'm not crazy about the "he's not enforcing it" line. It would have been better had he taken the approach of why it isn't really necessary.

Guillory could win in places like Jefferson Parish, Baton Rouge suburbs and the Northshore. I think Landry would draw resentment in those places.
