I was told the same thing by Tony Bacala. He said bc he was formerly in law enforcement, he wouldn't vote for it.
Some of these dumbasses have taken a page straight from the Bill Cassidy playbook.
I politely reminded him it doesnt matter what he wants, it matters what his constituents want.
The problem is they actually believe the decision is theirs alone. They legitimately dont give a frick what their constituents want.

We the People, my arse. Politicians, all of them, can eat a bag full of glass.

Agreed. At least fricking lie and not piss directly in our faces.
Just an update... the Senate adjourned without voting on 514 today. The legislative process is frustrating.

HB440 NELSON FEES/LICENSES/PERMITS - Levies fees for licenses relative to cannabis (EG INCREASE SG RV See Note)

Abstract: Levies fees for certain licenses relative to cannabis.
Proposed law levies an annual fee of $100 for a personal cultivation license.
Proposed law levies an annual fee of $2,500 for a cannabis business license.
Proposed law provides that if the amount of fees collected pursuant to proposed law in a
fiscal year exceeds the costs of enforcement and regulation, the excess fees shall be
distributed proportionally to certain municipalities, sheriffs, parishes, and the state in the
same proportion as the distributions of taxes collected for sales regulated by proposed law
(Chapter 9 of Title 26 as provided by HB No. 699 of the 2021 R.S.).

fricks like this need to be voted out of office. Cant give a legitimate reason to oppose it other than his personal convictions.
I'd be curious to know how many of these politicians are lining their pockets at the expense of the state economy and people's freedoms.

house is in session

WTF?? 514 was passed over in the Senate again?
Posted on 5/18/21 at 3:27 pm to jdd48
So was 391.
Now the tax bill is up in the House and some JACKASS (Rep Fontenot) just asked if the rep consulted with the Sheriff's Association on the tax amount and asked if it was high enough to cover "the increase in crime."

Now they want to form a study group on where the money is spent.

Fontenot has definitely been paid by the Sheriff's Association. Can't stop talking about them and wants them involved in everything. Why should the damn SA be involved in deciding tax allocation??
This is getting embarrassing.

Fontenot just said I would be concerned with legalization without taxation

HB434 (tax) fails 47-48. Recreational is all but dead. 
Sheriff's did their godamn work as usual. Hopefully we at least get full medical.

Taxation bill voted down 48/47.
We have the most dumb elected officials in the country.

No reason to even debate HB699 now. It's DOA.
Just a reminder that the House members, from their own mouths, claimed how public support for this bill had been "overwhelmingly positive".

I am pretty sure tax failure is an indicator that it's not going to pass. The "crude form" medical bill keeps getting passed over in the Senate too. Not a good sign IMO.

How can we change the law so that we can vote for this ourselves instead of having these self-serving, corrupt politicians making judgments in "our best interests".
