They've done another bang up job demonstrating why we are a bottom rung state.

They ate and drank. Got fatter. Got paid. Wasted some tax revenue. Par for the course. All in all a good session. They blew smoke up one another’s asses. Did some arse patting and belly slinging.

They didn’t do squat....
No tort reform
No sports betting
No DFS
It’s like we have a monopoly on local politicians who do nothing, but look out for themselves. I guess we are last or next to last in everything for a reason. Most of the offenders keep getting elected term after term as well.

There’s no more hope for this state. They don’t do shite. They’ll finally understand one day whenever all the people worth anything in this state are living in Texas and the only people left is people of culcha

Wrong bud.....it was torpedoed by Danny Martiny as revenge on the folks who didn’t pass his sports betting bill. Complete typical Louisiana, screw over the entire state because he didn’t get his way. Good riddance to that scumbag from the legislature. Would love to know if violates the law and plays fantasy football for money. No wonder we are 49th and 50th in everything with people only looking out for themselves running the show. Complete and utterly ridiculous.

They stripped it off in conference committee and passed it with about 30 minutes left in the session.

Did they kill 459 too? I thought that passed, though I admit I was focused on the house.
Never mind, didn’t see they were linked.

I called Sen. Erdey one time to complain about the pay raises for legislators. He told me he supported the pay raise because he didn't have a retirement plan.
Then get a real job ahole.

Hilarious I can’t find official news coverage of that embarrassment. The crummy journalists are just as complicit as the scumbags who are running wild with our tax dollars.
Louisiana's fantasy sports, sports betting bills fail in legislative session's final chaotic minutes
Cliffs from the article:
“We’re going to look like fools,” state Rep. Kirk Talbot, the sponsor of the fantasy sports measures, said in an interview.
People in 47 parishes voted in November to allow fantasy sports in their parishes, but they could not begin playing until the Legislature approved Talbot’s measures to establish the rules and the tax rate.
Earlier in the session, the Senate had approved Martiny’s sports betting measure, Senate Bill 153, which would have called an election in October on whether to legalize sports betting at the state’s 20 casinos.
Meanwhile, the more conservative House favored only setting the rules and tax rate for fantasy sports.
Martiny, who because of term limits ended 26 years in the Legislature on Thursday, didn’t give up. He got the Senate to attach his sports betting bill onto Talbot’s fantasy sports bills.
For fantasy sports to become legal in Louisiana, the Legislature also had to approve Talbot’s HB600. Now the Senate had only two minutes to approve it. Martiny objected, and he talked long enough to prevent the Senate from voting on the bill before adjournment, in his final move as a state legislator.
The Legislature can try to approve fantasy sports next year only if the governor calls a special session.
