Sure, as long as we deal with Lake Charles as well.

Are y’all still having to get file stamped copies in person from the courthouses?

It’s about time the leadership of the state straightens that shite hole of a city out

FIFY.

I'll discuss how the State used decades-old, broad Constitutional language to override the outcome of a legitimate local election every day
What's the time limit on Constitutional language before it becomes invalid?
How old are you? Got to be at least as young as a Millennial. Part of the Trophy Generation.
If the rules say that the state legislature can set aside the election, then they can, and them setting is aside is as "legitimate" as the votes they set aside. In fact, more so, since they legally have jurisdiction over them.
This is exactly why—even though your possible alter always ridicules the argument—it usually does bear pointing out that we do not live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic. Because of little details like this.
Just because citizens voted, that doesn't mean that their collective will is the highest authority. In a constitutional republic, the constitution is the highest authority, and it's that way on purpose.
Thus why the distinction is always relevant, and is not just parsing corn silk. You think of this country as a "democracy," which is why you assume that the collective will of the majority of people is/should be the highest authority. I (correctly) think of this country as a constitutional republic, so I assume that the constitution is the highest authority.

I agree, but let’s not act like corruption is unique to just Orleans Parish. A lot of pot calling kettle black in this state recently
Corruption in NOLA has been next level extreme for decades. It is most certainly worse than the rest of the state.

That local elections should generally be decided by local voters, that state power should be exercised with restraint, and that legal processes shouldn't be used selectively depending on whose side benefits.

link? I never made this claim. In fact, I've started many threads about incompetence and unethical practices in New Orleans.

It’s fricking retarded. Sheriffs get first crack at service then if they can’t we have to file a motion to get a private process server appointed. And yes, the papers will literally be mailed from whatever parish they were filed in to whatever parish they need to be served in. Sometimes I goose this by having a courier take them from A to B to skip the mail. It’s cumbersome and inefficient as frick, but it keeps each clerk’s office and sheriff maintaining their little fiefdom. Then the sheriff mails back a service return to the issuing clerk. Sometimes takes weeks to get back to me.
As you can tell, this is my soapbox issue at the moment.

Sure, if we ignore Baton Rouge and Shreveport. We certainly hear most about New Orleans with it being the only city the country/world recognizes in the state.

The Home Rule Charter and other statutory provisions that have carved out New Orleans' ability to operate differently/separately from what other parishes do have enabled a different/greater level of corruption amongst certain areas of government - this dual clerk issue just being one of any number.
I have little doubt other jurisdictions would expand (or would have expanded) their corruption similarly, if in the same position.

That’s awful. If I want I can hire a weirdo from a private server service and have service done the same day as citation is issued.

Everyone in New Orleans loves to brag about how important the city is. How it’s the economic engine of the state. The most important thing we have in Louisiana.
But when it’s run in a shitty manner and the state wants to fix it, it’s:
Well, New Orleans is in the state.

Most sheriffs in the state aren’t perfect, but NOLA is by far the worst one to deal with.

Good thing we don't have real problems to tackle in this state.
1) This is what you always say when you are against something. You're so predictable.
2) New Orleans is a mess. Too many people like you there. I hope Landry can do some much-needed clean-up.
3) I see one upvote. Is that yours?
