re: Jeff Landry is Louisiana's biggest fraud and disappointment

Some of the reforms being discussed are more favorable to insurance companies, for instance, it would be harder to sue your insurer over a claim. Changes like this would make Louisiana more attractive to insurers thus bringing in more companies, creating competition and driving down prices. The problem is in the perception that the insurance commissioner is a friend of insurers and Landry realizes the optics don’t look good. Bottom line, changes like this have to happen, there is no quick fix, and it’s going to suck for a number of years until we see some progress.

why not create or dedicate a specific division in district court to handle all civil suits involving automobile crashes and increase the fee to file such case and establish a pretrial court mediation panel that must hear the case before going to trial.
You're going to need to consolidate all the rural parishes with a district court into bigger districts first.
No way those scantly population NLA rural parishes can deal with this sort of system, and good luck suggesting the number of parishes and district courts in this state is insane. Those rural parishes will protect those government jobs to the death.

A bill will never get to his desk.
Landry has strategically formed the weakest legislative leadership and cabinet appointments so he can call every shot. Landry now controls two of three branches of our government.

I suspect you are correct...but let's get through this regular session before we start making bold claims like this based on rumors.

What did you expect? He's only popular with the social warrior folks. That shite does absolutely nothing to improve this godforsaken welfare state.

There is a lot of propaganda right now that is mega anti-Landry. Every reddit sub about BR or LA is spinning Landry hate and I am sure the Dems are pressing the issue. If he actually does a lot of bad things that would be one thing, but to my knowledge, he hasn't done much yet. Time will tell. But right now, this is coming from leftist idiots who hate conservatives.

Duh. He was a trial lawyer, then elected to Attorney General. He is conservative, just thinks like a trial lawyer. There are many conservative trial lawyers out there, they just see the issue different. Everyone knew this when he ran and it didn't seem to matter. All the emphasis on winning seems to be the overriding concern of most Republicans today.

Every politician in Louisiana is and has been like this for decades now.
The parishes are run by below average leadership and the staff, lets not even get started.
Get a job with the parish or state and its a collect a check type of gig. Its just facts. Laziness and lining ones own pockets is the ultimate goal of the parish and state workers.
End of discussion. When it becomes about actually fixing this place they know what they have to do.

There are valid criticisms of his priorities right now that cannot be dismissed as propaganda from "leftist idiots who hate conservatives."
The legislative session he called to address crime didn't actually address crime. It addressed incarceration. Totally reactive and not proactive in the slightest. It has been made abundantly clear that most criminals don't anticipate getting caught, so legislating punishments for after they are caught doesn't actually deter crime in a meaningful way.
I did not vote for Landry. I am not excited to have him as our governor. But, some people I respect are involved in his administration in significant ways. I spoke to one of my friends who secured an appointment in the Landry administration frankly about some of my concerns pertaining to Landry's stances on the treatment of people involved in the carceral system. My friend's beliefs 100% align more closely with my own than Landry's in terms of criminal justice. The fact that he has an appointment that could help improve things... well, that fact alone has given me pause and is helping me to keep a more open mind about what is to come.
I think it's fair to be suspicious of Landry and to criticize some of his priorities, but it's not fair to totally write him off. I'm a hopeless optimist, but some good may come from the next four years. Stranger things have happened.

LA will get a 2-year prescription (statute of limitations) period. He's not as bullish on many of the other tort reform proposals and made that known (internally) to key legislators. Basically instructions to them to revise the bills to be less "defense" friendly before they get to his desk because he's not going to veto anything a Republican super majority sends to his desk.
My thoughts on Landry have never changed. He's 100x better than having JBE in office. He's going to get a lot of red-meat conservative social crap passed. He's not going to meet hopes/expectations in improving LA's business/economic climate.

Landry is known in political circles as the most bought and paid for guy in the state. Look no further than the MMA Hurricane fraud case. Received notice of the fraud while he's still the AG, immediately receives a donation from the defrauding law firm and doesn't pursue the matter at all.
Guy is a clown.

Most rural parishes are already grouped into districts.
I think Assumption, Ascension and St James are in the same judicial district. As is St. Mary, Iberia and St. Martin.
So some parishes are already consolidated. They could assign an existing division to the position The reason for the increased cost is to account for the increase in court costs for the division and positions it could create.

Duh. Several people on this site told you this repeatedly, and yet people still voted for him.
