Jeff Landry wants his office exempt from Public Record Law

No public servant should be exempt period. Republican or Democrat

Without reading, this is probably about records related to security of the gov and his family. Florida did the same thing and commies and another particular group melted down.

ETA: yep

Full transparency or GTFO . Period.

Abstract: Exempts from the Public Records Law the records of the office of the governor relating to the deliberative process of the governor, intra-office communications of the governor and his internal staff, the governor's security and schedule, or communications with or the security and schedule of the governor's spouse or children.

Present law provides that the records of the office of the governor are public records. Provides that a record of the office of the governor relating to intra-office communications of the governor and his internal staff, except those relative to fiscal matters, may be privileged from disclosure. Provides that any record pertaining to the schedule of the governor or that of his spouse or child containing security details may be held confidential for a period not to exceed seven days following the scheduled event. Defines "office of the governor" as the governor, chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, and executive counsel.

Present law requires the governor and his internal staff to preserve all records of the office of the governor, and at the conclusion of his term of office, requires the governor to transfer all such records to the custody of the archives division of the secretary of state.

Present law further provides that any exemption granted by present law lapses eight years after the creation of the record and provides that after the lapse of eight years, the records of the office of the governor are public record.

Proposed law removes the provisions of present law and provides instead that the laws relative to public records shall not apply to records having been used, being in use, possessed, or retained for use by the governor in the usual course of the duties and business of his office relating to the deliberative process of the governor, intra-office communications of the governor and his internal staff, the governor's security and schedule, or communications with or the security and schedule of the governor's spouse or children. Provides definitions for "deliberative process", "relating to the deliberative process of the governor", and "internal staff of the governor".

Proposed law specifies that the exemption does not apply to agencies transferred or placed within the office of the governor; however, provides that a record that is limited to predecisional advice and recommendations to the governor concerning budgeting and that is in the custody of any agency or department headed by an unclassified gubernatorial appointee shall be privileged for six months from the date the record is prepared.

Present law provides that no person shall be prevented from inspecting or obtaining an electronic or physical reproduction of record pertaining to any money or monies, any assets or items of economic value to the state, or any financial transactions in the control of or handled by or through the governor or the office of the governor. Proposed law retains present law.

That part is trouble. Should not be allowed to become law.

I believe there is a six month window.


Company A is negotiating with the LA gov about relo package.

Reporter FOiA and leaks those details.

AZ get that info and revamps their relo package using LA good faith against them.

Jeff Landry is a conservative. He told me so.
