re: Louisiana Election- All Four Amendments Fail

Oh you don’t like appointed judges making the decisions, we could have an ejected judge but the people voted that down. Sorry!

Is there really a difference? Appointed judges are appointed by the Supreme Court. Elected judges...well we know thats a crapshoot.

The part of it which would have allowed for the creation of more specialized courts. We already have more judges than other states with our population. The creation of more specialized courts mean more judges are needed, meaning the growth of government. There are currently 69 specialized courts, in 2023 they heard ~5,000 cases total. That's approximately 1 case per court per week but somehow we need more of that?

Yeah we sure do need em. What you're missing is most district courts in Louisiana don't have specialty courts, so the regular judges have to hear all the family law B.S. etc., which keeps the dockets all tied up and keeps regular cases from getting moved efficiently. It also helps to have Judges that specialize in and only hear Family law cases, for example, like here in Baton Rouge. Works well, and many of the larger parishes really need them.

I'm a conservative Trump supporter

I voted NO on 2 because it's a convoluted mess to present to voters. Keep it simple stupid. The mumbo jumbo = deception If you want lower taxes then make it clear Landry didn't get it his way because whoever wrote that thing is incompetent themselves

The language in these proposed amendments and other measures for voters to decide is ALWAYS far too complicated for the average voter. Then, you get “explanation” posts/emails from special interest groups putting their own twists on things in their efforts to simplify. It almost makes it a bait and switch thing that the average voter will always vote NO on because they’re afraid of being hoodwinked.

I sympathize, I do.

But the problem is the constitution IS a convoluted mess. So you have to unwind something complex.

And worse, a lot of these financial parts interact. So breaking them up, becomes complicated if not impossible.


That said, I hope they pick some of the most important parts (inventory tax would be my #1 pick) and put them on the ballot.

I am just not sure 16 amendments about complicated topics will be much more likely to pass than one complicated amendment.

Exactly and 3 held people accountable for their actions! There are some real dumb mfs in this state glad I got the F out when I did! Just LOL at Louisiana.

Btw no one thinks Latoya is doing a good job. You’d know that if you actually lived in or ever went to New Orleans.

BS. Did she get recalled? Apparently enough people thought she was doing a good job or she would be out the door. Residents had their chance.

So you are wrong.

Not even close. Jindal was a reformer, Landry isn’t. I wish we could have a third Jindal term.
