Yes. The legislature has demonstrated that it’s willing to circumvent the will of voters and invalidate the legitimate outcome of a local election to settle petty political scores for the governor. Not one person is surprised by this.

Your continued silence is so telling.

The opinion is very underwhelming. Basically all it says is that the legislature passed a law so it is what it is.
Long way to say it's all legal and Louisiana is now following the laws.
Thanks

This.
The law was followed, so the criminal clerk post can be abolished and the civil clerk getting those duties does not mean it is a brand new office.

What more do you think it should say?
There are valid concerns about local governance when the state can invalidate the outcome of a valid local election after the votes are tallied.

What laws were not being followed that are “now” being followed?

Was the person going to be paid by state funds or city/parish funds? I do see your point though

What other state legislatively created completely redundant elected positions are you concerned about?

Orleans Parish attempting to declare the combined clerk office was a new office and attempting to stick a placeholder in pending an election.

Societal norms aren’t being followed when one pretends to have qualities such as honesty and integrity but refuses to admit when they lied or were wrong.
Shame

Where did i say that? You always argue with yourself when you make up things?
Now means currently. The court ruled Louisiana is following legislation.
Are you still confused?

People have a right to vote.
Officeholders do not have a right to the continuance of an office that exists at the whim/discretion of the legislature.
For example, the Congress could eliminate all inferior federal courts tomorrow (appellate courts and district courts). Thus, the current judges would no longer have any ability to rule and would no longer be judges. However, the Congress would have to continue paying them.

Duncan can run again in 2029 to challenge Napoleon. Given that he won 68% of the vote in 25', he'd likely be a formidable candidate.

The new state law abolishing the Orleans Parish Clerk of Criminal Court’s office.
A technicality that it wasn't being followed because it didn't exist but...who cares.
You lost.

So court agreed that everything was legal and law is followed as intended and consolidated offices into one as in other parishes is ? Now one less government office for N O thieving freeloaders to occupy

And the legislature can once again thwart t voters by eliminating the office after the outcome is determined.

Abolishing the Criminal Clerk was on nobody's radar before Christmas. Liz Murrill was pissed thar Duncan got elected so Landry had Morris in Monroe to sponsor a bill to eliminate the position
