re: Jeff Landry pushes for a bill to hide his schedule

Not sure this should be tied to Trump.
Whatever else you think about Trump, he is pretty open with the press—perhaps to his detriment, given his tendency to speak off the cuff.

[quote]Now – there is another possibility, which is that Fields isn’t the one rolling Landry. Fields might be doing Cameron Henry’s bidding. The Senate president, after all, has been dumping on the idea of a constitutional convention this entire session, and what we’re learning about how Henry opera...
re: Politico: FL public schools face staggering enrollment declines; school choice working
Posted by BigJim on 5/26/24 at 11:10 pm
Very interesting article, but it's missing any mention of how well the students are doing in the new schools.
If you are just rearranging the deck chairs then you aren't making any progress.

re: Jeff Landry in trial lawyers pocket
Posted by BigJim on 5/23/24 at 12:06 pm
He clearly tanked some insurance reform bills to keep the trial lawyers happy. Mostly on the auto side.
But I doubt he would veto any bills, that would just be too upfront and have his fingerprints. Right now, he has some deniability.
