Governor Jeff Landry has been busy signing a number of bills addressing Louisiana’s insurance crisis. One of them, SB 61 forces insurance companies to tell customers if they are raising rates based on credit scores.
He says all these bills are for the people of Louisiana and should drive down insurance rates.
Recent polls show that voters are largely unhappy with Governor Landry and the legislature. Pollster Bernie Pinsonat says voters are particularly turned off by the bickering between Landry and Insurance Commissioner Tim Temple, especially since they’re both from the same political party.

The poll was conducted just prior to the start of this year’s legislative session.
Nine down, one to go. The search continues for the last remaining fugitive from the Orleans Parish jailbreak. Andrew Greenstein reports.
