The failure of the four constitutional amendments over the weekend continues to send shockwaves across the entire state. Governor Landry told voters that the passage of Amendment Two could result in the state eliminating state income taxes one day. But political analyst Bernie Pinsonat says that didn’t motivate potential supporters of the amendment to vote.

The opposition to Amendment 2 was led by Jan (YAHN) Moeller, the executive director of Invest in Louisiana. Moeller says it was a decisive and appropriate verdict by the voters.

Cut 11 (11) “…amendment.”

For the second year in a row the LSU Lady Tigers season ended in the Elite Eight, losing to top-seeded UCLA, 72-65. Coach Kim Mulkey says the game was lost in the second quarter, when UCLA outscored LSU 22-12 with their best player, Lauren Betts, on the bench due to foul trouble.
