The Caddo Parish District Attorney’s Office is seeking death warrants for two death row inmates, 54-year-old Darrell Draughn and 47-year-old Marcus Reed.

Not only was Constitutional Amendment Two shot down by voters on Saturday’s ballot, but all four amendments went down in defeat.

The 2025 legislative session begins two weeks from today and political analyst Bernie Pinsonat says Governor Landry can rebound from this political defeat, by pushing legislation that could lower insurance rates…

Cut 11 (09) “….public is”

The failure of the four constitutional amendments over the weekend continues to send shockwaves across the entire state. Steven Procopio, the president of the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana, says Constitutional Amendment 2, which was the one that got by far the most attention, likely failed because it was way too much to unpack in a single election.

Cut 6 (09) “…people to digest.”

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 3 (09) “…bad policy outcomes.” 

In a statement after the election, Governor Landry said, in his words, Soros and far left liberals poured millions of dollars into Louisiana with propaganda and outright lies about Amendment 2. Moeller, however, says there was also a great deal of Republican opposition to all four amendments as well.

With the LSU women’s basketball team’s season ending yesterday with a loss to UCLA in the Elite Eight, All-American guard Flau’jae Johnson now has a decision to make.

Cut 12 (13) “…our program.”

All-American forward Aneesah Morrow is not coming back next season, because she’s used up her college eligibility.

In a stunning development, voters overwhelmingly defeated all four constitutional amendments on Saturday’s ballot by about two-to-one each. John Couvillon with JMC Analytics and Polling says Governor Landry and Republican lawmakers took too big of a swipe at changing the state’s tax code by seeking to rewrite Article 7 of the State Constitution.

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.

Cut 13 (09)  “…step up.”

The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality recently held a statewide listening tour on the state’s waste tire crisis; and now, it’s out with its report. Secretary Aurelia Giacometto says waste tires are having an adverse effect on the state’s waterways.

And when it rains, the water collected in those tires can allow mosquitoes to breed in them, potentially leading to mosquito-transmitted diseases like West Nile Virus.

.Cut 9 (12)  “…side effects.”

Louisiana voters soundly rejected all four Constitutional amendments on Saturday’s ballot, with about 65-percent of voters voting no on each one. Governor Landry pushed hard for Amendment 2, telling voters it would make the state more attractive for business investment. But John Couvillon of JMC Analytics and Polling says the governor didn’t start campaigning for the amendment until the week of early voting…

Cut 10 (13) “…either.”

Amendment Two was born in last November’s tax reform special session. It sought to make major changes to Article Seven that included lowering the maximum income tax rate, limiting annual budget increases, and making it harder to approve new tax breaks.

The race for Lake Charles mayor is headed to a runoff. Republican incumbent Nic Hunter got 47-percent of the vote – not enough to win outright. Thus, he will face independent Marshal Simiem, who got 29-percent of the vote Saturday.

Following a statewide listening tour, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality is out with its report on how to deal with the state’s waste tire crisis. Secretary Aurelia Giacometto says one thing they learned in the six town halls is that many collection sites charge a per-tire fee over a certain limit, and that’s counterproductive.

Cut 4 (11) “…just been dumped.”

Louisiana voters gave a resounding “No” to the four Constitutional Amendments on Saturday’s ballot. Each proposal lost in a two to one vote, including Amendment Two, which Governor Jeff Landry strongly supported. Landry went around the state this month telling voters Amendment Two would make Louisiana a more business friendly state.

However, Amendment Two faced opposition from conservatives over concerns it would weaken constitutional protections for property tax exemptions that religious groups and nonprofits rely on.
