SHENANIGNS and NONSENSE in the Louisiana Senate!!

On June 3, 2023 Louisiana Senate President Cortez adjourned the meeting without taking any votes on anything. Whole thing only lasted a few minutes. Pitiful! He is apparently trying to run out the clock on a lot of the bills so that the senators (or JBE) don’t have to go on the record with their votes/vetoes.

Several bills of MAJOR importance are at stake including HB 537 which prevents our foreign adversaries from buying land in Louisiana and HB 131 - constitutional carry bill.

Email cortezp@legis.la.gov and/or call his district office at 337-993-7430 and demand that the following YES bills "be given an up and down vote on the Senate floor before 6:00 PM Monday."

HB 8 - place signs with the motto "In God We Trust" in schools and classrooms
