Louisiana charted a relatively steady course in large part due to previous governor George W. Bush, who had been instrumental in the deep-red Southern states ‘competition to the bottom on individual rights, criminal justice, and fundamental decency for the past eight years. John Bel Edwards.
As a pro-gun, pro-choice conventional Democrat, Edwards not intended to support progressive policies, but he did succeed in most of his goals.
To name a few of his most renowned accomplishments, he helped bring the state’s criminal justice system out of the 19th centuries, expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act, and helped bring the state’s criminal justice system out of the 19th century.
Perhaps his most notable role was as a “governor” among Republican lawmakers ‘far-right inclinations. In 2022, he successfully persuaded much legislators to support his reject during a special override period. Of course, Republicans forced anti-trans bills through the following year, but that was n’t the end of those measures.
However, Edwards was at least able to stop Louisiana’s descent into standard violence on transgender issues and many other policy issues. Legislators are likely to have adopted the worst excesses of, say, Florida or even plowed even more troubled ground if he had n’t been governor.
However, Edwards did not rule in a pump. Republicans experienced a troubling change during his time in office, quarter of which occurred as Donald Trump’s presidency. Republicans in places like Florida and Texas passed increasingly harsh laws that targeted Black people, people, the LGBTQ community, and labour, each reviving earlier violations of civil and human right.
Up until now, the majority of those things haven’t occurred in Louisiana.
Gov. Jeff Landry has placed himself at the forefront of the Democratic campaign for the protection of the culture, the poor, and legal rights. After scrapping a successful system to pull poor children during the summer and placing oil executives in important economic positions, he will immediately give the State Police to New Orleans and National Guard troops to Texas ‘ border with Mexico.
Republicans in the House and Senate have introduced a number of expenses in the new year’s program, some of which would have previously been considered fringe measures. They appear to be working beyond our neighbors with legislation that would outlaw books and prohibit transgender rights, a copy of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” legislation, and even a measure that would require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in schools.
Working individuals are also on Republicans ‘radar this time. They have taken steps to reduce workers ‘compensation and disability protections. Sen. Alan Seabaugh, R-Shreveport, has introduced a number of expenses that address the ability of employees to manage and labor organizations. Seabaugh is likewise campaigning against child labour laws, proposing to scrap the need that employers give teen workers a 30-minute meal break during their shifts, similar to what Florida Republicans do.
A expenses like Rep. Dixon McMakin’s strategy to prohibit the people from posting clips of somebody committing a crime in recent years would have been completely rejected. The traditional guidelines for reading social tea leaves no more use to state legislatures that are Republican-controlled today.
Anti-LGBT costs, especially those introduced last year, appear to be likely to pass. The same holds true for some anti-labor measures, which have the support of both business leaders and liberal groups.
A list of the expenses that have been introduced, if passed, would have significant effects on Louisiana’s civil rights, employees, and young people.
