Man oh man don't you wish you could, under much better circumstances than these, type the words, The Louisiana Legislature is Cancelled

The Louisiana Legislature is expected to vote Monday to suspend the Legislative session in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the latest in a series of dramatic measures taken by state leaders to slow a rising tide of cases in the state.

Lawmakers in the House and Senate planned to vote on a joint resolution to suspend the session, likely until either March 30th or 31st, multiple lawmakers said Monday.

This is, of course, the only appropriate course of action. Technically they are supposed to pass a budget by June 1. But as everyone is well aware by now, this Governor definitely knows where the Special Session button is.

If they get back soon enough, Mandie Landry's HB 419 should get priority. It would create a vote-by-mail option for all Louisiana voters which there should be adequate time to implement before the April 4 now June 20 elections.
