On Nov. 8, Louisiana voters went to the polls to vote. One of many gadgets they might vote on was one more ineffective modification to our bloated structure.
State Rep. Edmond Jordan provided up an modification that was so poor that if it handed, it might want one other modification to repair the ambiguous language.
Jordan even requested residents to vote in opposition to his “anti-slavery” modification. Voters went to the polls and did simply that, they voted it down.
Nonetheless, the harm was already performed to the state and the residents.
The subsequent morning NPR had a narrative that slavery was on the poll in 4 states and Louisiana voted in opposition to ending it. Rolling Stone has an article “Three States Banned Slavery on Tuesday, One Voted to maintain it.”
This poorly written feel-good laws to create extra bloat in our structure had the alternative impact than what Jordan needed. It harmed the status of the state of Louisiana, made us appear like some backwater banana republic.
Jordan must apologize for the hurt his modification has performed to the individuals of this state, and he wants to vary his private motto to one thing apart from “If it ain’t broke, repair it till it’s.”
