    LUNSFORD: Surprise! LAGOP Endorsements Are Political (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    (Citizens for a New Louisiana) — The Louisiana Republican Party has endorsed three candidates for two congressional seats, including two Republicans running against each other in District 6. Naturally, everyone is upset. The latest round of consternation began with the party’s endorsement of Sen. Blake Miguez in Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District, followed several days later by an endorsement of another candidate in the same race, Sen. Rick Edmonds. The process began when Blake Miguez submit

    LUNSFORD: StateLens — A NewLouisiana Solution Goes National (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    (Citizens for a New Louisiana) — Several years ago, I realized that keeping up with the legislature would require more than a shared Google Sheet. A spreadsheet doesn’t notice when a bill changes, and that’s a big problem. But, like so many other grassroots organizations that try to keep up with legislation, it was cheap with no barrier to entry — so we persisted. One day, the Lord tapped me on the shoulder and asked a simple question: “Why aren’t you using the talents I’ve given you?” But I am,

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    (Citizens for a New Louisiana) — There are two ways to raise taxes. The first is the traditional way. A legislator introduces a tax bill. It receives committee hearings. Members debate it.

    LUNSFORD: Lagniappe Village – New Iberia’s Latest Tax Increase (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    (Citizens for a New Louisiana) — New Iberia may be just one more tax away from prosperity—at least, that appears to be the theory. City officials are considering another 1-cent sales tax to support a private development project approaching $40 million. Their justification includes jobs, retail growth, and economic development. The complication? New Iberia already has a 10.5% sales tax, while one existing shopping area they’re adding to reportedly has 25 vacant storefronts. Today, we examine the

    LUNSFORD: Trump’s Election Packet Mirrors Louisiana’s New Voting System (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    (Citizens for a New Louisiana) — When President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office Thursday evening, much of the attention naturally focused on his claims regarding the 2020 election and the declassification of intelligence and cybersecurity documents. One document in particular stood out: “Vulnerabilities in Electronic Voting and Ballot-Counting Systems.” Rather than relying on media summaries, I spent the morning reviewing the material—along with a detailed technical assess
