Gov. Jeff Landry and legislators are hypocrites
The article accuses Gov. Jeff Landry and the Louisiana Legislature of hypocrisy for demanding school districts cut budgets to address a $168 million shortfall while failing to address waste in their own $47 billion state budget. It criticizes their initial push for a constitutional amendment to fund current expenditures without eliminating waste and highlights Landry's veto of a bill to increase compensation for wrongfully convicted individuals.
