Chris’ opposing testimony before the Senate & Governmental Affairs Committee regarding Republican Senator Ronnie Johns’ appointment

LACAG opposed the appointment because it was obviously a political payback from Governor Edwards after Johns did not appear for a critical legislative veto override session. Only days later Governor Edwards appoints him to head the Commission. Johns may be qualified, but this type of political gamesmanship is why Louisiana citizens no longer trust their leaders. Edwards needed his vetos to stick, and Johns wanted to head the Gaming Commission. It is not difficult to see the writing on the wall. Michael Lunsford of Citizens for a New Louisiana also appeared and gave testimony in opposition to Johns’ appointment. LACAG appreciates the great work CNL does for Louisiana citizens.
