  • Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties

    Louisiana Voters Divided Among 217 Political Parties The Louisiana Secretary of State carefully records the political party voters choose when they register to vote, which is how Louisiana's voter roll came to include 217 political parties, 86 which have only one member.  Included in that list is the Bull Moose Party, with its five members, 12 Jedis, 20  members of the Banana Party, one Monarchist, 16 Whigs, two Cajuns and a list of equally amusing party choices.  Read Gannett's Mike Hasten's hilarious account of those who list their party registration as "other" at the link below.

Lawmaker Files Bill to Repeal Jindal
A north Louisiana legislator has filed a bill to repeal the recent 70% increase in the drivers' license fee that went into effect on Monday.  State Police Col. Mike Edmonson estimates the new fee will raise an additional $13 million for his department, although the money generated is not specifically allocated to the Office of Motor Vehicles that issues drivers licenses.  Governor Bobby Jindal has refused to respond to reporters' requests for interviews on the issue that has been building since Monday with opposition to what most consider to be a tax increase.
