  • 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.

Former Employee Seeks Restraining Order Against Painter -- Fears for Life
A former employee of the Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control has filed for a restraining order against former Commissioner Murphy Painter, saying she "fears for her life" after being threatened by Painter.  Kelli Suire says she has moved out of her Gonzales home without changing her address on any records to keep Painter from finding her, and reports that her current boss, the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary, had to ban Painter from contacting any employees or coming to their offices to harass Suire.

    This is terrible. Channel 2 is trying to make a name for itself by using people to make a story. Seems Jill Craft's boyfriend works for Channel 2. Jill Craft is Kelli Suire's attorney. Let's see how much we can make up to continue putting this on the news. I refuse to watch Channel 2 news any longer. They are trying to become a TV show instead of a news station... start living in reality. Murphy Painter gave this girl a job because mom and dad called begging him too. She couldn't seem to get one on her own...wonder why?! Now she is all about making the news with some made up story. Any nut can file a restraining order. Just another reason to be on the news if the news is trashy enough to cover it.
