Governor Edwards Letter to
President Donald J. Trump
|
Earlier this year, you exercised your authority under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 to impose tariffs on various imports. In Louisiana, these duties and the corresponding tariffs imposed by China, Canada, Mexico, and the European Union will harm the competitiveness of our ports, our Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities, our agriculture producers and other industries that sustain communities across the state. I am writing to you to share the concerns that have been expressed to me by business leaders, port officials, and farmers from throughout Louisiana

Scalise Update August 4, 2018
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)

This week, the Senate passed the NFIP extension. I applaud the Senate's quick action to pass the NFIP extension bill that the House passed last week, and appreciate the strong efforts by Senators Cassidy and Kennedy to expedite passage of this bill that will prevent a lapse in the flood insurance program and extend NFIP through the remainder of hurricane season.

Expanding Access to
Early Education
|
|
It's great news that the parents of about 4,500 children who have been on a waiting list to receive financial assistance for child care will be rolling off that list. But it highlights an issue which deserves far more attention in Louisiana than it's been receiving.
