PoliticsLA.com has been a trusted, non-partisan source for Louisiana news since its launch in 2002 – and by the 2003 election cycle it had become the “must read” website for anyone serious about political news in Louisiana.
Our new format features top news stories, a blog community and the same great forums -- still a front row seat to the best political debate in Louisiana.
Welcome to a new decade of Politics in Louisiana.

Divided Lafayette Council Delays Vote on Deconsolidation -- No Speakers Allowed on Issue
A motion to delay a vote on whether to ask voters to consider repealing the home rule charter in Lafayette Parish was cut short Tuesday night, blocking debate and speakers on the issue. While this means it won't be on the November 2 ballot, the issue could be before voters early next year. A vote of 5-4 by the Council delayed the discussion for 90 days, highlighting the tension between the city and unincorporated areas.

GOP LEADER CONCERNED ABOUT MOCKING TONE IN MEMO
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) blasted the Republican National Committee on Sunday for producing a fundraising presentation that mocked the President and congressional leadership as cartoon villains and socialists.
Asked about the document -- which outlines how "ego-driven" wealthy donors could be persuaded to take out their checkbooks -- the Kentucky Republican called it "certainly not helpful" to the Republican cause.
"I can't imagine why anybody would have thought that was helpful," McConnell added. "Typically the way parties raise money is because people believe in the causes they advocate. I think the way we raise money from donors across America is to stand for things that are important for the country."
