jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 23/05/2026My fellow Louisianans - the state legislature is preparing to cut teacher pay because we said “no” to Amendment 3 on May 16th. A few thoughts below. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/letters/ther... 077
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 14/04/2025The Louisiana State Legislature convenes today at noon. May God Protect Us All 0143
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 10/04/2025Something that feels under-discussed lately (in part because of the distraction of Amendment 2) is that one relatively easy way to raise teacher pay would be to stop giving huge tax breaks to corporations and put those dollars towards paying teachersnola.comAfter teacher pay amendment fails, Landry says Louisiana must ‘return to the drawing board’After voters failed to pass an amendment last month that would have made one-time stipends Louisiana teachers received last year a permanent part of their salaries, Gov. Jeff Landry wrote in an open l... 242
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 02/04/2025The reason people don't trust these efforts, btw, is the only thing the Governor has been transparent about is his belief that he and his donors should have full run of this state, however they see fit. This election really should make legislators reconsider their role in that. 052
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Useful opportunity to note - whenever a politician talks about “reform[ing] Medicare,” unless those words are immediately followed by “to expand it to more people and services” or “to cover everyone,” they always mean cuts to Medicare 131
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Somehow not an April Fool’s joke. But you know what they say, when nearly 2/3rds of all the people who showed up to vote in record turnout for a March election just to overwhelmingly reject your constitutional amendments, try try again 250
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Not the first to point this out, but remarkable that Landry is so instinctually a "you're either with me or you're against me" kind of guy that even in prepared press statements, he can't help but blame everyone but himself, even his constituents, whenever things don't go his way 1132
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Despite the spin that the Governor and his allies are trying to make stick, the fact is that voters all across the political spectrum in Louisiana soundly rejected his continued efforts to manipulate the state constitution to serve the interests of corporations at our expense 2188
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 30/03/2025There is something a little funny about Landry (frequent user of his donors’ private jets), AFP + Pelican (arms of the Koch network) bellyaching about the influence of money to explain why voters rejected their clear-as-mud case for these amendments 2145
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 30/03/2025“We realize how hard positive change can be to implement in a State that is conditioned for failure,” is a hell of a thing to say about the people of the state you’re supposed to serve as Governor, but I can understand why these kinds of numbers might make anyone nervous 36215
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 30/03/2025Amendment 2 never really guaranteed a “pay raise” for teachers. We cannot allow the Governor or the legislature to hide behind the people of Louisiana resoundingly rejecting their scheme to avoid fixing this. It’s time that Louisiana actually gave teachers a permanent pay raise 13813
jgv @jacksonvoss.bsky.social · 24/03/2025Imagine being a South Louisiana politician who looks at the utility services provided by Entergy and saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and also let's raise everyone's electric bills to give them even more money" 132

Reposted by jgvLauren Jewett, NBCT, MA @doitjewett.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Remember in 2023 on Sine Die, when after not passing permanent teacher and school staff pay raises, the legislature said something to the effect, “I’ll guess we’ll try to get the teacher pay raises in the MFP” next year. Yea…it never happened. 032
