On Tuesday, Landry sent a letter to the Louisiana Treasurer and his fellow Bond Commission Members to delay any applications and funding for the City until its officials have affirmed they will enforce State laws.

“Honor Code” Edwards was quick to give his opinion on the actions taken by the AG during a press conference yesterday, which can be seen in the below video.

As Governor, “Honor Code” should be in the business of ensuring that the bills that were signed into law are properly executed. As a result, the Attorney General called him out on his response.

What's the point of @LouisianaGov signing these laws, if he doesn't care about them being enforced? https://t.co/7aXXbeoRH5

Once again, the “Governor” talks out of both sides of his mouth. Promotes himself as a “pro-life” Democrat and, at the same time, refuses to respect the rule of law in Louisiana.

“As Attorney General and member of the Bond Commission, it is my belief that a parish or municipality should not benefit from the hard-working taxpayers of this State while ignoring laws validly enacted by the people through their representatives,” said Attorney General Landry. “In light of the City’s open defiance of the will of the people of Louisiana, I urge the Bond Commission to defer any applications for the City of New Orleans, Orleans Parish, and any local governmental entity or political subdivision under its purview. In addition, any other funding that will directly benefit the City of New Orleans should also be paused until such time as the Council, Mayor, Chief of Police, Sheriff, and District Attorney have met with and affirmed that they will comply with and enforce the laws of this State and cooperate with any state officials who may be called upon to enforce them.”

Landry, in a filing last week, argued that the law “needs only to delineate what is illegal — not define what is legal.”

“The rule of law must be followed, and I will not rest until it is,” Landry recently tweeted.

Louisiana Abortion Ban Back in Effect

Louisiana’s abortion ban has been put back into effect and the case has been transferred to East Baton Rouge Parish.

More news: Louisiana's abortion ban is back in effect after a judge dissolved a temporary restraining order while the case is transferred to Baton Rouge.

It's possible that plaintiffs could get a new order blocking the law in a matter of hours, but that remains to be seen

Attorney General Jeff Landry: Trouble on the tracks is adding to America’s woes

Photo source: File photo

The worst kept secret in American households right now is that times are tough. The cost of gas, groceries and other necessitates are rising faster than a flock of spooked ducks. Inflation, supply chain issues and government failures have forced too many families to choose between fuel or food.

Exacerbating the problem is freight railroads failing to deliver. What once were affordable and dependable links in the critical supply chains, freight railroads are now expensive and unreliable clogs derailing any hope of a break for family budgets. Their service to manufacturers, farmers, and refineries with consumers across America has made building materials, food and fuel more costly — and in some cases — even scarce.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry announces bipartisan call for GoFundMe transparency

“GoFundMe's actions against the Freedom Convoy earlier this year brought to light an extreme lack of transparency in their policies,” Landry stated in a news release. “Big Tech platforms such as these must be held accountable and not be allowed to hide behind arbitrary standards that allow them to pick and choose ‘worthy’ causes."

According to their website, GoFundMe has served more than 50 million donors and helped organizers raise more than $5 billion since it launched in 2010.

The lawmakers cited the amount of fentanyl seized at the border starting when Mayorkas took office until December 2021, claiming it was enough to “kill every man, woman, and child in our country SIX TIMES over – an increase of over 30 percent since before you took office.” 

They also cited an uptick in sex offenders arrested entering the country last year, as well as falling deportation numbers since 2020. 

“Americans have died because of your failure to obey the law and do your solemn duty. More Americans will unnecessarily die and suffer for as long as you remain as Secretary,” the attorneys general wrote. “You must resign immediately.”

The letter’s signatories included attorneys general of: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Montana, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and West Virginia.

Federal vaccine mandate halted, AG Jeff Landry says more work needs to be done

LANDRY: School Vaccine Mandates Are ILLEGAL!

Louisiana Citizens for Job Creators sent out this email regarding a hearing on the vaccine mandate for COVID for Louisiana students:

This morning AG Jeff Landry testified before the Louisiana Legislature in defense of our states laws. He told the House Health and Welfare Committee that "the proposed rule that LDH plans to promulgate—adding the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of required immunizations for school entry—is not permitted under existing law."

He went on to say that if the state were to continue down the path set forth by the Governor, we would be joining the radical leftist state of California where personal freedom only applies to those wishing to have an abortion.

Landry made a convincing plea that the legislature support the rights of Louisiana citizens.

"I am asking you to take back the police powers of the state, and stop this vaccine mandate. We cannot allow an Executive Branch agency to bypass the constitutional responsibilities of the Legislature by allowing it to create policy and law by use of an executive rule. "

We're proud of Attorney General Landry standing up in support of parents and families knowing what is best for their children!

Jeff Landry is the Conservative Voice our state
needs during times like this.

Federal Judge Blocks COVID Vaccine Mandate for Healthcare Workers Challenged by Jeff Landry

Judge Terry Doughty of the Monroe division of the U.S. District Court of the Western District of Louisiana issued the ruling blocking the mandate, which would have applied to the more than 10 million U.S. healthcare workers who are employees of facilities that take money from Medicare and Medicaid. CMS estimated that roughly 2.4 million of those workers remain unvaccinated.

Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and the attorneys general of 13 other states sued the Biden administration over the rule earlier this month.

Landry: Oil and Gas Lease Sale Could Deliver $100M to Louisiana

“Lease sales generate millions and millions of dollars dedicated to environmental protection projects,” Landry said in a news release.

Landry led a coalition of 13 states that sued the administration after President Joe Biden suspended new leases for oil-and-gas drilling and fracking on federal lands and waters upon taking office in January.

A federal judge sided with Landry in June, allowing lease sales to continue while the issue remains in litigation.

Louisiana Citizens for Job Creators: AG BEATS BIDEN: Landry WINS Big For Louisiana Jobs!

Jeff Landry is at it again!

After Biden illegally halted the sale of Oil & Gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico, our state's Attorney General swooped into action. He instantly sued the Biden Administration for their overreach and ABUSE of Presidential Power! After a hard fought battle in court, today a Federal Court ruled in favor of Landry and allowed the lease sale to go through!

This is a win for our state, our nation, and job creators across the country who work every day to provide goods and services.

“Despite Joe Biden’s aggressive, reckless abuse of Presidential power to ban domestic energy development – we have delivered a victory for American families suffering from the pain at the pump and the cost to power their homes,” - Attorney General Jeff Landry

Joe Biden may not understand the importance of the Oil & Gas industry to hardworking, everyday Americans, but it's good to see that Jeff Landry does!

Thank you to AG Jeff Landry for giving Louisiana another WIN!

“As the leader of the Governor’s Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness,” General Landry wrote. “I urge you to make this an immediate priority. I also urge you to put immediate pressure on the White House and FEMA to get temporary housing units into these impacted Parishes now, rather than weeks from now.”
